Don't look now, but the Suns are just two games back of Portland in the loss column.
Free Agency
DeMar Derozan for the minimum!

PG: Jordan McLaughlin, Killian Hayes, Kris Dunn, Spencer Dinwiddie, Monte Morris
C: Mo Bamba, Andre Drummond, James Wiseman, Goga Bitadze, Jay Huff

After hitting their apex at 41-18, Portland has gone 4-9, losing to Orlando tonight. They have Atlanta, Chicago, Memphis and the Clippers before squaring off against the Suns. That's a difficult trail for Stotts' gang to blaze.

Edit: Lakers, not Clippers. Still, they could go 1-3 over that span ...
Window is open again ... blue skies ahead?

Fuuuuuuuuuudge. Mavs took out the Thunder tonight in OT. That's a HUGE win for them and their playoff hopes. Argh.

That pisses me off. Mavs beat the Thunder twice in 9 days. OKC couldn't do us a solid & beat them one time?

Bet MDA felt good doing that to NY, anyway!!

16 points for Amare? Good for him.

The Lakers have a player named Kent Brockman. not really ,its like Bazemore, but I looked quick and laughd anyways. And who is Ryan Kelly? Are the Laker's actually fielding NBA players? LMFAO.

You don't remember Bazemore from the Summer league? He was amazing against us on the Warriors.

D'Antoni is getting the most out of that cruddy roster. But they aren't capable of much.

The Pelicans have picked an odd time to start playing well. They've won 4 in a row with wins over MIami, Brooklyn, and the Clippers. And of course we play them in 2 weeks.

Grizz aren't making it easy for us, are they? I am starting to think we will have to pass Dallas or Portland.

I thought Gasol would miss some time with that ankle sprain but I guess not. Not when you're in the hunt for playoffs. Ah well. We're going to have to hit 50 wins for any shot.

It would be absurd for a team with 50 wins to miss the playoffs, right??

Two games tonight that we should keep our eyes on. Portland plays Atlanta, and I still think they could slip below us in the standings. And Dallas plays the Clippers. Both could become losses, which would help us out a lot.

Dallas has a favorable schedule. Memphis I think is just a better team then us (Thats not a Diss, Memphis could really give SA fits again this yr).

It's going to be tough, like Mori said Portland might be the best chance
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Let's say we take the last playoff spot from Portland. Does LMA leave? Does he come here? Do we want him here??
