The Grizz seem to have our number this year. Beaten us 3 times in a row. I would still like to see the Suns beat 'em to keep our hopes alive. I don't care about the 14th vs. 20th (ish) pick. I think it's outweighed by the number of guys we have who would benefit from a playoff series.

At least we get one chance to stay alive, on our own floor. Does anybody know if Dragic is playing, or if there are any other injuries for either team?

Hornacek says Dragic is good to go and will start

I didn't realise this was Gasol's first game against the Suns this year, which makes their record against the Suns even more impressive.

That's for sure, if we only score 14 a quarter

Oof. Randolph and Gasol are such giant beasts down low. We don't have anybody even remotely capable of stopping them. And Mike Miller's corpse comes back to life, too? Ugh.

Suns still on pace for season low in scoring, even after 9-0 run to end the half.
Go Suns!

Each time I think we will fall behind, the Suns get another big basket. We can do it!

It's been a crazy game. Season highs for Randolph and Miller .....Plumlee hitting jump shots! I'm not even going to try to predict what's going to happen next.

one last gasp for the Desert Cinderellas

So many missed shots/missed foul shots in the last minute. It's like no-one wants to make the playoffs.

They had there shot...nobody could hit a 3 when it counted.

Still a great year...Looks like 14,17, and 27. We can do a lot of things to improve the team with that.

What a gut-wrenching last few games for the Suns to just miss out, but they should be very proud of what they've achieved (although hopefully not content going into next season - I'd like to see the heartbreak add fuel to their motivational fire).

Also there was a lot of love for Dragic from the Grizzlies after the game. He's really won a lot of respect with how he's led the Suns this season.

Well, i'm proud of the team. Nobody expected a watchable team, much less a good and fun one.
Next season we'll be even better.

Yep, very proud of the guys. This team just never gives up. They fight until the bitter end. Once we get a low post presence, we'll be a tough team to contend with. Great year. I'm excited for our future.

I just hope Len and Goodwin get a bunch of PT next game. Bring on the lottery!
