This may be a great night for the Suns. KD's home debut against the Wolves (likely a win), compounded by possible losses Clippers/Lakers/Mavericks, on the road against playoff opponents. Memphis has been on fire ever since Morant's absence. The Mavs' interior is Wood/Powell/McGee, so I'm guessing Embiid's calf would magically heal against Dallas. Chicago has been playing well recently as, sitting at 36-39 coming a road win against the Lakers.. It could put more separation for Phoenix as a the 4th seed.

The horror show of a season for Piston fans is getting closer to being over. Hoping for a win from either the Rockets or Spurs to widen the gap to ensure the Pistons can't pick lower then 5.
It is the only thing us poor bastards have to look forward to.
I wonder how good OKC would have been this year with a healthy Chet. People seem to have forgotten he is another 7+ footer with gaurd skills.

Dude what’s up with Cade? I’ve been out of the loop with the Pistons, so forgive me, but was he shut down to tank or is his injury just that serious? He’ll be back next year though right?

I've accepted that the Knicks will never tank, but it's very surprising to me that a lot of people who argue against tanking don't really get this point.

Out for the year with a fracture on his shin. Of course, everybody and their moms are hopefully for Victor, and so am I.

Oh dang, yeah that’ll do it. Unfortunate, but good thing the bone is a tad bit more resilient after healing from a fracture like that. I was down on him when I first saw him play, but he was coming around to NBA level competition as he got more games in. Hope we see more of that next season! Thanks for the update man.

nobody forgot it's just that his injury so early into his NBA career, along with his history and build do not bode well for him actually having a real NBA career, health wise

This 14+ year rebuild has taken a toll on me. However, I do believe Cade is the most skilled prospect we have drafted during these years, so I hope he becomes a player more like Brandon Roy rather than Greg Monroe.

For the Memphis game? Absolutely, especially if they win tonight.
A win versus the Pelicans is a two game swing, essentially. I'd rather have Friday be a "scheduled loss" and win the segababa.
