Like an idiot, I'm predicting Suns win by 3.

I keep stupidly picking the Suns to win despite their being complete garbage. But the Bulls are actively tanking, which we are not (yet).

Not according to their coach:

"The responsibility I have is to winning and putting the guys out there who give us the best chance to do that," Donovan said. "I feel that's my job and responsibility as a coach."

He's going to do the best he can with what he's got. Like I said above, they pushed the Knicks to OT in New York and just narrowly lost. I bet they have less turnovers, out-rebound us, and play better defense than us.

If the Suns do lose tonight, I will predict losses for the rest of the season. Wouldn't it be crazy if they only won a couple games from here on out? Seems wild but from what I saw in Houston after the break, it really wouldn't be that crazy. You can't win many games when you have significantly more turnovers, are out-rebounded, and allow open shots from your opponents.

We're in a lose-lose situation for sure. I don't think there's some magic button they're going to push where they can go on a run. I think they'll keep doing what they've been doing and lose most of the rest of their games. The issue is of course Houston having our pick, so we can't tank properly nor can we afford to sit/rest Book, KD, Beal to avoid injury and get a look at the younger guys on the roster.

Ish show. I like that. If Ish doesn’t learn from his mistakes and start to turn things around, I can imagine him picking up the epithet Isht. For now he’s just bIsh.

If we end up tarring and feathering him and running him out of town on a rail, he can be Ish-tar.

Pretty sure I saw a couple of fouls go uncalled.

You think they'd learn to stop after the first 6 days.

On the seventh day you’re supposed to rest (I post, on Shabbos).

Finally pulling Tyrus, good…. Not starting Dunn, bad.
