    No, I'm saying that simply because you're the 9th seed in the Play-In doesn't mean your lottery position is fixed. As a 9th seed if you win 2 Play-In games, you become the 8th seed in the playoffs. If you make the playoffs, you are no longer in the lottery.

    If the pick lands outside the top 10 I almost certainly want to trade it, if only for a future FRP, but ideally for a shooter.

    Booker finally scored his first points tonight at the tail-end of the 3rd quarter

    What happened to this dude? He just hasn't been that great this season.

    I told y'all the Suns skid would begin with the Celtics blowout. The skepticism was misguided.

    Their schedule gets very tough and the closer to Game 82, the more they think about offseason vacation plans.

    They're within three games of Chicago, Miami, San Antonio right now. Still a chance this lands in the top 10.

    The Suns could easily lose 7 of their last 8.

    Could depend on who all is "resting".

    They could easily knock the Mavs/Kings out of the play-in. I don't think they'll be resting anyone.

    A couple of weeks ago when the Suns came to town, KD played 37 mins but he "rested" while Beale and Booker took all the important shots. He only took12 shots the entire game.

    Calvin Murphy, Gerald Green and Kevin Eschenfelder laughed and joked about it during the postgame show.

    I think DoD was saying Suns opponents could be resting if their seeds are secured and there’s nothing to play for.

    I'm talking about the teams they'll be playing. :D

    Yes, but if OKC doesn't want to see the Suns in the first round, then they may decide to actually play against them that game.

    The one and only thing OKC cares about now is clinching home court over the Cavs.

    Are we the lone win? Phoenix will be gunning for us tonight. We better bring our “A” game.
