Our most likely 1st round foes are looking like the Clippers or the Wolves.

Yuck.

I think we'd beat the Wolves in 4 or 5, but Patrick Beverly will be out there, every game, trying to hurt people. I do not think that is an exaggeration, as soon as he realizes that his team has no hope, he will be diving at dude's knees and taking wild attacks at anyone in the air. He is scum.

The Clippers are scary. I think we will beat them, but it will be a war, a series that will go 6 and be close throughout. They're deep, well coached, and good at going really small, which has been a struggle for us.

I'd much rather get the Mavs or Nuggets than either of those teams.

Or the Pelicans or Spurs, but I don't think those 2 will survive the play in.

No easy match-ups although I would prefer to play the Spurs if they make it through the play-in.

IMO Wolves would be an easy series, most likely a sweep, but the clippers will be a knock down dragout battle.

I don't think they are a remotely similar matchup for the Suns.

The Suns first playoff game may be on Sunday April 17th. The schedule below is a bit easier on my eyes.

The Ringer has Monty winning Coach of the year and ranks Suns players in regard to awards.

I'm wondering if this rule effects the Suns converting a two-way contract into a standard contract. It sounds like it does.

The Suns would have to waive a player to clear a roster spot.

I feel bad for both guys. I hate that they had to get waived.

I'm not finding this on twitter yet. Do you have a link? I checked under Shams Charania.

It looks like a fake account.

Oh man. I just looked again. Could be a faker. I was picking up one of my kids from school and just saw this real quick. If it’s fake, my bad peeps.

It didn't make sense because Dario Saric is under contract for another season.

Perhaps you might want to take it down.

I'm not sure if this means anything.
