He needed to win last night game to clinch and that's what happened. They not playing their starters on a meaningless b2b.

Suns are planning on sitting their four core stars – Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton – vs. Lakers

They got no reason to play

I was baffled to see the Suns play full minutes last night tbh

Sac ain’t playing tonight either

We are just going to have to win play in games

We deserve that fate after that shitty Lakers loss early in the year and the recent Rockets loss

Yeah if this is the case, we are play in bound IMO


We’re going to be relying on the Clips to lose to the Blazers ( ) or the B team Suns, neither of those are going to happen.

I'll give them a shot at playing. After the game last night Durant said we are trying to get minutes together and they don't have many. If I'm a Suns fan, I'd want them to play. They'd get a game in vs a play-off/play-in team and get some chemistry. AD and Lebron are listed as questionable as well but you know they'll play. But this is a b2b and they looked drained at the end of the Clips game.

They've been injury riddled all season. There's no way they're going to risk injury on a b2b. If they want to play another game together, there's the clippers game for that.

Looks like the Mavs are calling it quits.

They're sitting Irving, Wood, Hardaway, and Kleber tonight. Interesting that Doncic isn't on that list.

Milwaukee is sitting jrue giannis Middleton and grayson Allen.

memphis bigs out:
aldama new, elbow
Adams. 2 months now. stem cell now.
Clarke Achilles.season

I express gratitude for bucks trying to make it a game.

memphis needs to win 1 of 2 to clinch 2nd.

the crowing by morant early has become Marlon Brando "I coulda been a contenda".

we are about to see if coaching matters. no depth inside now. Davis will eat their lunch.

Dallas is in a horrible spot right now, because their pick this year is top-ten protected, and they are currently tied with Bulls for the tenth worst record, meaning that they'd have a coin flip to see if they get a pick this season.

It's messed up, but they are prioritizing their pick over the play-in.

And according to Lukas interview, as long as there is still a chance to get in, he's going to play. So they might actually have tried to sit him and he's not going for it.

We are screwed due to everyone sitting players. We have to win at Minnesota to not end up in ghe 9/10 game.

I see the Pels playing an elimination 8/9 game either in NOLA or Minnesota for the 8th seed.

Worst case scenario is Pels end up in a 7/9 game playing in LA playing the Lakers. I doubt the refs would let the Lakers lose a 7/8 game, but that would be really bad for the Pels.

Yeah... looks like Sunday's game will determine which of the Pelicans and Timberwolves will have to win just 1 game to make the main field and which team will have to win 2 games to get in

You'd normally bet on the home team in that situation, but it's a back-to-back for the T-Wolves, as they play in San Antonio tomorrow.

If Minny loses tomorrow against the Spurs, do we at least clinch the 8th spot over them before our head to head matchup on Sunday?

Is there a possibility we can/should rest some starters on Sunday if we can’t move up or down?

Yes... that would be their 41st loss on the season... we would be guaranteed to finish ahead of them prior to Sunday's game

That game is actually in Austin, Texas... not San Antonio

And it's interesting that our game Sunday is at 2:30 considering the T-Wolves have to fly from Texas

Definitely advantage Pels

If nothing else... at least maybe the Spurs can force that game into OT and push that flight back as long as possible
