Game Thread: Phoenix in Atlanta -- 3/4

Post #1 » by **Jamaaliver** » Sun Mar 4, 2018 2:45 pm

ATLANTA -- The winner of Sunday's game at Philips Arena between the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns might turn out to be the loser.

The teams are in an eight-way battle for the worst record in the NBA and the most ping-pong balls in the lottery for the first pick in the draft.

Phoenix (19-45) has the second-worst record, while Atlanta (19-44) is third going into the teams' second of two meetings this season.

The Suns edged the Hawks 104-103 in Phoenix on Jan. 2 but are 4-21 since, going winless in February.

The outcome of this match could legitimately be the difference between picking 1st and picking 5th.

I'm so proud of coach Bud. He's playing the game of tank out there.

Here's to hoping that Booker goes for 40 tonight!

Bembry is out with abdominal strain - has been the past 3 games.

Unfortunately for the Suns, they had like a 10 point comeback in the last 90 seconds or so in the first matchup, and Chriss, who has played like crap all season had a game winning block at the very end.

I think you guys deserve this win after that.

A little too hot from 3 so far for my liking.

OMG, how bad we are....

Bender is not better than Muscala.
Chandler is not better than Plumlee.

Yeah, our frontcourt is terrible.
