Don’t call it a comeback

Booker finally scored a few points in the 4th after putting up 34 after 3 quarters.

Booker could give us a game winner in MSG at least. Something...

That was off Beal :lol:

This loss basically eliminates the Suns right?

Kind of, unless they can somehow win 3 more games.

No. They would need to win all of their last 4 games and the Kings would have to lose all their last 4 games. Next game though if Suns lose they are officially eliminated.

Suns last game of season is against guess who Kings.

It’s too bad Booker never played with the effort and energy from the last few games earlier in the season when KD was healthy and playing. They could’ve maybe been a play-in team then.

So basically they're done.

Suns shot 4/34 from 3. $50M man shot 0-5.

Pretty much. They still have a chance though to make the play in assuming they win all 4 and Kings lose all 4. They are 3 games back now of the Kings.

Just checked the standings we are two games behind Mavericks now. Suns have to win their next 3 games and hope Dallas drops their last 3 games.

If Suns lose their next game, it's over for sure.

Next two games for Suns against Warriors and Thunder than Spurs and Kings. Suns need to play these last 4 games of the season like it's do or die.

I never understood how professional basketball players who do this for a living and spend hours and hours on playing this child’s game can’t make open jumpers even when left wide, wide open. Especially guards and wings who are expected to make those.

My neighbor’s kid plays basketball outside on his driveway shooting the ball by himself and I swear whenever I’m driving by I see him making wide open jumpers that nba players cannot make. It’s kind of crazy.

43% is Dunn’s FT percentage. That’s insane. To put it in perspective, that’s a worse FT % than Shaq ever shot in his career. Cmon Ryan.

Yeah that FT percentage is bad!

Dunn needs to work on cutting more and trying to finish inside but if he keeps up his horrible FT shooting teams will happily hack him all night long.

I still think we should have taken Kyle Filipowski or Tyler Kolek instead of Dunn but time will tell if I was right.

They don’t need anywhere near all of that. They have the tiebreaker vs the kings unless it’s part of a 3 way tie. Plus the Mavs could lose out with their schedule.

Edit- at least I think that’s the case

Was looking forward for some entertainment from deciding last game with Kings but that is over. If Mavs somehow manage to miss the play-in to us that will be an absolutely devastating season for this franchise, a lot worse than the misery we experienced with Phoenix Mercenaries last two years. The fact that on paper there is still a chance to make the play-in with all this losing is funny though I'd bet Blazers overtake us in the final standings.

You have to take Mr Puddles posts with a grain of salt just like you have to take my posts with a super heavy grain of salt. Basically, there will be a ton of salt included in our posts.

Can’t believe OG did this to the Suns. The Suns will remember this play for next season I can almost guarantee it.
