Just checked the standings and if season ended today, East has 5 below .500 teams that would make playoffs while in the West the Suns are above .500 and would miss playoffs and get the amazing #14 pick in the draft.

How f**ing terrible is the East? Doesn't the NBA, owners or commish have to do something about this?

BTW, I thought this was hilarious, it was probably already posted on here somewhere but I'll post it again

Trail Blazers ✔ @trailblazers

Is it too late to join the Eastern Conference? Asking for a friend.
3:10 PM - 4 Dec 2013

Phoenix Suns ✔ @Suns

@trailblazers We asked you to keep that on the down low. That eager to get rid of us already?

Trail Blazers ✔ @trailblazers

@Suns Well played

Some aspects ill be following more closely:

Marcus Morris with those "superb" Melo Shots ?

Green still atrocious ?

Whos Markieff ?

Dragic+Bledsoe?

Tucker not nononononoYes offensively anymore?

This could be an interesting game. The Raptors coming off an epic loss. I'm not worried about Gay, since Tucker will be on him. But who's gonna guard DeRozan?

Epic loss?

They were up by 18 to the GSW going into the fourth quarter... They lost by 9 points. GSW outscored them 42-15 in the 4th quarter. That is pretty epic as far as losses go.

They also led by 27 at one point in the 3rd. And couldn't grab a single defensive rebound in the 4th.

It will be difficult to defend Derozan and Gay, Dragic has to work hard against one of them.
I expect a great game.
GO SUNS!

Bledsoe on Derozan, that will be an interesting matchup.

grumpysaddle · Post #17 » by **grumpysaddle** » Sat Dec 7, 2013 2:14 am

PJ Tucker? More like MJ Tucker...

nevetsov · Post #18 » by **nevetsov** » Sat Dec 7, 2013 2:18 am

Frye on the fast break is like a deer in the headlights.

Saberestar · Post #19 » by **Saberestar** » Sat Dec 7, 2013 2:19 am

P.J. Tucker is a MAN.

Suns got super sloppy after the good start. :/
