Phoenix Suns watch

Neither LeBron nor Davis are fully healthy. I wouldn't bet on both being 100% by the time the play-in starts.

I wouldn’t, either, but I’d still rather play SA or Memphis. The difference is significant.

I'm suggesting that because they're not 100%, we might end up playing the Spurs or the Grizzlies.

Apparently, both AD and Bron are out tonight.

So if I understand how this play-in things works correctly, we want all the teams to stay as they are right now. Then we want the Warriors to beat the Lakers and take #7. Then we want the Lakers to lose to whomever makes it of Spurs and Grizzlies, so the Jazz then play what is really a lottery team in Rd 1.

Yes that's ideal. But unlikely
I want the Lakers to get the 6th seed and play the clippers in round 1

I think the league wants LA and GSW in the play-in. That may be the highest rated game of the playoffs. If the Lakers drop it, they’d love to sell a “defending champs taking on the first seed upset” series. That’s highly marketable.
 
Bogey has become amazing at finishing drives

What I want now is Blazers holding onto to 5th seed. They control their destiny, Suns game is going to be tough but Denver is likely to rest as they are locked to 4th.

Mavs vs Clips could be fun. Clips path would get a tad harder and if Lakers get the 7th, it would be hella better but I think no rest, high tension games are going to take a toll on them one way or the other.

We look like complete garbage right now. I'm very skeptical about us winning the last 2 at this point.

This. There doesn't seem to be any urgency. And QS hasn't done much to right the ship imo. Right now it's a mess. I hope they think they can flip the switch when the playoffs start because they don't seem too concerned with winning right now.

I also predict a first round ouster.

I'm not sure how much stock should be put into this last week for Utah, and honestly for Phoenix, for that matter.

Utah and Phoenix both clinched playoff spots in April. Just watching the Suns, yeah its easy to say they've worn down, but there was a significant drop in their intensity, even in the Utah game on April 30th that both teams played, compared to when the Suns played the Knicks and Clippers earlier in the week.

Both teams seem to be on cruise control, which for Phoenix, given their nightmare matchup is the Lakers, doesn't seem to make a lot sense. But maybe they are content with the #2, and okay with resting and not revealing too much else for the postseason.

Totally agree. I keep seeing people jump ship after one loss when your top two guys are gone and you’re heavily fatigued because it’s the end of the year and you’re still playing hungry teams. We will get out of round 1 of the playoffs book it.
