This is why I don't even bother with this team. We need to bring Hinkie aboard, I'm actually serious

But you do bother with this team because you're watching and posting.

If we would have won this game because Book got 40 and Len can 25 I wouldn't have been mad.

I am going to try and put a positive spin on this even though I'm not in love with this result firmly placing us in 4th now.

1) this team has not quit on a single game since Watson has took over. I'm a big Bengals fan and much of Cincy wanted Lewis fired after a couple bad seasons, but the one constant was they always played hard regardless of the score. When a coach gets a team to do that it honestly is very impressive. Maybe he deserves a shot

2) Booker seems like a fiety competitor that this team needs in order to compete with the leagues elite. Hard to want someone like that to tank or even get to tank.

3) at some point the league has to reward the Suns and why not this year? With how hard we are playing not obviously tanking why can't karma come our way just once?

Just trying to stay somewhat positive even though I don't love this result

the difference between 3 and 4 is not a big deal in this draft. If you aren't picking top 2 it might be a blessing to go 4 and not have to risk it with bender.

Hoping we get a PG to backup Bledsoe for a time and get rid of knight

This **** team I just cannot fathom. Why did we just win the most meaningless game in NBA history? Are we trying to make Goodwin and Teletovic feel better? Teletovic might be gone after this season. Goodwin can barely get minutes on a garbage squad.

Please tell me why we are giving Boston the #3 pick and a greater chance for #1/#2 :noway: :noway: :noway:

Looks like the bench scored 70. Good grief Jenkings and Budinger played big minutes. No one played 30 minutes or more. Not sure what else you can do to lose games except start your end of bench guys.

How many #1 overalls did Philly get in their Tank Tenure?
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Thats why there is a lottery. You can't take matters into your own hands. You can increase your odds some but its luck in the end.

This franchise really can't do anything right.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Or be smart and "rest" our vets. Just like every other smart team.

Nothing the Suns can do about the last two wins. They faced a Rockets team that is imploding down the stretch of the season and a Pelicans team that is about as terrible as a team can get right now. It is more about the timing of playing these teams rather than the Suns playing well. The Suns just came off a seven game losing streak I think. I would not say they are playing good basketball. They are playing horrible basketball. Unfortunately, so are the Rockets, Pelicans, and the Nets as well. The Suns would have needed to purposefully miss shots tonight to lose and I have never seen a team do that before. I am as disappointed as everyone else that they might switch places with the Nets for lottery odds but there is nothing we can do about it.

This has Sarver's fingerprints all over it.

Remember when we played the Spurs in preseason and they rested all their key guys? Sarver actually took the mic at our arena, called out the Spurs, and offered all of the fans a refund. Lol. It was a **** preseason game!

Sarver has some stupid competition complex even in meaningless games. He's a tool. A smart owner would have shut down our vets 3 games ago.

Yeah, at this point if we don't trade our pick and keep it, and end up 5 or 6 we might as well take Dunn there. I wouldn't mind taking a 4 either...whoever is highest on our board, but if we really like Bender, and miss out on him, after that it may not matter. There is a better chance of us moving up or down than staying put anyway.

I'm happy the Suns aren't resting players. It's just sad when teams do that. Sucks we won but oh well. Suns were going to win tonight's game no matter what.
