Every time I pull up a box score of a WC team it feels like they have between 35 and 38 wins.

I just don’t get why teams say Ef it and let the teams win who are right above the lakers so that lebron and the lakers won’t make the play in! Come on

You really think the Zebras don't know what the standings look like? Those teams would get 100 FTs easy

The silver lining is that every team below us has 3 more losses than us as the moment, while we also hold the tie breaker over all those teams.

Thus effectively, they need to win 4 more games than the Suns to make us tumble into the play-ins. Even if that happens, another team would have to win 4 more games than us in order to make us fall out of the double dip 7th seed. I get that people are down because the suns have been losing games while short handed, but the teams below is havent exactly been tearing it up either.

I'm assuming that we'll be taking a super cautious approach with Durant and Ayton, so I could see us falling to the 6th seed, but don't see us falling lower than that.

I think I know our problem.

It's those awful blue outfits we are wearing. I really do not like them.

They should be able to beat San Antonio at home possibly. We are looking at 39 wins.

I put 20 bucks on over 42.5 before KD joined which appeared a safe bet. Not anymore. I want my money, don't care about the playoffs. :lol:

We should get a fair whistle tonight after the NBA gave us an L. That’s how Silver operates take one give one. Kings are at home so we won’t get a favorable whistle. That’ll come Saturday against the sixers.

Players still gotta show up and perform though.

Until they either don't make or get knocked out the playoffs I have faith. I'm tired of throwing in the towel after every bad game and kvetching about what the Suns have done wrong.

Gotta look at the bright side, we'll get 25-35 games a year where KD looks like KD and we'll feel okay about seeing Mikal drop 25+ for 82.

Hot take: Mikal will be a champion before Book.

Role players / bench play better at home. We really should win today.
