At the risk of jinxing something beautiful...

The Magic are up by 9 at the half!

Over the Bucks!

This could be the perfect tank game!

Ayton is as close to a sure fire all-star as can be found in the draft. It is hard to find the superlatives to describe him. Bilas is on the verge of calling him the love child of shaq and Robinson. No freshman big has ever put up these kind of stats, and with such skill. He's a monster, he is going number one unless some terrible gm outthinks themselves and gets really cute.

I definitely want the big over the guard but Doncic is also going to be a star in this league. He is already a star at the highest level internationally

Wow that just took a bit of pressure off the suns. I view Orlando as the main competition besides the Hawks.

It looks like Fox made a 9 foot floating jump shot to send the Kings game into overtime.

When I was watching the box score I was actually rooting for Fox to make a play.

He rewards me. LOL

I thought Fox could be the player who could tie the game with zero time left on the clock because he can create his own shot.

That's why I was rooting for him to tie the game.

Of course I was a big fan of Fox in the draft as well. :mrgreen:

I was too actually. He was my next choice after Jackson. I was hooked on his athletism and speed.

Chicago@Memphis

There is also the 76ers vs Knicks. I know the Knicks have a bit of distance between them and the Suns but if they can get another win or two that should put them far enough away that they won't be able to catch the Suns.

The Grizzlies vs Bulls game is important for the Suns if they hope to overtake Memphis. I looked at their schedule and they could very well extend their losing streak to 30 games if they can't beat Chicago. They play 5 teams that are out of the playoff picture, 2 of those teams are Charlotte and Detroit who could still make the playoffs if they get hot but it's unlikely, the Charlotte game is the 2nd night of a back to back on the road for them. They also play the Nets and Lakers but neither of those teams own their picks so they won't be tanking against the Grizzlies. The most likely win is against Sacramento but if they lose out headed into that game they'll have 29 straight losses and I can't see the Suns matching them at that point. They only have 3 games remaining at that point.

Here is what they'll have left after the Bulls games...

At home vs Denver then @ Brooklyn, @ Philly, @ Charlotte, back home for the Lakers, on the road again @ Minnesota, Portland, @ Utah, @ Portland again, @ New Orleans, Sacramento, Detroit, @Minnesota, and @ Oklahoma City to close out the season.

Mentally I've written off the Grizzlies for awhile. Eighteen game losing streak...pffft... I'm in total shock we're within one game of them. Lets see what happens against the Bulls like you said. Looking at their games some seem winnable and other teams they face are just average. I looked at the suns schedule and holy cow we face monsters..we play Golden State three times...@Utah @Cleveland@Houston Boston ... that's half our remaining schedule playing killers.

Grizz might have to keep looking over their shoulders...just sayin'

I like the 3 matchups with Golden State. That helps us out because even if they're missing one of their big 4, they're still better than we are. Those 3 can almost be pencilled in as losses already. Wish we could fast forward to the end of the season though because i don't want to see them get embarrassed against the Warriors.

If we can't catch Memphis that's ok but we can't let anyone else overtake us if we can't catch Memphis. So long as we finish in the bottom 3 we should be fine come the lottery. That would mean the farthest we could possibly fall would be to #6. If we fell that far I think we could get someone ahead of us to bit eon a trade using the Miami pick, Milwaukee pick, Chriss, and/or the future Miami pick to move up into the top 3, although it may just be to #3. I've been watching Bagley highlights on Youtube and am liking the idea of taking him now. Of course that would displace Chriss and Bender if they're retained but that's their own fault. If a rookie PF can take the starting job from them while they're entering their 3rd year they have no one to blame but themselves.
