    I mean, he should.. these refs are freaking garbage, that’s an embarrassment. On our end, back to the 10th spot with this win, 36-37 to the Jazz’s 35-37.

    Can't believe the Twolves won on some BS free throws.

    At least JAZZ lost.

    And we won.

    What's crazy is that the Suns actually have a tough schedule to close the season - they could tumble down the standings very easily.

    Clippers can also fall down the standings if the PG13 injury really affects them.

    Anything can happen...the west is soooo wild

    Why
    Why didn’t the Lakers do this when we were completely jobbed out of those three games by awful calls???
    I will most likely never type this again: Good on Cuban.

    I agree, but it’s the least you can do.
    Some of these games are straight Donaghy Level of asinine.

    Just gotta keep our nose to the grindstone and get as many wins as possible these last nine games. Obvious, I know. I feel like we can at least get the playin but there's a lot of possibilities open right now.

    You're right , would be fun to see the Suns out of the TOP 10 , it's unlikely to happen because the teams ranked behind them in the standings are not good enough to make final runs to make it happen but would be great

    wow phx's schedule is pretty tough. they're going to tank themselves into a favorable matchup instead of the clippers? race to the bottom!

    seriously, nobody in the west wants the 4/5 matchup because it's likely to be 2 of the 3 preseason conference favorites (gs, clips, phx). whomever drops to 6/7 gets a young team that will be under intense pressure as the favorite (and sac's roster has very little playoff experience).

    We took care of business last night and need to continue to do so. We actually have some control over our own fate here.

    Phoenix will either drop down or beat some teams we need to lose. Either way works just fine. They are working for us now...lol.

    This x1000

    Suns are in a very precarious position suddenly. That KD injury realllyyyy screwed them.

    Clippers are in a similar position - they don't have PG for rest of the season basically.

    GS also has a somewhat tough schedule - so they also have their work cut out.

    OKC and Dallas can move up, as can we, as we have the easiest schedules out of all the teams.

    Going to be a WILD WILD finish in the west man...so many possibilities!
