Stop the madness ....

ah, it will be good for Siler to get some more burn. And every game is one more towards Things Getting Better ... right?

It's gonna be hard to out-tank Minny...I mean they're literally playing for first spot in the lottery

Yea, I don't think our tank is strong enough to outdo the Kahn's tank, it seems like destiny that Minnesota will get the #1 overall pick and draft Kemba Walker.

Utah is winning. It's our chance to bring out the big tank.

is Nash playing?

From Coro's AZCentral Blog :

* Vince Carter will not play in tonight's game. Apparently, he took a knee to the thigh. Or something like that. Zabian Dowdell might get some time at off-guard tonight.

* Suns coach Alvin Gentry said center Garret Siler, who played all of the fourth quarter Sunday night in Dallas, will get more time tonight. He will try to play Siler with the first-teamers more.

* Parting words from Nash: "I want to play the last two games. We might not have basketball for a long time. If I'm able, I want to play."

Well, Utah won tonight! We just need them to beat Denver Wednesday (Nene and Afflalo were injured tonight, and Gallo/Chandler/Harrington have been sitting out due to injuries) and we need to LOSE to the Spurs.

We are in the Tank for sure! #12 pick, HERE WE COME!!!!!!!

Is Siler taking Robin's spot? I gotta say, he deserves more PT and he does look pretty solid out there.

seems like our tank is pretty strong! lets lose to the T-Wolves!!!

Suns teased us with the tank, but couldn't keep up the crappy play the entire game. Looks like Utah will get the Jimmer

YouTube · Post #14 » by **Kerrsed** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 5:38 am

They screwed us. Now, the most we can do is tie Utah, but we beat them all 3 times this year, thus they get the higher pick. It sucks, because i was thinking we could draft Jimmer, then package him, Nash, Pietrus, and Lopez for Harris, Millsap, and the #13 pick (Burks). Buy a 2nd rounder (Nogueira)

Harris/Brooks/Z
Burks/Dudley
Childress/Hill
Millsap/Warrick/Lawal
The Gortat/Nogueira

Nash/Jimmer
Bell/Evans
Pietrus/Hayward
Favors/????
Jefferson/Lopez/Okur

Nice, good to see Frye with a career high. He's set a new one a few times this year.

When we need a win, they lose. When we need a loss, they win. I really hate being a fringe playoff team.

RunSunRun · Post #17 » by **RunSunRun** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 7:54 am

Well, if we suck completely next year, least we'll have a shot at Perry Jones, :sigh:

JohnVancouver · Post #18 » by **JohnVancouver** » Tue Apr 12, 2011 8:39 am

I decided to skip this one and am steeling myself for the Spurs game Wednesday - that's going to hurt. But then it will be over and the healing can begin, I hope. Except someone on another thread said that the FO might think about keeping VC as a huge expiring for the deadline next year ..... that made my blood run cold as a Slurpee, and it's juts so awful I can imagine it happening.

I t can always get worse - a mantra for Suns fans

Yep.

You know that feeling of relief you get when you're having a nightmare and you suddenly wake up and realize everything's okay?

Being a Suns fan is the opposite of that. Over. And over. And over.
