Suns chances at play in

[cwamjn]

If you are score board watching, grizzlies and raptors at 11. Sixers and blazers at 3:30. The teams behind us are playing as well but we need to win out.

We have a back to back starting Monday against OKC and then Philadelphia before closing out the season against Dallas. I just don't see 8-0. But then again, I certainly didn't see 5-0 either so fingers are crossed.

Go Raptors and Sixers!

Huge day for the Suns

I'm thinking one game at a time. If the Suns keep winning that's all I can ask. I especially dread playing Dallas again.

Do you think a 8-0 is asking too much plus 2-0 in the play-in?

Personally I don't know, I didn't think they'd be undefeated either. They are playing with a huge chip on their shoulder and treating everything like a game 7.

I love it. If they keep this attitude up next year and continue to improve and gel, I think their for sure playoff contenders. I don't even want to get my hopes up on what we could potentially get in the draft.

DBook is heading towards a top 5 player. If Bridges keeps it up I can see an all star appearance.

There was a little dose of sarcasm I put in there because that's a lot to ask of any team no matter how good.

The positive thing, there is a chance no matter how slight and it shows the front office what they need to do to prepare the team for next season.

It's a tall task, and even if we don't make it I love the progress. #whynotus

Not sure. But Ben simmons will be out with surgery.

Whether they get in or not, this has been huge. Great way to finish the season, beat some good teams, and show everyone that they are a real NBA team. This season has been a huge success. Suns are officially not a joke at this point- they are a real NBA team. Booker, Ayton, Oubre, Rubio, Bridges, Baynes, Saric were all legitimate NBA players, but the Suns added Johnson, who is turning into a legitimate NBA player quickly. Payne and Carter look like decent second and third point guards. Now they need to take the next step. They have to keep what they have and add another real NBA player or two in the offseason. What they've done this year has been incredible- multiple injuries, Ayton suspension, and several games lost by just a couple of points, yet they are still fighting for a playoff spot.

Raptors up 6 at half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Something else to think about.

If the Blazers lose to the 6ers right now, the Suns fully control their own playoff destiny.

Not looking good. Philly is sleepwalking through that game thus far...

Yeah, Philly looks like trash. Damnit.

6ers up by 1 at the end of the 3rd

 

[Cheesebeef]

man... if the Sixers had held on here, that would have been ridiculous. But Dame has been super-califragilistic-expeala-ridiculous.

 

[Evil Ash]

And then there were 4. With the trailblazers win the kings and pels were eliminated

Sucks embid got hurt man

That was a painful win by Portland. Dropped out chances from 10% to 6% per FiveThirtyEight.

Another look at the path it would take for the Suns to make the play-in.

Portland will play Dallas and while it hasn't been said if Porzingis and Luka will rest again or not, it appears that won't happen if you see what Rick Carlisle said...

As fun as this has been, it just highlights that the low level teams should have been playing each other to get to the 9 seed.

That's a great idea. It would have been fun.

I guess it was all about most teams getting to 70 games to fulfill television contracts.

I believe anything is more fun in a bracket style event. I also believe at the end here, they should have had a flex style schedule so the games that matter aren't being played at noon.
