And we failed.

Our current record is 39-42. We're actually only 1 game up on Utah in the loss column; they're 37-43. They can still catch/tie us. That's pretty sad. (Who'd win that tie-breaker, in terms of draft order?)

I lost my prediction guys.

Spurs actually had to play their starters into the 4th quarter. That's a win for the shorthanded Suns.

Poll: which team has a better future: utah or phoenix?

Is it even a question?

One mini-anti-tanking idea I had is that in these situations, you give the better pick to the team that won the season series.

Coin flips don't go that well for the Suns do they?

We won a coin flip with Seattle to get Connie Hawkins.

I wasn't aware of that.

I am curious about the same thing. It sends a pretty bad message that as a coaching staff, you can't even fill out a lineup card correctly!

This team/franchise needs an enema.

After the Suns lost their coin flip with the Bucks for the first pick in the draft (and Lew Alcindor) Connie Hawkins settled his anti-trust suit against the NBA (which had blackballed him).

Since the NBA didn't want him to be a free agent negotiating with several teams they assigned his rights with a coin flip between the 2nd and 3rd-worst teams in the league (the Suns and Sonics), figuring the Bucks wouldn't need him since they already got their superstar in Alcindor.

So the Suns, who had gone 16-66, managed to add Neal Walk (college draft), Hawkins (special coin flip) and Paul Silas (trade) all in one offseason and became a playoff team.

Thanks for the lowdown!

Suns got Silas for Gary Gregor, an absolute steal. Hawks were loaded up front, and thought they could make Gregor a backup center. Not likely. Silas was a mulebeast in the paint for the Suns.
