Which team doesn't make the playoffs out of these?

Golden State, Dallas, Memphis and us.
Look at the standings.
http://espn.go.com/nba/standingsMemphis is only a game behind Dallas, but they are both playing well, as are we. Golden State is not playing as well, but did anyone expect them to miss the playoffs? One of these teams won't make it. Who would you guess it was?
And Minnesota is too far behind for us to get their pick, barring something catastrophic happening with one of the above teams, or them going on a crazy run.

I think DAL miss out...just
I don't like that MEM own us this season for tie-breaker purposes.
MIN is done, I can't see GS missing out, same goes for us

I think Portland or Dallas will slip out.
Like TASTIC said earlier, its a shame that Memphis owned the Suns this season. Not only could the tie breakers come in handy but those extra losses could have bumped the Grizz down pretty low to where they perhaps may have given up for the season or blown up the roster.

Between the Suns or Dallas. Gonna be a tough end of the season.

I'm guessing Dallas. But Portland has an outside chance and unfortunately the suns are also a possibility. Of the bubble teams I think Memphis and golden state are the least likely to miss the playoffs.
I hope whoever it is has a better record than the 3 seed out east so the media makes a stink about it and the best 16 team playoff I mentioned in the other thread gets some serious consideration.

They don't get mentioned much since they are division leaders and show as the #4 team but the Clippers haven't exactly distanced themselves from GSW and PHX either. Obviously it is in the Suns best interest to have a team go on a brutal stretch to give Minny life, how they are only 1 game up on the Nuggets is beyond me.

While I think the suns get in, I also think that Dallas is on their last leg before they have to go into full rebuild so they have motivation. But the suns were in their exact same position not to long ago and did end well.

I do remember Portland did have a pretty strong start a year or two ago and then really went downhill after that. Their strong start didn't last nearly as long though. That would be crazy if they slipped out.

I think they will probably make it if they stay healthy. They are 16-4 in their last 20. It would be nice if they lose to Charlotte tonight though.

They just did.
Minnesota is still 4 full games out of that all important 9th place.

It all depends on which team will stay healthy.
Any injury at this point is huge

If you look at Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, and Memphis Grizzlies they all have tough schedules coming up so just because the Suns lost some games doesn't mean they can't still make the playoffs .

And we are about to get better once we get bledsoe back whereas the grizz and the mavs don't have any major injuries at the moment and I think the warriors have bogut back too. So we are going to improve while they stay the same
