Mavs clinched the play in spot.
Somehow the Suns are likely in a stranger/worse spot than the Mavs as a franchise.

Yes, there is always someone worse than us... But it's not a great point of view honestly, or maybe it's good for losers.

Raptors are tanking. This better be a W.

Also, Brandon Williams has to start over Dinwiddie here just to see where they're at. The sample size for heavy PG minutes for Dinwiddie says he can't handle it.

The game today showed that AD needs to be fed the ball. The W is expected. If you have plays that can get the ball to AD within 6 ft from the rim, that would be ideal. You give it to him 20 or 30 ft out, then it's just an iso play. You're missing a Kyrie P&R here, sucks that Kyrie had to go down with a torn ACL. Bad luck.
B-will > Dinwiddie

AD is a lion versus bad teams and a little sheep versus good teams. Same old story.

Kings play the Suns for the last game, Suns have nothing to play for, and Mavs play the Grizzlies who have a tiny chance of nabbing the 7th seed, 99.9% Mavs are 10th seed and will travel to play the Kings on Wednesday.

Suns don't own their FRP, I would imagine they would try to make their unprotected FRP as bad as possible. Just imagine, if Rockets get first pick.

They have won yesterday and Booker was playing, although I agree Kings motivation is much stronger.
