Memphis too. This would be a huge win for Memphis. Besides if our biggest concern is whether or Dallas is jumping over Chicago for the 12th or 13th spot, then we have already won.

In some ways, if we didn't have the Dallas pick, I might actually be rooting for Dallas because it is a lot easier to root for Dallas than it is to root for Houston.

I'm not too caught up in caring about the Dallas pick anymore, they're making the playoffs one way or another and the prospects in that range are too meh for me to be up in arms about. It's not like last year where the talent was super deep then a steep drop.

The only thing that happens on PHO possessions is a missed 3 or a turnover.

Very prophetic. At least it wasn't close in the end. Hawks now up 14. This is over.

MEM win is very important...still need another one, but stilll.

Also DET lossing is important, because WAS still is not out...WAS has 2 more games with BRK.

Im still very optimistic PHO can get 2 wins in last 3 games!

They should be tanking though…

Admittedly, it's hard to tell with them.

Looks like Atlanta is going to double up Phoenix in the second half. It is 59-32 right now.

It is all abour BRK pick...DAL will be just a cherry on top if they finish 12-14th.

Phoenix winning would have been a massive double positive for us. Now lets see if we can get a miracle in Utah.

Yes, somehow Pop decides to play starters today...was almost sure he will rest them! Looks like he will play bench both games with GSW...and off course against DAL last game of season pfffffffffffff

We can't thank you enough for giving us our two best PGs this past decade, but please do us this last one favor -- WIN ONE.

P.S. We can swap Young for Booker if that's all it takes to get this request done.


Those first two are very winnable.. Tough to say. Strange thing about the NBA is that teams end up winning when they try to lose. So maybe we should be hoping Phoenix rests all their starters and tries to avoid injuries..

This man must be stopped.



As the only JJ Barea stan in the history of RealGM I think its awesome if he is the guy who gets us to the playoffs. The irony is that Dirk has been dreadful during the streak and he was playing amazing in the stretch we went 2-8 right before this.

That's what's killing me! Parsons out, DWill out, Dirk playing like crap... What's left?

Well, JJ Barea is left. And, apparently, that's enough. :banghead:

Agreed, the Suns should be tanking and if they lose to NOP, they definitely are. If they beat NOP, it will be really close, and who knows we might get lucky.
Good assessment:

Houston@Dallas tonight. If Houston wins then they only have to play even with Dallas the rest of the way. They have LAL, MIN, SAC, and PHO.

I think if Dallas loses this game they are out.
