Us getting a play in game is basically like making the finals in 76 and 93.

Yeah - this is a blast. The nba needs to figure out how to replicate this somehow... feels like the World Cup or something.

Utah Jazz are such a dog **** team. I can honestly say that the Suns are a better team than them. Their offense is extremely painful to watch and I don't even care about them. Imagine being an actual Jazz fan. With having Ayton for the full season next year hopefully, that's the team we can most likely replace in the top 8.

If this restart doesnt put to rest the Mitchell vs Booker debate I dont know what will.

Well they are missing one if not the most lethal scorers in the league in Bojan Bogdanovic.

His stats for the season look pretty similar to Oubre's with the only big difference being that Bojan is a better 3pt shooter than Oubre (35% vs 41%).

I thought their offense was pretty bad before the restart too. Their offense ranks 3rd worst among all playoff teams in scoring (only Indiana and Philadelphia are worse). I was actually kind of surprised by that because I expected it to easily be the worst.

Assuming the Suns go 8-0, they need this many losses from each team:


Memphis: 2--3 Losses so far
Portland: 3--1 Loss
Pelicans: 3--2 Losses so far
Kings: 3--2 Loss so far
Spurs: 2--1 Loss

I think we can drop one and still make it. Just means if we lose to the clipps, he have no more wiggle room over the last 5 games and therefore must beat Philly, Miami, AND Dallas again.

Clips and Miami scare me the most. Philly can be pretty hit or miss and with the Mavs being the last game they might not have anything left to play for

Indy is no slouch either and OKC always seems to beat us. Hoping for the best though. It would be huge to win today.

Luka didn't get any calls in the first quarter! Gotta be a makeup situation which is ironically screwing the Suns a second time.

He's on pace for 20FTA again, not sure what you mean didn't get any calls.

Mavs seeding is clear now, so game against them should be an easy win. The clippers game should be a fight though. 30 mins left.

The game is on the second quarter yet, I would bet that the Mavs win this one.

Jaren Jackson Jr out with a torn meniscus. Memphis is crumbling.
