Suns won at late in the 4th so we need to win.
Amazing how many wins they have got with games at the line.

I think the Rotowire graphic above could be missing some other Kings that are OUT: Fox, Holmes, Bagley and Barnes.

Yep. Etwaun Moore won the game for the Suns on a three pointer with 2.2 seconds left.

It looks like the Spurs played their main guys close to regular minutes. The Suns were playing without CP3 (rest), Booker (rest), Crowder (ankle), Cameron Johnson (wrist) and Ayton (knee), so this was a good win by the Suns.

Suns sat their top 5 players, and won...

Booker dnp
Paul dnp
Ayton dnp
Bridges 5 mins
Crowder dnp

...just sayin

Yep! Suns are Probably going to go down hard against the Lakers, (it’s a really bad matchup with our thin frontline against that LA skyline) ...Oh well

Good playoff luck fellow “still haven’t won a chip” Jazz franchise/fans

Good luck to you as well. Hope we can meet in WCF, against all casual odds.

Think the jazz are trying to lose this game. Holy cow they want second seed.

Ingles and Bogey check out, Jazz go on a 15-0 run...... Of course.......

O'Neal is playing like crap both ends of the ball. Joe isn't playing good at all. I'm ready to bench both and play the mini van.

Just horrible line up right now.

Jazz look tired, but they're closing it out.

FYI, I moved the posts discussing the playoff rotation to the Official 2020-2021 Utah Jazz Season Discussion thread. It seemed to make more sense to discuss it over there, hope it doesn't interrupt the flow.
