Would be a fitting way for him to break the record.

Honestly, I follow them fairly closely, and they are much better when he gets tons of assists than when he takes a lot of shots. And tonight those open shots were not falling so I don't blame him.

They were complaining before he sat.

Not in our house! Great to see that this team still has pride despite the tanking

Now let's see the Lakers beat the Kings

Because it's about pride and not letting this be the team he gets a record against.

Unfortunately for the tank, I could see the Suns ending the season on a mini win streak. Good going into the off-season though, for next year. I'd just rather have as high a pick as possible.

Yeah, I expect third, even though the Lakers are winning with 2 minutes left, so I won't care if we win or lose from here on out too much. I think.

I think Chriss has probably hit "the rookie wall" for the second time in one season. Suns could shut him down the last 2 as far as I'm concerned.

Interesting fact the last time the 2nd worst team won the Draft Lottery was 2003 Cleveland which tied with Denver for the worst record thats when they drafted Lebron ! The last time the 2nd worst team won the lottery and was not tied with the worst was 1996 Philadelphia . So you can look at it negatively the 2nd worst team hasn't won the lottery very often or you can look at it the way I look at it the 2 worst record team is over due for a win of the lottery !

Unfortunately the last two games are Mavs and Kings. Second spot might not be so solidified.

Maybe our TANK commander has been Chriss all along... we tied for worst losing streak, but tonight we didn't want to set the record. I think we lose the next two.
