Oh and they would have to win the head to head or else they'd have to go 15-0 if the Mavs went 10-5.
Let's just look at it this way... if the Mavs go 10-5 (certainly realistic) the Suns would have to go 14-1.
Or 9-6, 13-2 for the Suns.
Or 8-7, 12-3 for the Suns
And if the Mavs somehow go 11-4, the Suns would have to go 15-0.
Yeah... don't think the Suns have the firepower or defense here. There's ONLY 15 games left in the season ya know.

Like I said Mavs more than likely taking the last spot but until we beat them on april 5th and take the season series, im not sitting comfortabley
This team has failed the Mavs fans so many times that you cant be in a secure state until that playoff spot is clinched
I am
Although getting an 8th seed would be depressing. I hope the Mavs can get on a roll here and hit some lucky jump shots.
The hope is the Jazz lose alot of there tough games and Mavs can go 12-3 11-4, grab the 7th seed and take our chances with the Spurs
Hollinger wont get off the Suns sack....

another Mavs loss, the 8th seed is getting closer for the Suns
I wouldn't count on it. The Suns are gonna struggle to score points with LB and Amare out.
The sad reality is that the Mavs could easily lose 9 of their remaining games. I know some Suns fans would rather not get their hopes up, but the Mavs are gonna make it hard for them not to.
It would just be like the Mavs to have everyone thinking they secured a playoff spot only to choke the remaining games away.
On the plus side, a Shaq-Kobe first round would be infinitely more entertaining than a quick sweep of the Mavs.
We're a good home team and every West team is mediocre on the road. I wouldnt go that far..
That's why I'm not that sad to see the Mavs beginning to choke away their spot. Spare me the extra 4 games of disappointment and let me watch the fake friendliness between Kobe and Shaq quickly fade.
Suns should have a comfortable win against the wizards tonight. I think Suns can make the playoffs. I really hope they do. *crosses fingers*
no matter who the Suns draft, they arent going to win unless they change their whole philosophy. it requires playing defense. they are going to need a complete overhaul.
BUT if your going to tank now, may as well make it fun as . how bout commiting to a '3 seconds or less' strategy. and start running wierd ass plays that might work. start doing experimental, funny
I agree, I'd love to see a "punch Robin Lopez" strategy, where they forfeit the game and then let all the season ticket holders lineup and punch Robin Lopez in the face for stealing their money. Sounds a bit harsh for useless Lopez, but he's getting paid nearly 2mil to do absolutely nothing.
And as long as they draft Ty Evans, I don't care what else they do.
You should change your mantra from 'Robin Lopez Sucks' to 'Steve Kerr's decision making sucks'.
No, Lopez sucks. I'm sticking to that.
Huge game for the Suns tonight against Denver to keep hope alive in the valley of the sun
This is the kind of effort we've been missing:

Kings are a great team...not surprised by the L
Quit trying to minimize the effort this team made tonight......hater.
You're laughing, if they made this kind of effort against the class of the draft lottery (Kings, Thunder, Wizards, Clips) all season, they'd have Blake Griffin in the bag.
