Win out and I think we are in one of the 5th or 6th spots. Can they do it?

It would be so great not to have to be in the play-in tournament. I just think we drop one to Sacramento or Memphis in a close game but it’s absolutely doable since we play 3 of the last 4 at home.

Not sure we beat Minny without Zion on the road. Could be a massive seeding game.

I would be ecstatic with 3-1 and 43-39 record considering we were without BI or Zion for all of like 5 games

Beat Sacramento and you'll likely get Memphis and NYK resting their guys.

We are where we are need to look forward not backward.
Feel like we go 3-1. Hopefully that gets us to 6 or 7 at worst.

I expect ZERO help this point forward.

So im hoping for a 6th seed or 7th seed where we stay home and control our own fate.

Would much rather the 6 seed than the 5 seed.

That Houston game really is showing its ugly head now and the Golden State game we shite the bed in the 4th quarter last week after beating up on them for 3 quarters. With both of those games we are in 6th place right now.

Don’t forget OKC at home and the disgraceful showing against the Lakers at home too…

Could / should be 4th

Take it one game at a time. Focus on beating Sacramento & then let's see where we are.

I look at in a big picture kind of way. This is the NBA. Bad teams can play well in stretches. Orlando beat Boston in consecutive games. Long season. These bad losses will happen.

I think 3-1 gets you the 6th seed.


I think we’ll beat the Grizz and Knicks. Minny and Sac will be tough games. Hopefully we have Z for Minnesota

The one I think hurts the most is the lakers loss early in the year when we were dominating. We had that game, but Dyson choked at the FT line, and then trigga messed up on D.

I presume you think grizzlies are resting stars. if they need to win one to stave off kings for 2nd they can get up for it.

Knicks looks tough to me.
when randle is cooking they can beat anyone. their new Villanova guys transformed them. Brunson has arrived.
Hart is the same noble try hard we knew and loved.
and they have a 7 1 center who plays interior D.



we'll see.

Pels are capable for sure, If they get out of the play-in I'd bet more on the 5th. than 6th. seed. I don't think the Warriors, Lakers, or Clips want anything to do with the Suns in the first round.

Randle will be out and the Knicks will clinch the 5th spot when they play us so there no reason not to rest their core.

Memphis will be on a b2b. And if we beat Sacramento, they'll more than likely rest guys since a 3 game cushion.

Minnesota I predict will be locked into the 9th spot by the time they play us which would be another scenario where they rest their guys. OKC has a tough schedule and they should lose at least 2 more games.
