Even though we look bad right now, we still hold our destiny with the play in, where we most likely pull a first round matchup with wither the Wolves/Nugs which we have played well against this season. A first round upset could give us momentum to reach the WCF, but beyond that I get weary.
Yeah terrible loss but with the Lakers losing it could set things up for a 7-8 matchup with the Kings, most likely at home. OKC is very likely going to be the 3. It’s cliche but if we lose b2b play in games we don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. But if we make it as the 7/8 we are 4-1 vs the Nuggets / Wolves this year. And the Pels just might take out the Thunder.

Yeah, I don’t want watch us get dismantled like Lakers did to us in 4-5 games back in 2000 season when we had KJ, Kidd on our team.
And Penny? How'd you forget backcourt 2000?

Why does this matter so much? What exactly does it accomplish seeing individual player records all season long? Will it makes suns fans sleep better at night knowing the “ big 3” are 23-15 together?
Shows how disappointing they've been. 10 games over .500 at best for over a 100 million dollars?

I figured listing two great suns legends was enough. Sorry for forgetting Penny, Marion, Oliver Miller, Cliffy.. etc

You are forgiven. Did we have Rodgers then too? I am so old I am forgetting. Googs?

0/12 between KD, Book and Beal in the first quarter. That's when we lost the game.
I mean, **** happens and there are always games like that here and there but it's weird and sad to get this terrible production out of your Big 3 in a decisive game.
Kings and Lakers lost so it's all about the Pelicans now. We need to win tomorrow and wait for the Pelicans to lose @ Sacramento.

So Booker doesn’t disappear in huge, decisive games? You’re happy with him here eating up millions of dollars choking in huge games? We can get good value for him but most need to swallow their pride and accept that he isn’t a superstar but a very great all star player.

Clippers and OKC are horrible matchups for us. They're just too big at the wings and will wear us down, and it's not like we can take advantage of them inside either.
This team aint winning a title, but I'd take Denver or Minnesota in the first round if we can get there

What's the point of another 2nd round exit though?
I think missing the playoffs would be better than getting blown out in another elimination game.

Don’t worry. We will get the Wolves, Nuggets, and Pels/Lakers in some order.

This close to the PO and with all remaining games being must win games this doesn't phase you?

Nope
There's seemingly must win games every month and as I see it, we're still in the playoff picture

Actually, no. Not angry at all. Call it clarity.

I get the feeling that this team is entirely waiting to play their A game in the playoffs.
Not something that I like but it's the feeling that I get hearing them in interviews and watching them play without actual urgency.
