    yes I’ve been horrified by all the winning lately, but this is when the schedule will really strangle them. If Davis comes back I could see the Suns dropping below the Mavs and I still think Portland keeps winning.

    Today's key matchups are fun

    We want

    ORL over WASH
    HOU over MIA
    DAL over DET
    POR over DEN
    CLE over PHX

    As a bonus, LAX beating MEM for top 4 seeding purposes

    I definitely want that - but Dallas over Detroit and Portland over Denver sure seem unlikely. How many prayers and hail mary's do I need to do to make this happen?

    I can get Jokic not to show up, but I'm still trying to get Murray to disappear from the game, so no promises on him.

    I'm generally in favor of just using the picks. If they get a more attractive deal for future picks or a star player, that's great but I wouldn't be moving the pick off for a role player just because it's at the bottom of the lotto.

    There have been very good players selected deeper in the 1st rd. JDub was picked 12th, Sengun 16th, Halliburton was 12th, Maxey was 21st.

    There's a chance a future star is there at the Suns' pick.

    The rockets don't have to "go for it" and stop looking to the future. Shai is in his 7th season and the thunder only really just started making win now moves this season.

    Dallas wins. Now we just need a Suns loss (and hopefully a Portland win).

    You might not need any?
    DAL took care of business and Dr of Dunk says he has sorted out Denver losing, so all good.

    They don't want to see us in the finals. I'll tell you that.

    The Mavs kept pace with the Suns, and the Blazers are right behind them. We've got a race for the 10th seed.

    Nah. Those Nets would have been even worse if we kept them.

    The Cavs suck.

    Update: Sun is about to go on a 9 games winning streak

    I can't believe we got everything we could have wanted except for a Suns loss.

    Why is everyone freaking out? I don’t get it. No matter what, we’re jumping up a bunch of spots. The idea of jumping into the top 3 from like 13 was always a bit of a pipe dream.

    So close. And, of course we didn't get the one that was the most important.
