After tonights game the team is 11-9 and played all the teams we have to go through the West in the playoffs. This team is only 2 games away from .500 basketball. I know this is one possible worst case scenario but what if this happens......

Utah - Loss (11-10)
Milwaukee - win (12-10)
La Lakers - Loss (12-11)
Orlando - Loss (12-12)

Then going into the Knicks game we could be at .500 basketball. Then for icing on the cake we lose to the Knicks?!?!?!?!?

OMG....I think people will be doing the "wall street jump" off the proverbial Suns ivory tower.

I realize this is pure speculation but OMG not only is this feasible but if this comes to pass.........things might just implode for the Suns.

Predictions anyone?
This is HIGHLY likely...

They're way past the edge already. Years of mismanagement and shortsightedness have caught up to them, in a big way. The franchise is in severe decline, and there is literally nothing to look forward to. We're headed for a dark period comparable to the aftermath of the drug scandal more than 20 years ago.
:thumbup: very well said

I really like this board because people rarely get personal when discussing topics like some other boards.

Sadly this is so true. But after the drug scandal there was JC forming an ownership group to keep the Suns in the valley. I wonder if JC would be willing to stick his neck out again to save the Suns. It's doubtful but one can only hope. Sarver already said sometime back he is not in it for the long haul. If the losing continues it will get pretty nasty for foam finger to watch the games. I think this will end Sarver's frolic with the Suns.

The history lesson to be learned, this is why JC turned the Suns into a running team over 20 years ago. He was honest with the fans and said if he could not put a winning product on the floor he could at least put an exciting product on the floor. It seems the Suns may go full circle again. The Suns may not have the talent to compete in the playoffs for many years to come if things continue south. I was so hoping the Suns could pospone rebuilding until 2010 but it appears this may not be the outcome.
