Incredibly, there are now 5 teams with 41 losses.
Pistons....Cavs....Wiz....Hornets (Pelicans)....& Suns.
Probably not possible to catch the Magic & their teenage frontcourt nor the Bobcats who would be a bubble team in the NCAA Tourney.
3rd place in the Lottery is definitely attainable though.
Just about kiss the lakers pick goodbye....they keep winning last second games while the jazz are collapsing.
Yeah DBreezy, Dudley is slowly becoming invisible....he doesn't fit on this team...as Bill Simmons wrote in an article last week, Dudley is destined to someday be the 7th man on a championship caliber team....it just won't be the Suns.
Kings are favored by 7 1/2 tonight.....unbelievable
Hey sammi....lawson been tearin it up for denver....really wanted the suns to draft him
Only 4 NBA teams have a negative point differential of more than -3.5
Those 4 teams are so bad that they are all -5.6 or worse.
Charlotte....- 10.5
Sacramento..- 6.4
Orlando........- 5.9
Suns.............- 5.6
Shannon Brown ?.....Yeah, I think I remember him.....used to play for the Suns.
On the bright side....the Wizards victory over the Raptors tonight means the Suns now stand alone in 3rd place in the Draft Lotto.
Maybe Nerlens Noel is possible.
Only two teams in the league have more losses than the Suns.
Orlando 40.....Charlotte 42.......Suns 38
4 teams have 37 losses....more exciting than the playoff race....lakers keep winning but so do the Rockets.
Suns look like a collection of misfits, malcontents & D-Leaguers.
We need the Hubbel Telescope to see the Light at the end of the tunnel.
Who's your HaDaddi ?
Suns are doing better than I thought they would do.....a month ago I said Suns would be 20 games under .500 after Feb. 20th.......well, they're only 19 games under .500.
Suns will probably trade J. O'Neal (who's playing better than Gortat) for a future 2nd round pick which Suns will use to draft the Wear twins (UCLA).
Morris twins will be packaged for a future 2nd round pick.
Suns will then use that pick to draft the Wear twins.
Can we trade Gortat back to Poland for Joanna Krupa (born in Warsaw) ?
Oh man, she is Hot....it'll make losing much easier to take.
@ DBreezy & Ty-Sun
Speaking of Hedo Turkoglu.....he just received a 20 game suspension for steroid use.
Nice wins last night by Houston over the Warriors & by Utah over OKC.
Nerlens Noel hurt his knee last night & it doesn't look good....eyewitness Patric Young (Florida) said "it was gruesome".
and of course the Cavs lose to the TWolves last night....
Nice loss by the lakers to Miami but a horrible loss by Houston to the Kings...Rox still maintain 3 1/2 game lead over the lakers in race for ther 8th playoff spot & Suns extra Lottery pick.
Meanwhile, if the Cavs beat Minnesota tonight, the Suns will be tied for the 4th spot in the Lottery Lotto.
A top 4 spot guarantees the Suns Noel (Kentucky), Muhammad (ucla), Mclemore (Kansas) or Bennett (UNLV).
Trade Babby, Blanks & a 2nd rounder for Shumpert.
@ DBreezy....Yes, I still think the Bobcats will go Noel # 1.....Shabazz is a possibility but there are holes in his game & did you see the hissy fit he threw after not getting the last shot vs Stanford ?
Drew makes the game winning buzzer-beater bucket & Shabazz ignores the celebration....I just can't see Mclemore going #1 ...but ya never know with the not so cerebral M Jordan.
I do understand your point though, it will take the patience of Job to allow Biyombo & Noel to develop offensively at the NBA level but Noel's defensive skills trump any other player in the college ranks.
Maybe this is the year the #1 pick can be pried away via trade....there is no "mortal lock" for the #1 pick as in previous years & the pressure to win now could affect Jordan's decision.
@ BoomShakaLuka....no chance we get Noel in the draft...Bobcats have him virtually locked up....however, that trade you mentioned could be tweaked....Gortat, Morris, Marshall & Suns 1st overall (# 5 maybe) to "Cats for Diop's expiring & Bobcats #1 overall....although knowing the Suns FO, there is about as much chance of that happening as me getting a job.
@Silmarillon from previous post....I'd say right now it's 60-40 that lakers make the playoffs...Rox are playing good ball but have 9 of next 12 on the road....could come down to last game of the year...Rockets at Lakers...April 17th.
@ forever...re: Miami Hurricanes center....you may be referencing Reggie Johnson (6'10" 290 lb) who is good but to me the most intriguing prospect on the 'Canes roster is Kenny Kadji...he is a legit 6'11" with the best 3pt stroke of any Big Man (6'10" & above) at the collegiate level...started his career at Florida & is 24 yrs old & will be 25 on Draft Day...as good a 3pt shooter as Frye but with better athleticism & toughness & could be had at the bottom of the 1st round or top of the 2nd.....Kadji is strictly a stretch PF however....not a Center.
@ Forever.....Suns used to have a PG similar to K Marshall....Don Buse.
Buse rarely made a turnover, but like Marshall he stayed out by the top of the key & rarely penetrated.....Marshall still has a ways to go before he can match Buse's overall game though.
As for Elijah Johnson (Kansas PG) he is more of a combo guard than a strict PG....he has not shown the innate ability to run a team but this is his 1st year as a PG & he does possess NBA athletic ability.
The long & the short of it....Johnson should be a 2nd round pick & go to the D-League to develop his PG skills.
ps.....Great Loss by the lakers tonight.
