But we have played more games than most other teams. They get a chance to "lose the ones we won"...

Exactly. We also have 1 more win that four of them which isn’t a good thing

Suns have a brutal schedule, all these other bottom teams play each other.

After last nights game, for the first time I feel pretty confident we are getting a chance to get one of the potential superstars in this draft... to the point I'm actually more worried we pass on one of them for the guy i dont see superstar in, doncic than I am we dont get a chance at all

Perhaps because they won a championship before the Suns.

It was nice when the Suns had company.
The difference maker for Dallas winning the Championship was the addition of Tyson Chandler, when he was in his prime.

Unfortunately for the Suns, we didn't get him until the twilight of his career -- no back-to-backs.

Tonight's games.

Detroit v Clips. If the Clips win, their record is better than Miami. If Detroit wins, they pull within a half game of Miami. Win-win.
Sixers v Pels. Pretty much the same story.
Cavs v Hawks. Hawks win puts them into a tie with Phoenix record wise.
Bucks v Heat. Wow. Who do you root for. I think its the Bucks now. Their pick likely won't convey, so the best Miami pick possible is best.
Nuggets v Rockets. A Denver loss puts them in a tie with Miami. Definitely want a Denver win even if it is not likely.
Wolves v Bulls. Bulls win is better for the Suns.
Kings v Blazers. Kings win and the Suns move ahead of the Kings in the lottery rankings.

So. Teams we would like to see win tonight. Hawks, Bucks, Nuggets, Bulls, Kings.

Enjoy.

BTW. If you go to the tankathon mock, you can see how important it is to get the #4 lotto seed or better. I think the mock does pretty good at determining each team's draft preference when they run their simulations. At the #4 seed, we are pretty much guaranteed to get either Young or Ayton. They obviously have the Suns preferences as #1 Ayton, #2 Young #3 Doncic.

The Nets need to start winning.

They were humiliated in the 1st half by the Pelicans. Somehow got back to the game, now 2nd overtime is starting. The referees did not whistle two clear fouls after Dinwiddie's penetrations and another one vs. Carroll.

Not looking good at the moment for the Nets but I hope they can pull the game out. The Nets are not going to get any breaks.

They play with heart but lack talent, especially with Hollis-Jefferson and Levert out.

The zero improvement that D'Angelo Russell has shown during his NBA-career is remarkable. He is still the same unathletic, ineffective, shot-happy G with non-existing defense who he was in his rookie season.

I officially gave up the last hope that we will get MIL pick this year (the Bledsoe-trade looks even worse).

Let's focus on Miami and hope that the Sixers and the Pistons will catch them.

Hawks win! Good start to the day.


Mavs, Kings, and Grizz play as well. If one of them won I'd be happy.

It's a good day to be bad!

The Heat play the Raptors, who hopefully take care of them.

If we're really lucky, the Hawks can knock off the Bucks.

But even if those games both go against the Suns, we're guaranteed to be happy because the Mavs and Kings are playing and someone has to win! (I think...)

The Mavericks trail the Kings by 21 points at halftime.

If the score holds true no other team will have less wins than the Suns... 18.
