Suns Path to Playoffs

Good try by Philly but those 2 fouls when Portland was shooting a 3. including the 4pt play was the killer.

Not a good win. They squeaked by the 76ers backups. Suns would be a much more competitive 8 seed than those has-beens.

Again, it really sucks we didn't have a single game against any team ahead of us. Imagine we go 8-0 and still don't make it?

Such soft trash calls. Then nurkic slapped the crap put of someone right after and it wasn't called.

We’re playing our asses off to get a spot and the Blazers are playing against teams that have their worst game of the bubble every game...

Would be typical for our luck or lack there of over the years

Man I feel sick to my stomach thought 76ers would pull this out. Don't even want to watch next Suns game that's how upset I am. Just feels like Phoenix will come up short like in an NBA game where a team leads by 25-30 points by halftime and the other team keeps climbing and coming back only to fall short and lose at the buzzer.

So at this point we have to go 3-0 and the Blazers have to go 0-2 right?

It was a tongue and cheek comment. Of course the win wasn't hard earned and Lillard saved them this time around. Blazers should've won by 18+ without Embiid/Simmons playing.

Nope. We must finish 3-0 and pray Blazers lose one game to either Mavs or Nets. Also, we can finish 3-0 and still make it if Grizzlies lose their remaining games to Boston & Milwaukee.

Suns are playing to well to screw this up and not finish 8-0. But we must rely on Celtics, Bucks, Mavs & Nets to play spoilers.

Yup. Need to finish 3-0 and hope Portland loses once or Grizzlies go 0-2 to finish. Our best shot is if the Mavs actually play Luka/KP on Tuesday (they're sitting monday)

Knowing our luck they'll sit Mon/Tuesday then play against us on Thursday

I can not see the Grizzlies winning to the Celtics or the Bucks, not even with their three best players resting.

Well, step by step. We need to win our game tomorrow.

Let's hope Nash phoned Cuban and asked for a favor. If that's the case Luka & KP play against Blazers and sit out vs Suns.

Only if Grizzlies lose out and Blazers finish 1-1 otherwise not a chance.

Also, we can finish as low as 7th if Mavs are disqualified but chances are slim to none.

I actually trust more in Nets over the Philly team obviously they already lost. Nets can score in bunches and are having an offensive clinic against the Clippers now.

How in the world can the Mavs be disqualified?

I think you guys make it if you win out, I don't see the Grizzles beating the Bucks and the Celtics. I'd worry about the game vs the Mavs though, gotta think Luka is coming for revenge...
