If Barnes and Hill hadn't turned that ball over in Utah...

if suns did not fire porter, the spirit of Latrell Sprewell would have possessed the players.

If I looked like Brad Pitt I'd get a lot of pussy.



The teams with good late game decision makers win the close games. Gentry thought it would be smart to have Matt Barnes, who is basically the human version of the Clippers, in during crunch time, and he pulled a Barnes and did something dumb. Non-playoff teams find ways to lose games. The Suns have found ways to lose several close games this year.

I miss Phoenix.

That's one of the dumbest things you've ever posted Ducks. I'm not a huge Gentry lover or run and gun fan either so that's not why I think so.

The players completely hated Porter, regardless of the fact I lost a lot of respect for some of the players for not giving Porter a chance and hating him for illegitimate reasons, the players had completely quit on him. In January they went 7-8, the first time since the 2003-2004 season the Suns went below .500 in a month.

Yeah, if only they kept Porter in moron.

If Phoenix wins that game, perhaps Utah has more desperation to win those games against Minnesota and/or Golden State and they just earn that playoff spot later.

Yeah, but you could also say that the Suns might have won against Sacramento and/or Memphis.

Man, you just depressed the out of me with this topic.

Missing the playoffs & being even further exposed as a defensive joke this year is a good thing imo. The excuses for SSOL and retooling instead of rebuilding are running out.

For sure. Too bad Kerr originally had the balls to overhaul the team but now the pressure from the Nash lovers turned him into a pussy who wants to extend Nash and bring SSOL back.

...the Suns would be in the playoffs.

Utah 48-34

Phoenix 46-36

If the Suns had held on in Utah, in that game that they had won...it would be:

Utah 47-35

Phoenix 47-35

Suns would have won the season series 3-1 and had the tiebreaker, and would be in the playoffs.

Painful.

Why would the Suns go to the playoffs?

What for?

[sook]

why would you want the 8 seed over the lottery??!?!? Thats dumb.
