And here is the Suns upcoming schedule, so we got 8 out of 10 home games coming up.


I'm hoping for two only, but we might end up winning half of these if everyone is healthy.

3 wins minimum, I don't think our players will embrace the tank.

Lakers. Mavs, Blazers, Kings, Magic, Pistons

Scary run of games, we could win 4 easily. Hopefully Bledsoe picks up an "injury"

5 wins, but i hope for 0-1

I'm not too scared of any of these teams. While a few are playing good basketball we typically play better than expected for some of those games. I got us at 6-4

Unfortunately I am going to go with 4 wins.

Why would you say such things?

Trust me I do not like it either. But with that schedule and playing our vets we are bound to win 4 in there. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to win 1 or 2 more. Hornets, Magic and Lakers are all wins for sure. There is Portland Sacramento and Detroit in there. Our vets will be wanting those W's

^I feel you there. Hoping we rest Bledsoe on a couple of these games, even though it pains me to say it as I have him in my money fantasy league. We gotta hope McD told Watson to get on the tank train.

Would love a nice phantom injury from Bledsoe and starting Knight in his place. That won't happen though, nor do I think they should just bench Bledsoe for no reason. That sends a horrible message throughout the league about our franchise. That is one of the reasons why I think we should have traded Bledsoe at the deadline. Tank harder and start fresh at the PG position with Ulis and our draft pick. That also lets Knight play and he either finds his game again and ups his trade value or he helps the tank. With Bledsoe running the show no chance that we are really trying to tank

I don't think we have to try that hard.

Victories against Lakers, Mavs & Magic.

If we beat the Lakers, we have the tie breaker and go ahead of them in the standings if we have the same record at the end of the year.

I think we may take 3. Not sure our tank is strong enough to win less.

We need to hand out some 10-day contracts just for this game. Sit everyone, including Booker.

I thought in an event of a tiebreaker they just add the two teams combined lottery balls and divide them evenly? I guess if there is one extra ping pong ball then the Lakers would have 1 more shot out of 1000.
And it looks like Booker is already calling it quits. He hasn't looked nearly as aggressive, the same with Bledsoe. You can really see that there is a different approach to games after the all-star break.
