Phoenix Suns watch

[framer]

In the playoffs I want nothing to do with Lebron or Curry, and anyone who does hasn’t been paying much attention to basketball the last decade. Unfortunately there is a good chance we will face one of them in the first round.

I understand the Warriors are without Klay and Lebron is not 100%, but the Warriors and Lebron have accounted for seven of the last nine nba champions and basically 99% of nba finals appearances.

I'm not afraid, at all, of a depleted Warriors team if the Jazz are given a week's rest, get their starting guards back, and home court. If the Laker's are sorry enough to lose a play-in game, I'm not sure I would be terrified of them either.

Hell, if we beat Portland, at home, like we should, and can shut this regular season down early (for Rudy's sake) I am not sure I am fearing any first or second round matchup we may face.

Anything can happen in one game. Any team can get hot and beat any team. I would love to see Lakers lose to San Antonio or someone and miss the playoffs.

I predit, jazz vs warriors round 1 or lakers.

I think you still have to play out all three games. They get a week off because of the play in... should be fairly fresh. Even if Suns lose tonight you can’t assume a win against the blazers... OKC and sac are bad but weird things happen and I wouldn’t sit our guys unless we had it wrapped up. I just think in general you should take the attitude of doing your own dirty work.

We have to win against Blazers regardless so we help Lakers get to 6th against Clippers and on the other side of bracket.

I know the play-in week gives us some rest but I would take any rest if things were set in stone. Suns lost and we may not need to play against OKC.

Well I thought so too until Infection pointed out the very real possibility of the Lakers sideswiping Portland or Dallas at the wire for the 6th spot and then the death-star meteor is back in our orbit.

We won't play the Lakers of they finish 6th. We will play the 8 seed.

GSW with the payback game after we got shafted by missed calls the night before.

Never thought I could hate a team and love a team in such a short time period!

we may get =======D on by lebron or curry r1.

So if Jazz can win 2 of last three they are #1 seed even if Suns win last three?

 

[Getting Traded]

We have a two-game lead, so the Suns have to win all three and we have to lose two of three for them to get the number one seed.

 

[Jazzmix]

So if Jazz can win 2 of last three they are #1 seed even if Suns win last three?

Yes. We need two wins or one win and one Suns' loss or we don't even need to win any games if Suns lose twice.

Yep.

I think he was saying both Dallas and Portland dropping, moving the Lakers to the 5th seed and into a potential second round matchup.
