With the exception of the Laker game obviously, I feel good about where this team is right now. They've won four of their last five games and the energy has been there. The defensive energy, the offensive execution, and just overall playing with pace has been there. Totally night and day from what we saw in the middle of the season. I feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel. I enjoy watching them play now. Hopefully they'll sneak in and make the play-in tournament or the 6th seed, but I'm just glad to see the Suns play better basketball.🙂
6th seed? We’re going to pick up seven games on GSW with 11 to play?

We go undefeated the rest of the season and I win my over/under bet on Fan Duel.

How about the postseason? I have a $10 bet to win $2,000 if we win the West. :P

Let me check…it was when we were somewhere near our worst…just as a “what if” for fun when I saw the odds haha.

EDIT: It was March 9 apparently.

Gotcha…I was wondering if it was early…was gonna say you could get a better return now, but nvm if you did it right before this recent stretch

I just bet $20 on Ryan Dunn for MVP. It's a longshot, but he deserves it.

I cashed out the bet. I am completely confident that this team will not win the western conference championship and they’re not even worth wasting $10 on.

In fairness I don’t think they were real contenders when the bet was first made but get why you made it since there’s always a chance another team flames out more.

What did they give you? A dollar back if that much?

You could have just bought $10 of scratch-off tickets and spent the money better. Or magic beans.

Nope, they gave me all $10 back! The odds have remained unchanged.
