Let's keep the streak alive! I think it is nearly impossible for us to 'catch' Philly, but we have a shot with LA. (Although don't we all know that if we finish 2nd and LA 3rd, they will jump us in the lotto?)

Philly has been competitive in games. I think the later in the year it gets, the more games they will win as other teams give up and play their youth.

Yes, but assuming we stay as awful as we have been, we probably win 2-4 more games. Philly would have to win 10-12 more games this year. With only 27 to go. That just isn't going to happen.

I like this playing teams hard and losing in the 4th. Although tonight I don't see the trend continuing.

This gets ugly.....Clips 110 Suns 86

We;re not catching Philly. If Knight comes back I think we have a pretty good shot at passing Brooklyn again and staying infront of LA. If he doesn't then we have a good chance of having LA pass us.

Len is still trying to do too much. Gets the ball in the lane and then puts it on the ground. Just knock down the hook.

Does anyone have ideas on what Watson has against Leuer? Seems like he is productive and plays smart Bball. But Humphries comes in and starts immediately. I don't recall hearing anything about Leuer being injured...

Looked at the final score.

Not surprised.

Wake me up next season.

Go Dbacks!

Wow. Only 9 posts in a Game Day thread, and we lose by 40. A new low. Way to show up, Suns. I missed most of it since the wife and I had friends over. Looks like Goodwin and Len scored well but shot poorly. Not a lot of positives to take away from this one. Uh, Price had a pretty decent stat line?

And we kept it from being our worst margin of defeat ever. Silver linings!

Pressey proved his worth again, although his shooting sucked.

He had some moments, but overall didn't look like an NBA point guard. Like you said, he can't shoot and I don't know that he's good enough at the other stuff to overcome it. He was better last game.

Price is an expert at running the "clogged toilet offense" as Bill Simmons calls it.

Booker building a house of bricks lately. Enough to build the rookie wall he seems to have hit.

The Price is right. Especially if you're looking to buy more tickets for the lottery. Keep that offense flowing young blood!

I usually watch all of the games. I watched the first quarter and said "nope." It was a blood bath from the tip. Len's hands were replaced by stumps. Booker was airballing and hitting the side of the backboard. The offense consisted of one pass then a 3pt attempt. I'm glad we're tanking and I'd like to keep Watson on as an assistant but no reason to consider him head coaching beyond this season.

27 losses in 29 games.

Earl Watson now 0-8.

How many of the remaining 27 games can we reasonably expect this team to win? 4? 5? Or is that being optimistic?
