I hope the Suns aren't stupid enough to win this game.

Watson is not one to take his foot off the pedal. He is coaching for a job.

 

[Phrazbit]

Booker seems to have regained his form, I suspect playing less minutes with Goodwin has a lot to do with it.

Suns have zero business winning these games. Lakers are beating GS 99-81 with 5:00 to go. If Suns want to win the lottery we cant be winning games all of a sudden.

Yea but I don't really care, that's the same excuse for all tread mill teams. If the Suns want to screw themselves out of a top 3 pick in a season like this then they wouldn't care either.

Yea Suns are wasting an opportunity right here.

Watson is playing everyone on his roster who can play. How would you try to lose... sit Booker and/or Len?

 

[TJ]

This is awful

 

[Mainstreet]

The referees are starting to give the Suns some respect, especially Booker.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Lakes win 112-95 over GS.

Yes. Booker's already played 34 minutes, what's the point of wearing him out? To pick up a pointless and meaningless and draft pick hurting win?

What is the message you send him? I'm not rooting for the Suns to win but you have to let them play.

Their not trying to respect the Suns, their trying to screw the Suns to help Phoenix stay in mediocrity.

Yea but do you want him to play 40 mins or something? I don't think even Curry played that much. He played 34 mins, that's enough.

This is an unusual thought.

 

[sunsfan88]

I'd like to see Tucker take all the shots for the Suns for remainder of this game.

 

[sunsfan88]

This is an unusual thought.

We never got any respect when we were actually trying to win years ago.

You're utterly ridiculous.

Well said. Tanking doesn't just mean losing games. Tanking means losing games BY playing your young players a ton of minutes like 30-40 mins a game. Who cares if Booker is in foul trouble, play him til he fouls out. Its not like we're playing game 7 of the NBA finals and we're trying to save Booker to make sure he's able to play the 4th QTR or something. Same with Warren, Len and Goodwin.

 

[slinslin]

That Grizzlies team does not have a lot of talent.

Getting worried about our draft position.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have won three of their last five games. This was a legitimate win by the Suns.

Final: Suns 109- Grizzlies 90

Developing Booker and Len is as important as the draft position. And we aren't catching Lakers anyway.

 

[slinslin]

Len is averaging ~19/13 since the allstar break.

At this rate we will catch Brooklyn however.

We play Denver and New York next, 2 winnable games.

Although it's too early to evaluate, if the Suns could find a head coach in Earl Watson, it would be huge going into next season. The Suns are playing competitive basketball with several injuries.
