I can't tell if the Lakers loss or the Warriors loss hurts more.

We had the Warriors game in our back pocket, and could have had the #1 seed if we had won.

Yeah I meant which one bothers me more personally. As you said the Warriors win was in our back pocket. On the other hand, it's the Lakers... I mean, fuck the Lakers...

LeBron reinjured his ankle and left the game tonight.

Wow. Was it serious or are they just taking precautions?

Well, there you go! 11-5. Better than expected. Great season. I think Bobster said that this winning percentage puts us at 5th best Suns regular season of all-time.
I don't have a good stat site; can somebody tell me the top 5? I assume it's the 90s team plus SSOL mid-2000s teams mostly? Maybe one of the older teams from the 70s too?

Actually, Bobster posted them in the game day thread.

Don't know but he probably won't be 100% on Wednesday.

Saw a tweet that had a quote from Vogel who said he was fine.

He looked ok when he was walking around on the sidelines after. And by the time the 4th quarter came around, there was no incentive for the lakers to win or lose the game. everything was already set by that point.
