That's exactly right. Griffin, not the playoffs, gives them their best hope goin forward.
They are losing.
2007 Suns: Eyes on the Prize.
2009 Suns: Eyes on Blake Griffin.
Times change quickly.
I've tried to convince myself otherwise but Sarver has proven more and more that he's the next Donald Sterling. Not just the roster, but he's been incredibly cheap with the front office personnel, coaching staff, and has scrapped together every excuse possible to raise ticket prices.
Well, I guess I meant "lowest IQ among guys that actually have basketball-related talent." No one can doubt that Amare and Blake have raw physical abilities and have been known to dominate games, but serious questions linger in my mind regarding Robin Lopez, not limited to: has he ever been taught how to play basketball? Did he get a college scholarship and then drafted simply because he has huge hair and the Sideshow Bob/Anderson Varejao comparisons hypnotised scouts? Can he speak English?
Richardson is just an alcoholic, so he's probably been drunk whenever the coaching staff instructs the team NOT to LEAVE ROGER MASON Wide OPEN!!!
I think being a goofy and have a twin brother who even though he is good, is also a goofy , got him some attention he didn't deserve. Let's put it this way, if he had normal hair, played next to Brook Johnson at Stanford, and still averaged only 10 points and 5 rebounds, no in way he goes 15th overall.
Idk how Kerr couldn't envision benchwarmer when he saw that useless playing at Stanford.
He is cheap with the front office personnel, I know for a fact, the minute any one of them gets a good offer somewhere else they will go. David Griff has his guys that he will take with him, so does Steve Kerr and etc.
Tank mode is in full effect, you have nothing to worry about DUNCANownsKOBE
You guys need to drop this delusion that we're going to make a solid draft pick this summer. Have you forgotten who runs this team?
self destruction is imminent
They showed some great dedication. Eyes on the prize, and when I say prize I mean the cash considerations Sarver gets for a top ten pick.
What are the chances of Phoenix getting within a Top 10 pick?
Depends......if they are really dedicated to the tankage and go on an 18 game losing streak to polish off this cluster of a season, then a top 10 pick is guaranteed.
if they try to go on some stupid playoff push for no reason, then they are only extending what is already a long time period between now and the next time they contend.
They all but clinched a ping pong ball presence in the lottery this summer.....this is the most exciting since 2007 when they actually had a chance to win.
Cheering for the Suns to win games this year has been miserable, cheering for them to lose from here on out might prove to be more pleasant and fulfilling.
GO CAVS!!!
Show us the tenacious D on Mo Williams Steve!!! Let his overrated ass drop 50!!!
Sad days in the desert.
It's not over for Phoenix yet though.
At least that's what Hollinger tells me.
I'm tired of hearing people say that.
Especially when it's a really dumb person.
According to Hollinger, the Suns are still in the playoff race...

Suns In Position For Playoff Push
By John Hollinger | ESPN.com
Phoenix's loss to Dallas Tuesday night was a killer, cutting the Suns' Playoff Odds nearly in half. On the other hand, some may wonder how the Suns' odds can stand at 28.8 percent despite being five games down for the eighth spot in the West with only 18 left to play. So I'll remind you once again that after Wednesday's game against Cleveland, the Suns' schedule is cake-ola the rest of the way.
Clearly, the Suns would have to win the rematch in Dallas on April 5 -- which could cut the margin to a still-daunting four games. But if they do that, they project to go 11-6 in the other 17 games, while the Mavs' projected record is 8-9. That makes up three of the four games; even a one-game deviation from this projection would put Phoenix in the playoffs, as they'll almost certainly own the conference record tiebreaker.
Phoenix also maintains a sliver of a chance of passing Portland or Denver, though both teams would have to collapse for that to happen. Again, tiebreaks would be key -- the Suns have one game left against each team, and in each case would gain both a game and the tiebreaker edge with a win.
The only reason for the suns to make the playoffs is to get more ticket sales for this season at the expense of costing themselves a decent pick in the lottery. (granted a weak lottery) Then again look at what Kerr did with two decent picks last season. He produced a cool video and that was it...
Im guessing when they open the first envelope, because we all know the Suns will get the worst of the lottery, cash will fall out and save them the time and effort of selling their pick.
Shaq looked uninterested this game. That and Nash refuses to pass him the ball. Shaq is on summer mode now.
I was reading Paul Coros blog on the Suns and read some quotes where he is basically calling out Shaq and then watching this game it is clear to me that Nash is freezing the Diesel out.
All Nash has done this year is about the system, about the personel moves, about the coach and now he is ing about Shaq.
Sure Shaq gets on peoples s (Bryant, Kobe) but a god damn loser like Nash who has never even sniffed the finals should not be getting on a three time NBA Finals MVP on how to win.
Your hate for Nash is funny. The comments Nash made on Coro's blog aren't critical of Shaq at all. And Nash is the only player on the Suns who cares about getting the ball to Shaq. Your jumping to false conclusions simply to pile on Nash.
I disagree I dont hate Nash. My favorite non Laker team to watch in the past decade was the Nash/Dirk/Nellie Mavs. Eventhough you knew that team played no D and was bound for failure I still enjoyed watching them.
I stand by my comment that Nash is freezing out the Diesel and that those barbs are directed at him (to be fair the man up comments from Shaq are directed at Nash too) but what do I know.
Nash is a in .
I think Nash is sexy
NO
Seriously though, I want to bust a nut in his face
NO
