    They are playing Chris Paul and a bunch of 3rd stringers.

    Fans in Phoenix must just be jumping up and down with this run they're having. Props to them.

    The reason the Suns are playing well is that they are used to playing with an empty gym.

    Yeah, but do the thunder want to drop to the 6th seed. Denver ain't no joke even though they have the joker.

    They're trying. I'm watching the game and their guys are all playing hard, just outmatched.

    We are in serious danger for falling out of the play-in tournament if we lose tomorrow, these Suns won't go away, the Spurs never die and the last game of the Grizzlys is against Milwaukee, the Bucks gonna play their C-Team. We have to win against Dallas and Brooklyn no matter what

    Yes, the Blazers must use this as motivation to win these last two games.

    The Suns play against the 76ers and last game against Dallas, very likely without Doncic, Porzingis and other starters. They gonna go 8:0

    The good news is that the Nets are in and know who they are playing. They might rest some of their players so we just need to win our game tomorrow. Suns go 8-0 and we go 6-2

    Suns have been building for the future for 10 years. If they don’t make playoffs, the season is an utter failure for them.

    If Suns lose tomorrow and we win, the Suns are eliminated.

    Yeah I've been saying that we need to win out and that we will win out but obviously there are a ton of ways that we make it in without winning out. We are the team that is currently in the 9th spot, so the odds are in our favor that we will make the play-in. As far as the Grizz are concerned, they are not winning a lot right now but I'd love to see them hang on and get that 9th spot.

    We might have 8th locked up before the Brooklyn game. Suns and Spurs are out if they lose tomorrow and we win. Grizz lose both games and we can rest during Brooklyn game.

    Just crazy Suns can lose one game and be eliminated after all they’ve done.
