So...you're saying there's a chance?

It's not over until the fat lady sings, is it? Little premature on the subject title change, aren't we? Not that I think it'll happen but shouldn't you wait until we are mathematically eliminated? Plus, is this even your thread? Split T should be the one to do the honors.

OK, good to know and I think the right move to change it back. Glad it wasn't Marty. Appearances can be deceiving when the last thing I see is the Vince Carter meme and you above it talking about better chances than you gave them. I'm sure you'll be able to change it back soon enough. :P

We can still see whose prediction wins…I originally posted with 27 games to go and we’ve played 23. We’ve gone 9-14 in those 23. Here are the predictions:

Superbone: 13-14(It looks like you predicted after our first win, so I added that win to your 12-14 prediction)
SplitT: 11-16
Mori: 9-18
Laz: 9-18(also predicted after the Chicago win)
JJ Slim: 6-21
TOO: 0-27
Cap: -3-30

My money is on you, Split! I think maybe we win the last two. Maybe.

Sacramento won tonight so Suns would have to win their last 4 and the Kings have to lose their last 3 for the Suns to tie them.

The Suns are 2½ behind Dallas with Dallas having three to play. So I believe the Mavericks' magic number is 2 since the Suns won the season series.

If anyone still has hope, Draft King is offering +500000 for the whole thing. No typo, 5000 to one. Put down $100, see us win and be set for life.

I didn't change it. I almost never edit or change others' posts, usually only if there's a problem of some kind. I don't want anyone to feel that I have a heavy hand as moderator or editor of the site. And please do call me out if I ever do so in an inappropriate way.

I already read the whole thread before posting my message, ya goof. I just wanted to state it unambiguously for anyone reading that I did not edit the post and almost never do so. I want to make sure people know that! Straight from the horse's ... mouth.

Neighhhhh... Yeah, that's cool that you added your stance when it comes to the website. And as you saw, Split definitively copped to changing the thread title. And it probably won't last long until it's back again because of those pesky mathematics.

Suns now need to go 3-0 and have Dallas go 0-3 for the Suns to qualify for the play-in.

They are currently on a 7-game losing streak with a -23.7 point differential (105.6/129.3). Their closest loss was to Milwaukee by 10 points. They have had 30-point (Boston), 39-point (Houston), 20-point (Boston), and 38-point (Golden State) losses during that streak.

The loss last night lowered their play-in odds to 0.4%

I'm feeling optimistic about this one!!!

Remember when they were 35-37, riding a 4-game win streak and we were feeling pretty good about their chances?

Yeah, neither do I.
