Pick Watch 2018

Ugh 5 games against tank competitors. Today was an important loss. And weird to have three against the warriors in the last 12 games o hope they don’t rest anyone against us.

They probably won't sit anyone. They are in a very tight race with Houston for home court.

5 games? I thought it was just the 3. Who are the other 2? Or are you mentioning the Grizzlies and Hawks?

 

[pokerface]

Only the Grizzlies have been worse than the Suns over the last ten games going 0-10 while the Suns go 1-9.

The Suns have 17 games left to play.

And it's going to feel like 82.

Oops. I double counted magic and Dallas as he also mentioned where those games were. Okay, 3 games makes me feel a bit better.

Embrace it. Not much else going on until the draft unless you like the playoffs.

The draft, trades and free agency will be fun.

I want the Suns to be competing for the playoffs next season.

Kerr is a Pop disciple so it wouldn’t surprise me if they care more about their guys being fresh than home court by that point of the season.

Pop always favored rest over best, knowing he could always win a road game or two if Necessary... especially against a no-D’Antoni team. I suspect Kerr feels the same.

All of Green, Curry and Thompson have played nearly every game the last few years. All 3 of those years they were pretty comfortably ahead for home court by the end of the season. Nobody plays more than about 34 minutes in that team so resting players for a whole game isn’t all that necessary.

The season always ends crazy... bad teams winning... good teams losing.

Kings win

Nets almost won..darn it

I'd be happier with the Kings win if the Knicks did not appear so intent on losing. They are 1-9 in the last 10 games... worse than the Kings who are 3-7.

Has anyone told the Nets they do not own the rights to their draft pick.

Ahh the Knicks have been in the back of my mind since Porzingis went down and they started tanking but they have five more wins. We have bigger fish to fry right now.

The Nets.. grrr. I want to lock them up with Dallas and make them play it out the rest of the season...dem bums!

That we went .500 with Memphis and Atlanta is outstanding

I'm counting on the Nets to start winning but I'm losing confidence. Hopefully when other teams start resting their players they will start winning.

Perhaps it starts when they return home from their five game road trip. They have GS and Charlotte left to play on the trip. Their schedule is not as easy as I would like.

The Pacers beat the Bucks tonight.

 

[JCSunsfan]

PUts the Bucks at 15 on tankatho—actually tied with Miami. 15 and 16 is probably where they will end up being.

 

[Hoop Head]

Consecutive picks might be easier to trade because they'll be on the clock longer and be able to listen to more last minute offers.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Mavs win.

Heat lose.

Good times!

 

[JCSunsfan]

We just need the Clips to win

I doubt Detroit catch the heat

Agreed. I'm more concerned about the Heat catching the Wizards, the 76ers, and the Pacers, which is why the Wizards beating them is a good thing. The bigger follow is whether or not the Bucks pick conveys, so I guess that's one reason to actually root for the Heat, but not against the Wizards.

 

[Hoop Head]

Today Memphis plays Chicago, Milwaukee vs the Rockets, Magic vs the Lakers, and Pelicans vs the Kings. Glad that either Memphis or Chicago will get a win, Memphis has lost 14 straight and ideally they would win but either one will help. Hopefully the Magic can beat the Lakers and the Rockets beat the Bucks also. The Kings beating the Pelicans is unlikely.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Yep. It is beginning to look like 15 and 16 with those two picks is best case scenario. In that case we want Milwaukee to lose and Miami to win. Miami provides a buffer to keep Milwaukee from dropping out of the top 16.

One name to keep an eye on for the Suns if they do keep their Miami and possibly Milwaukee picks: Kentucky guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

 

[GatorAZ]

Is landing Doncic and Carter a possibility if McD can get creative?

He's a guard from Kentucky, of course McD will try to draft him.
