WILD finish in OKC

SGA hits a nearly impossible shot to tie it... then Devonte’ Graham one-ups him with a miracle for a Pelicans win

Epic finish

Getting the #1 is big for home court and to avoid Utah in the 2nd rd.

GS will be #1

GS will be #1

I don't think so. Steph will miss some time eventually and when he does they'll lose a lot of ground.

I agree plus they might struggle a bit when they add Klay and maybe Wiseman back into the rotation. I think Utah finishes with the best record again and we'll be in the mix with GS and Brooklyn for 2nd best.

If people didn't click on the link I don't think they realize how unbelievable the finish was to the Pelicans-Thunder game.

Two incredibly long shots determine the winner in only 4.5 seconds.

The Suns were tied for the 2nd worst record going in 2019 and fell back in the lottery. Imagine they won it again and drafted Zion who looks like he’s going to be Greg Oden 2.0

Joel Meyers, the Pels play-by-play guy is a throwback. He sounds like a chain-smoking radio guy from the Howard Cosell era.

Oden’s body failed him you can’t blame that on him. Zion looks to be just lazy he’s more of a JaMarcus Russel type bust.

I feel bad for guys like Oden and Sam Bowie guys who had all world talent but it just wasn’t in the cards.

Guys like Zion and Russel don’t deserve the talent they were given.

We swept Utah last year, if we still have them figured out and beat em 3 out of 4 or sweep em again that would be a lot of ground Utah has to makeup against the rest of the league.

Isaiah Thomas will sign with Lakers on 10-day contract under hardship exemption.

He checks all the boxes the Lakers seem to look for in players right now. A perfect fit!

I've always hoped that Thomas might eventually make his way back to the Suns like on a two-way contract.

Yeah we went 3-0 against them last year, the first two games were very competitive including an OT win and the final game against them they were playing without either starting guard. I don't think we can count on getting that lucky again.

Also, I think we came out big on the luck end last season in a lot of our regular season matchups, I'm expecting that to average out a bit this year.

Last season the Suns didn't kick it into gear until near the end of January so I'm hoping their better start helps.

The coronavirus, the way it's spreading so quickly, worries me especially during the playoffs. It could ruin the whole season if key players get it at the wrong time. Luckily the Suns survived Chris Paul missing some games in the playoffs.
