hahaha the suns
now hawks must make the playoffs!
why's that???
Because the Suns get their draft pick unrestricted next season.
I was really hoping Atlanta would get the 4th pick. Damn you, Stern!
So funny! God of basketball punish them for all their whining!!
keep fishing you whiners
The next sound you hear is me falling out of my chair, LMAO.
Screw You!!!!!!
Suns fans are whining more tonight--saying the NBA screwed them AGAIN!
LOL
Well, considering that the West just that much tougher tonight in the draft lottery I think it's very possible.
Pheonix can't take the #11 pick that Atlanta got from Indiana?
nope
Shafted!
OK. Don't know much about trade/draft rules and SFIE was half asleep and not sure.
yeah can someone explain the rules and everything
Indeed.
I used to like the Suns (still love Nash), but after their whining I'm glad to see them ed by fate.
ahhh hahahahahaha
watch this
es
Atlanta traded their first round pick in the joe johnson deal, but the stipulations were that if they got a pick in the top 3 they were allowed to keep it. so ATL got to keep their pick and phoenix got to whine about more conspiracies
Damn, thought the lottery was tomorrow.
While I was browsing the Suns forums during the series, they were acting like it was a foregone conclusion that they were going to get that pick. They already were trading it for KG.

phoenix fans saying stern screwed em again!!
So, is this another "Dynasty that wasn't" for Boston?
Just want you to know that not all Suns fans are whiners. I am not. I take the hand that fate gives me and do the best I can with it. I also don't buy into any NBA conspiracy theories. It is just so highly improbable that there is any conspiracy for or against any team or style of play.
As for the Suns team, I just really like the personalities of Nash, Marion, Leandro, Amare, Boris, James Jones, and Raja. Nash is clearly the leader and this team rises and falls with him. I believe the Suns will see even more success in the future. An NBA championship for the Suns is possible but not highly likely... since there are so many events, within their control or not, which can trip a team up in pursuit of it.
I like the Suns' fast, well-balanced and creative offense. Their defense is greatly improved as well from 2 years ago. However, it is evident from the playoff series against the Spurs that they have much work to do in improving both their offense and defense. The Suns seemed one-dimensional and easily stunted by a great defense. Also, their defense relied more on individual talent and efforts rather than on collective, systematic effort.
The Spurs, on the other hand, had 3 independent, dangerous threads of offense. It was unpredictable, creative and explosive. And their defense functioned instinctively, collectively, as if coordinated by one brain.
If you are familiar with the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). One could say the Suns offense is CMM level 3 while its defense was CMM level 1. The Spurs team however, is CMM level 3 or even 4 in both its offense and defense.
I know Nash and D'Antoni saw all this and more... and they must be awe-struck by the work that still needs to be done if they are to have a chance to win next season.
