Is Watson on board with the tank?? He's playing the living heck out of Bledsoe!

Watson has the Suns playing hard which is good and bad at the same time especially since he is giving the starters steady minutes.
The Suns players want to win this game and lead 61-56. It has become personal. Maybe the Suns previous loss to the Bucks has created a desire for revenge.

Finally, Tyler Ulis enters the game.

Mgmt might want to lose but the players and coach certainly dont. No player on the Suns wants to be replaced by a top lottery pick. Its McDuhs job to instruct the Love Bug to throw games if he can.

I want the players to play to win and I want the coaches to coach to win but I don't see why the trio of Bledsoe, Booker and Warren already have 87.5 minutes between them at the end of the 3rd. Watson should be focusing solely on development, running them into the ground is unnecessary and shortsighted especially for a fast break team. What's wrong with keeping fresh legs out there?

No one is going to tell the Suns to lose but they can play the younger players more.

That was a nice bounce pass by Ulis to Williams.

Hopefully Williams likes home cooking as his mother is Chief of Police in Phoenix.

TJ Warren is looking like the player he can be.

Wow. Chriss didn't get the memo.
A 1 point game with 45 seconds left. Bucks lead.

I think they need a team meeting... Hopefully they invite a few of us to explain the art of the tank!

The 3 is literally the shot that they needed to stop the Bucks from taking. Force then to take a 2 and this is a 1 possession game...

Something is wrong with the NBA when tanking is rewarded. The Suns are definitely not tanking.

The only solution would be to make the draft order completely random every year

There could be a rotation system where every team gets the first pick in the draft as it comes around. Also, make the first pick untradeable for like a year after the draft so teams do not mortgage their future.

I think they are tanking, but they just look better than other teams that have done similar, like the Sixers. The Suns are playing a good mix of young and not-so young...keeping it competitive and not getting the doors blown off. IMO it's a good way to do it.

The way it is currently set up is just fine. The team with the worst record only has a 25% chance at the 1st pick and actually have a combined better chance at getting 3 or 4 than 1 or 2. Especially in drafts where there is essentially only one player worth tanking for it makes it far less likely that the team that simply tanks the best will get the chance at that player.
