I think it's pretty much official now - we aren't getting Minnesota's pick this year. I dunno there is a pretty good chance we don't make the playoffs. Then there is a very small chance we get a top 3 pick. If that happens Minny will have the 14th which would go to us. :) True, but the Timberwolves...

I think it's pretty much official now - we aren't getting Minnesota's pick this year.

4th quarter - Suns 34, Timberwolves 17.

Great win, and another example of why Minnesota has such a mediocre record considering their point differential.

Minnesota's problem today is that their starters can't play 48 minutes.

Gerald Green has an incredibly low basketball IQ

A couple of really dumb fouls by Dragic there.

Adding talent to the frontcourt has to be priority #1, but a live body who can rebound would be nice.

Bledsoe still waiting for his wakeup call.

Wolves up by 20.

1st quarter - Minn 41 pts, 62% shooting, 7-9 FT, 10 ast; Suns 7 Trn, 1-2 FT, 7 PF

The Suns look really sluggish - despite making their first five shots they've fallen behind because of poor perimeter defense and careless ballhandling.

This is a must-win for Minnesota if they want any shot at all for the playoffs.

Ungh! Don't remind me LL!

Every team has a few of those games every year. Playing .500 ball over the course of a couple of months when Bledsoe was out is the big problem. To be a real contender in the West the Suns are going to need to upgrade their starting frontcourt. They have one-non scorer in Plumlee and two guys who ba...

Nets shooting 60% through three quarters.

Just a horrible defensive effort. No way to sugar-coat it.

this one went south again really fast - nets in the middle of a 14-0 run.

Yeah, they've really gotten their money's worth, haven't? they've probably spent another $800-900 million on salaries too!

In those 11 years they have made the playoffs four times and gotten to the second round once.

Over the last 11 years New York has spent $205 million on just the luxury tax.

They aren't worried about paying an executive $12 million, they make so much off local cable tv that it's like printing their own money.

Tucker was a mixed bag. He needs to be under control. Personally I believe the call on his offensive rebound was not flawless, and they could have saved themselves the technical, but I wouldn't be surprised if refs would have taken his number. Depending on how he handles his relationship with the r...

Seems like I remember reading the Celtics pulling some chicanery (it was probably allowed then anyway) where they drafted Larry Bird after his junior year - and still retained his rights even though he returned for his senior season at Indiana State. Bird had sat out a year as a redshirt when he tr...
