Currently PHX is 3 games behind Dallas They play each other tommorow in Dallas which will be a critical game. After that Dallas has: Utah New orleans @New Orleans Minnesota Houston Suns will have: @New orleans @Memphis @Minnesota Memphis Golden State If the suns can win out or only drop 1 game to new orleans maybe, I think they might have a chance to slip past the mavs. GO SUNS
Utah's not completely out of the woods yet either. They just lost one of their few remaining gimme games last night.
A friend of mine is a Suns fan and he says he feels his team is going to make it to the playoffs and I know him well, he is really good with predictions so it might happens.
As nice as it would be to see Mavericks fans suffer the embarrassment of not making the playoffs, I think I would rather have that team swept in the first round by LA than getting a lottery pick.
I hope they're done. I'm pretty sure my girl and I were on TV during the Rockets/Suns game here in Phoenix yelling to the camera that the Rockets were going to the playoffs. I was drinking and embarrassed myself either way, but hopefully, I was correct in my postseason outlook.
Ha Ha I knew that, but I just assumed that the Suns were NOT going. I swear I was one of five Rockets fans in the US Airways Center. I haven't had so many stink eyes directed toward me since I used to live in Denver. Oh well. I'd rather be a Rockets fan any day of the week than any other team in the NBA.
I think the Lakers would be more worried about the Suns than Mavs and personally I would love to see Suns - Lakers first round. Everyone knows Kobe wants to prove he can win a championship without Shaq, wouldn't it be funny if Shaq knocked them out. We saw how much the Lakers struggled with Yao at times... Shaq would be the same deal.
The suns are done. If they could have mustered 5 wins in a row, they would have done it by now. I wish it could be Utah missing the playoffs, but meh.... shaq is a tool.
I don't think the Lakers are worried about either team. Either the Mavs or Suns would be lucky to win one game. Neither team has nearly enough talent to compete with them nor do they have the defense it takes to knock the Lakers out of their rhythm. IMO, if the Lakers could choose between the two, they would take the Suns because of the (semi)rivalry. Beating them down would be more satisfying.
i can't quite see phoenix making it either, but it would be nice to see shaq in the playoffs, can't recall if he ever missed it.
If they dont beat the Mavs, the Suns are pretty much out. Loss puts them 4 games out with 5 left to play. If the Suns do win and make the playoffs, it'll be one of the worst regular season chokes along with having maybe the worst playoff choke ever Go Suns?
Go Suns! I live in LA so watching Suns/Lakers would definitely be more exciting than Dallas|Utah/Lakers
What are the odds of utah choking out Everyday I dread the fact that we might get them first round, again
I believe shaq has only missed the playoffs once his ENTIRE career, and that was his rookie year. pretty amazing if you ask me. I hope the suns do make it to the playoffs. Lakers/Suns sound alot better than Lakers/Mavs.
I'm sure Kobe wants to face the Suns after Shaq's 'how does my ******* taste?' comments. After the Lakers win it should definetley shut Shaq up for good...actually, no it probably woudldn't
