    The craziest finish that I have seen tonight is the end of the Phoenix - Houston game.
    Houston somehow ends up winning the game in Phoenix by one point, 122-121.

    In the last possession of the game, the Suns had 4 shot attempts, all of which hit the rim, including the one by Devin Booker at the buzzer.

    In their two previous possessions the Suns had made 3-pointers to tie the game.

    Jalen Smith who is a guy I’ve always liked has found himself in the starting lineup and producing well

    Rasta would be provided with some solid fodder for the tank bandwagon if that were the case.

    Actually, yes. It would be quite similar to every other post-game meltdown.

    denver, phoenix, memphis, new orleans & gsw are the teams that will get into the playoffs for sure, la clippers will be a lock too, if paul george & kawhi remain healthy, which is a big if

    portland, dallas, minnesota, la lakers & sacramento will compete for the remaining two spots and the least worse two teams will get in

    But we’re supposed to be scrubby, remember? The suns are the western conference elite

    What’s actually going on with CJ? He’s been bad. I realize a lot of people here are going to want to say that the trade just exposed him for the way he was used as a player (minutes, looks). I want to hear from those of you who feel that… (and others).

    How can you explain his incredibly inefficient offense at times. He’s been fairly consistent in his career. I don’t even know his usage difference/shot difference, but he’s not scoring well.

    Did you go into games expecting CJ to be 0-3; 1-6 from 3?

    His offensive efficiency has to be at a career low at least from when he was starting here in Portland.

    I wish I could watch this game because it seems like he’s not even on the floor in the box score. Has played most of the 2nd quarter and has recorded no assists and only a technical free throw and 2 pointer.
