Of course Minnesota almost won tonight, but Denver did beat the Warriors.

We gained some ground with Brooklyn and NO winning. Still have an outside shot at the 3 seed. Just really need LAL and Brooklyn to upgrade.

We could realistically have the worst record in the league in a couple of months.

Gotta believe we will catch Brooklyn. They have no motivation to lose.

Btw. Simmons is likely going to Boston. They will have the highest odds I think.

Well I just did a sim lottery on tankathon and they got it, but one my second try Philly got it, but we got the #2 pick and third try we got the #3 pick..

I forgot Brooklyn owes its pick to Boston. Must be nice to be Boston right now. Fighting for a playoff position and a number 1 pick. Remember when we were fighting for a championship and a number 4 pick in a stacked draft? The beginning of the end for us.

I wish Suns gets into Top 3 :pray:

But knowing our luck even with the worse record Suns will end 4th

I did a bunch of sims today with us sitting at 6th, and we got in the top 3 a bunch, and the Sixers did drop to 4th quite a bit..

In other news, check out the Sixers/Bulls score.

Brooklyn actually owes Boston 3 consecutive unprotected picks

. Next year the Celtics have the right to swap. Boston could end up with top 3 picks in the next three drafts while competing for the playoffs.

Number 5....Pels won tonight. Lose to Minny at Minny on Sunday and we will be tied for 4/5.

Billy King is such an idiot, probably the worst GM of this century. Blanks pales in comparison. Instead of waiting until now, the Nets should have fired him on the spot after he allowed Ainge to take him to cleaners in the KG-Pierce blockbuster.

The funniest thing about all of that, is that (if you were watching the draft you would have seen it), was Bill Simmons' reaction to the trade on air...he was visibly pissed about the trade. :lol:

PHI 4 37
LAL 9 32
BRK 11 29
MIN 12 29
PHO 13 28

Unless we're stupid we should end up between 3-5th worst.

NO are ahead of us giving us 30% of the season head start, and Denver seems to win enough games regularly to stay ahead.

We really should finish 3rd or 4th last given Brookyln has incentive to get out of the bottom 3 so as to not to have potentially made the worst trade of all time.

Big tank game at Minnesota, wonder if we put the queue in the rack for this one.

Yeah, Brooklyn hopefully adds some vets at the deadline or earlier who can help them win a few games. I think the 3 is catchable. 2 will be tough, but LAL supposedly wants to win now for Kobe, so it's also possible they add some guys this year.

I'm truly hoping half our team goes down with hilarious injuries for Minnesota. PJ Tucker out, must travel to intergalactic galaxies to speak to people with Gravity. Tyson Chandler out after his father was trampled by a pack of wildabeasts. Brandon Knight doubtful, trying to find Nemo.

It's kind of depressing to think that one of the best GMs in the game used to be a Suns coach (Ainge), and that one of the best coaches in the game used to be a Suns GM (Kerr). I guess our organization has been able to attract the right talent, it just hasn't been able to place them in the right position.

The same could potentially happen with Hornacek as a player development coach, and Lon Babby as the Suns Gorilla.

jcsunsfan · Post #40 » by **jcsunsfan** » Sat Jan 16, 2016 12:58 pm

Oh come on! Babby would be a horrible Gorilla! Can you imagine the workmans comp claim the moment he hits that trampoline for an attempted dunk? It would be just ugly.

You gotta admit, Sarver got that one right.
