My head before every game: It's a great experience for these guys, the chances of making 9th was never decent, we dug ourselves in this hole.

My heart when the game starts: We are **** bubble legends.

Thats the way I am . Just good to get experience. But with the Blazers losing today and the Heat without three core players - take advantage of the opportunity and win the game.

But it is good to be in these games that mean something - it will help them as a team I think.

Playoffs or not, this has been a really encouraging run. I think 8-0 would change the national perception, too. Adams and Schroder are DTD but still expecting another tough game against the Thunder.

At the very least hope you guys make it to the play-in game. Really love the Suns' core.

So really we need to go 3 and 0 with one Blazers loss or 2 and 1 with two Blazers losses.

I just don't see Memphis losing all 3 games.

Memphis plays the best coached team in the NBA(IMO) in the Raptors, then Boston and lastly the Bucks so you never know. If Portland loses tomorrow and Pelicans beat the Spurs we'll be tied for 9th with NO. Although looking at their schedule I'd rather Spurs win since NO still has Sacramento and SA has the Rockets.

Lets all hope Embiid balls out and the Sixers beat the Blazers. If so, we control our own destiny and can make the playoffs. Just have to win out.

I think the Memphis game is just a little important, as a loss would keep some small hope alive that they lose out. Still, hard to believe they won't win one of these last three.

But the Blazers game is huge. We need them to lose. The Mavs might decide to rest up in their second-to-last game, and the Blazers' matchup against the Nets should be a gimme.

3-way tie isn't possible because the Blazers played 1 more game.
