This is it! The end of a disappointing season that started out with so much promise. We will miss the postseason for the fifth consecutive season and haved lost nine of our last 10 to fall five games behind the 8th spot in the WCF.

Go Suns!!!

Dis • cuss

Go Su...meh

It is sad because it means no more Suns basketball for awhile. It isn't so bad because we don't have to watch this train wreck of a team again. That is unless the Suns believe and continuity and shove this garbage down our throat again next year.

I can hear it now. "Look at the Hawks, no meaningful additions, trot out the same team as last year and win 23 more games. Continuity!"

I'm done with the Bledsoe era. I hope against hope that he's gone next year. At the very least, don't allow him to be the primary ball handler.

It is sad and now we have to wait until October to see what McDonough can put together. I'll be sorely disappointed if basically the same team starts out next season.

This will sound terribly old school, but the coaching staff should be watching who plays the hardest and who is mailing it in. Everybody who plays should be playing for a job. It's the last game of the season ... leave it all out on the floor.

If he would agree to play the 2, I'd be happy with him. If he were 6-5, well shit, he'd be perfect for us.

If he were 6-5 im not sure he'd have ever been traded.

Looking forward to this one . It has been a disappointing season but looking forward to next year. We have the chemistry, coaching, and players to really do something phenomenal next year so don't get your hope down. If we are able to pick up Austin Rivers in the offseason things will get BUCK in this. Can you imagine the team with Rivers? A man can dream. Anyway, here are my key match-ups tonight. I expect a let down game from The Clippers and a great look into the future of the Jeff Hornacek led Phoenix Suns

Key Match-Ups :

Chris Paul vs. Eric Bledsoe : Major battle of former Clippers. Some argued that it was a mistake to trade Bled and Paul was not the superior PG. I think at this point Paul is a little better, but Bled will lilely take his pure raw enthusiasm and heart to Paul tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets nearly a triple. Hoping for less than 18 turn overs . Bled may also talk during the game when something happens pro or con. That might change the tide all together.

Blake vs. Markeiff : Blake is a better dunker but Keiff is an ace from 17.5 feet. I wouldn't be surprised if the Suns pull the old Parent Trap trick and switch our Keiff for Marcus. the idea of Blake trying to contain Marucs Morris makes me lol hard. I'm guessing Markeif limits Blake to 12-13 points , sub 30% shooting . This will be the game that sets up Markeiff for a few years of All-Star appearances. I've been watching this brew for the last few seasons. Blake is obviously intimated by Markeiff but it just means better basketball. Two athletes in their prime , equally matched both mentally and physically on the floor. It reminds me of 90s ball. Going to be so good I can hardly wait. Blake will prob get head from his trainer too which is a nice twist

Jeff Hornacek vs Doc Rivers : This is old vs. new. In their corner you have Doc Rivers - okay he won a few championships but he's not all that for sure. We have a new and mentally fresh exciting vibrant leader in Horny Sock -- I wouldn't be surprised if at one point Jeff turns around and grimaces with his nearly denture like grill while drawing up a sick play at the end of a quarter [ get it to Tucker ] . Doc will struggle keeping his team motivated as they prepare for the Playoffs so Horny will use his mastery of XOs to contain Paul while getting Blake into foul trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if the two of them end up getting ejected . A lot of passion in one room

Small favors. The previous game is in double OT so we'll miss the 1st Q!

Maybe the Wizards and Pacers can go to 7OT and spare us from seeing the Suns altogether.

Slightly annoyed by this. Double OT and struggle to get 100, yuck.

I need this last viewing as a memorial to end this craptastic season, lets buyr this mf'r.

Quick question. Has there ever been a season where every team in a 5-team division has made the playoffs? If N.O. makes it the entire SW division will.

Gerald, you dribbling machine you.

And Lester Hudson takes the rebound from Earl Barron. Lester Hudson.

Green, cover your guy brah.

This one's getting really ugly.
