Suns Path to Playoffs

[SunsRback4Good]

I like making small predictions and seeing if they come true. Said Suns would limit Warren to under 22 points and it happened. Now predicting Suns finish 3-1 while Grizzlies 0-4 and we finish 9th and face Blazers for play in.

If we go 4-0 then the Grizzlies have to win 2 games to finish ahead of the Suns.

If Memphis goes 1-3 and the Suns go 4-0 the Suns are in the play-in. If Memphis goes 0-4 and the Suns go 3-1 it depends. Both Portland and Memphis having the tiebreaker over the Suns really hurts. The Suns have the tiebreaker over San Antonio.

But Suns beat Blazers two out 3 games this season. How do Blazers own a tie breaker over us?

They split the season series 2-2. Portland currently has a better conference record by 1 game! That COULD change.

It would be nice if Utah could turn it on in the 4th against the Spurs.

Man losing out on a conference record tie breaker after going 8-0 would be a heart breaker. I mean, a head to head tie breaker would already suck, but a conference record tie breaker would be an especially tough pill.

Anyway, I think the road to the 9th spot goes through Memphis. I think the grizzlies losing 3 more games is more likely than the blazers losing 2.

I'm rooting for you guys. Love underdogs and you guys are playing with so much heart right now. Everyone counted you guys out and yet here you are taking teams down one by one. Probably the best NBA bubble story so far.

Thank you, but we're just putting the league on notice for our historic 82-0 Championship season next year. This is all just practice.

That's tough. Hopefully Noel can handle Valanciunas.

I really like Darius Bazley who can play some small-ball PF/C for the Thunder.

It's gonna be an interesting game.

Finishing 3-1 would also mean both the spurs and waterbirds would need to lose another game.

I think the only realistic road for the suns to get to the play in game is going 4-0.

Grizzlies will likely win a game, go 1-3, and we play those pesky blazers for the 8th spot.

This won't even matter because there is no way we will be in a tie with Portland. Closest it would be is 1/2 a game difference since they play one more game total.

Bad news... the Grizzlies are winning by 13 in the third quarter.

****.

[SunsLyf3]

Horrible game by OKC. They don't belong in the playoffs and will probably be swept.

OKC lead by 18 that's a 31 point turn around. I'll never in my life root for Nuggets & Thunder. Its like they gave up battling for good playoff spots..

[spanishninja]

yeah, bunch of **** bums, the Thunder. enjoy hanging out in bumtown with the Nuggets!

[grumpysaddle]

Teams are losing intentionally to avoid having to play the mighty Phoenix Suns in the playoffs. It's a conspiracy!

We might be done...

This is why getting all worked out on sports is a bad idea for your mental being. No matter how things are looking up eventually it gets worse.

We gotta finish 4-0 while Grizzlies go 0-3 rest of way. Blazers need to go 2-2 as well. Arghhh

[grumpysaddle]

Today could have been so huge for the Suns, but everything is going wrong. Still not finished though, just need to keep winning. But, hoping for luck to be on the Suns side has never seemed to work out well before.

I actually think it would be in the NBA's best interests to find a way to let the Suns get to the playoffs. That Cinderella story for the season would be huge for them.

[King4Day]

No doubt the sexiest play-in matchup would be Suns/Blazers. Not the Pels anymore with Zion falling apart.

Booker vs. the guy who gave him his all-star spot. What an exciting matchup that'd be

[SunsRback4Good]

Spurs without Aldridge, Pels without Zion, Grizzlies without JJJ, Kings are done. The blazers will easy win first game against those teams. Wish Suns made it in.

Pray that Blazers can lose on back to back days tomorrow against Clippers & Philly.
