Game #30: Phoenix Suns(13-16) vs Philadelphia 76ers(12-19)

[JMac1]

A) You can't win the championship if you don't make the playoffs.

B) More basketball is more basketball.

C) Playoff basketball is playoff basketball.

D) Added revenue from home games.

E) It helps foster a winning culture.

F) It is an utter FAILURE to not make the playoffs in the NBA, considering 16 teams make it. Not making the playoffs is a disgrace.

G) Why NOT make the playoffs? So we can get a crappy draft pick? The chances of us making a deep run in the playoffs is arguably greater than winning the #1 pick in the draft.

H) Experience for those who haven't made the playoffs before, or haven't in a long time.

One of the best post ever on this board!

I'm trying hard to believe that this is just a bunch of new guys getting used to each other

good things: Pietrus, Gortat looking like he can partner with Nash and showing beter hands, VC really looking like he makes a great backcourt partner for Nash and he still has some hops. Watch how hard he works to get free, too
Frye working very hard on defense

Bad things: everything else

not a good game

Also the 2011 draft is suppose to be one of the worst drafts ever so tanking and not making the playoffs is pointless. They just need to get a power forward in here asap because Frye is not and I repeat is not a starting power forward . Neither is warrick in fact if Gentry wants to gain points he will bench Warrick for the forseeable future because he is just plain horrible.

I wouldn't panic just yet, you just got a few new key guys. Orlando took a few games to get it, Miami took nearly a month....

Oksy. Most disappointing game of the season. We can sum up this game in one simple sentence.

"A team with Steve Nash lost to the 76-er's who was without Andre Igoudala."

I don't think I have to say anything else.

[Mr. Sun]

76ers scared the Lakers tonight.

i really want you guys to pull through on the west as a magic fan. I really like gortat and peitrus here in orlando. These guys will help out alot on your team..Ofcourse there is vince carter who i know will do well with steve nash instead of jameer nelson. It will work out the best for him to play for suns the rest of the way just because you guys have a great medical staff. These trades that we have made between us really will benefit us in the end. GO SUNS! (as a magic fan i am rooting for you guys all the way for in the west)
