Phoenix Suns watch

I don’t understand why Tony Jones says the Suns game against GSW doesn’t matter. I get that we control our destiny, but that doesn’t mean the Suns games don’t matter.

If he had said “the Suns game doesn’t matter if the Jazz win out” or it “shouldn’t matter” that’s right and a different story. It may well matter though to the final standings, because the Jazz may not win out.

I love Tony, don’t get me wrong.

It matters. A Suns loss is no different than a Jazz win at this point.

I agree... the tone of what Tony is conveying is the correct way to view things though... take care of your bizness then it doesn't matter. Basically if we win against Porty the other games should be easy wins... and we are gold.

Phoenix could very well win out. GS and Portland have motivation to win but GS might be gassed after last night. San Antonio has no reason to really try that hard.

At the game last night Mike did an extended warm up. I think he is likely close to coming back. He looked pretty good. If he wasn't close I'm not sure why he's traveling with the team.
 
We tired out GS so they will probably have some heavy legs against Phoenix. Unfortunately we'll probably do the same to Portland before their game with the Suns.

Right. Which is why we need to take care of our own bizness. I think there is a 50/50 shot that Phoenix wins out. They did look gassed versus Cleveland, Atlanta, and LA so they are capable of giving us a gift.
 
538 seems to think the Suns will pick up another loss somewhere, but those are just loose predictions. I wonder why the Jazz aren't bringing Conley back. I suppose there's still a chance that the Clippers could drop to the 4th seed and the Jazz would prefer to be the 2nd seed. The Jazz could also be sitting back and seeing what the Lakers look like.

Lets see what the standings look like after tonight.

A Suns loss could mean we have an extra game where we could rest Gobert, Fave, Bogey, Ingles. I think that's pretty important.
