    @raznomore I agree, think he is a good guy who had a shit moment, and said as much. He'll be sweet.

    Gimme that mistake over a passive guy any day.

    Oh and last night on The Jump, all three panelists selected Book as Bubble MVP over Dame.

    I'm loving this moment in the Sun. Excuse the pun. Excuse the rhyming.

    One more win and a Blazers loss and we could be in the play-offs?

    Suns go 8-0 against a Mavs team resting KP and with Luka only playing 13 mins. Would have been embarrassing had we slipped up in this one.

    The 8-0 record still may not be enough to sneak us into the play offs though.

    great run considering they were there to make up the numbers.

    But if Portland can't beat the Nets...

    @mariner4life I'm not sure how it works. Does a Blazers loss see the Suns make it?

    yes. Memphis winning this morning gets them to the play-in. Suns now need Portland to lose and they are in. Portland win and Suns are out.

    So Portland are basically in a playoff game today

    i believe so yes. I think you need to beat them twice, they need to beat you once.

    Also, take a second to reflect on the fact that, for the first time since the 96/97 season, the Spurs will not be in the post-season

    which means, for the first time that i have been watching the NBA, i don't have a dog in the fight.

    @mariner4life I'm kinda the opposite. I've been back into the NBA for around four years, which probably coincides with Steven Adams being drafted. But being a Suns fan I've had fuck all to cheer about until we made this run. We still may not make it, but at least it's kept the season interesting until late, bearing in mind that we also had a good start to the season and were never right out of it.

    I turned off the NBA from the mid to late 90s until around four years ago so missed the Nash years. I went from watching a really good Suns team in the early to mid 90s to watching dross until this season.

    Hopefully bigger and better things to come for Phoenix next year and on. Book and Ayton are franchise cornerstones and there are some quality pieces around them in Bridges, Oubre Jr, Rubio etc.

    Heck of a run from the Suns. Not sure how much you can read into these bubble games, but momentum and team comraderie go a long way so this will havr been hugely valuable for them.

    Reckon the Lakers would much rather have faced them that Portland though, assuming they get through.

    Watching Portland vs Brooklyn now, expect the Blazers will win but the Nets aren't making it easy. Neither side is playing any defence though.

    I've watched a bit of the bubble, and I have no idea who wins it all. The only team that is firing on all cylinders is Phoenix.

    Now you'd assume a few teams are playing at 70% until they get to the play-offs (Lakers, Clippers, Bucks) but it honestly wouldn't shock me to see the Rockets, Nuggets or Celtics come out of the East/West. It could be a complete crapshoot.

    I'm still backing the Lakers cos Lebron/Davis is the best combo in the league, but I have no confidence they can deliver.

    pretty much everyone just seems to be assuming LBJ can just flick that switch again like he always does. The covid break and half-assed last few games should have him pretty fresh. It's just if at his age he can still just throw the switch.

    If he can, they win surely.

    Nets are up four with three minutes to play in the first bubble game with actual stakes. The non-Lilliard Blazers are launching brick after brick. Would be a bit of a choke job if they can't win it.

    I would have loved a Blazers/Suns play-in, but you have to credit Memphis for the overall season they had. Expect Portland will win the first game but hope the Grizz give them a run.
