I wonder if you know what it's like to run a franchise. At this point losing is the key to future success. When the suns miss out on #2 odds because of one extra win, remember this.

Yeah so the coach should say "okay guys we need to lose now! Len stop playing so well!"

Again. What is the plan? We aren't exactly the FA destination unless I've been watching a different team.

right, because we are guaranteed to draft a superstar at #2 and a bust at #3 and there is no way at all that we make any trades.

You'll see. Rooting for wins at this point in the season is actually counter productive to being a fan of the team. These losses will not hurt Len/Booker etc. Curry, Durant, LeBron etc, all went through losing early in their career. Oh, and there is a reason their respective franchises were in proper position to select them.

Damn what happened? I missed this game, and just checked the score. What sucks is I could have caught the second half but I was busy....we finally have a game that may have been fun to watch and I miss it...go figure.

Simmons/Ingram are miles ahead of anyone else in the upcoming draft. Miles. Being armed with one of those two picks is a much better trade asset than #3. #knowyourfacts

Philly losing. Wolves losing. Lakers most likely will lose. Meanwhile we want to win a pointless game :lol:

Or 7th. I've always been more worried about Brooklyn passing us than us catching the Lakers.

Watching Len was a lot of fun.

31 point 15 rebounds 2 blocks from our 22 year old raw center.
14 points 6 assist and 4 rebounds from our 19 year old shooting guard
10 points 4 rebounds from our 21 year old back-up shooting guard.

And people are complaining that we won

I'm fully confident we will win the lottery regardless of where we end up record wise.

Honestly though, I'd probably be more nervous during the lottery if we had the worst record than if we had the third worst record.

That's paranoia and Suns luck talking. Odds are odds. It is not rigged.

Let's hope Brooklyn and LA win tonight...

OK. Looks like we have no chance of getting them then if we have #3 lottery odds. What a shame, I really like Ingram.

If only the NBA was that simple.

It's still a crapshoot though. #2 odds could end up at 4 and #4 odds could end up at 1....any of the top 4 have a reasonable shot of moving up or down. Sure I'd rather have better odds, but one thing is certain and that is that nothing is certain other than we can't drop lower than 3 spots.
