Wizards are going to screw this up. What a sorry team.

Wizards?

Yeah - the Wizards are now officially eliminated, making it very possible they rest everyone against the Nets, which would be a catastrophe because the Nets finish at home vs. WAS & vs. TOR (who will be resting players as they're locked into their seed) meaning the Nets could win the last two....

If they do, those two games the Celts dropped could be costly.

Imagine if we'd won? We'd be up 2 games on the #3 seed with 3 games left, and we'd have a two game lead in the race for the #3 seed.

Or imagine if the cavs won or the pacers won or Denver won their point is I don't we should remenence what could be the Nets are guaranteed a lotto pick that's what matters now

I don't lament other teams not taking care of business for us.

I do get disappointed when I think about two very important games the Celts lost due to their own complacency. Those were "must win" games against a terrible opponent, and the team didn't show up.

Bad teams beat good teams it happens look at the Warriors losing to the wolves and the cavs losing to the nets besides the nets right now are simply awful I'm not sure they stand a chance against the teams they have left on schedule even if they are resting their players

The Warriors lose to bad teams a lot, but they just happened to lose again at home to the Wolves. They've lost to the Lakers, Bucks, Denver, almost dropped one to the 76ers. Yikes!

Phoenix gets the Pelicans tonight. Easily the most winnable game on either their or Brooklyn's schedules.

Seems that great teams most often lose to the worst opponents -- it's human nature.  They screw around in those game, take the night off to some extent, and find they can't always pull it out at the end.

so many comments on how other teams will be resting their best players, thereby allowing the nets to run wild and win. but hasnt the nets team already decided to bench lopez and others so as to rest them?

i dont see the angst here.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

We gain nothing from NO winning, but a Suns win would be massive.

The Pelicans are mailing it in with this lineup, the Suns have a real shot at taking it tonight.

So you mean if Suns win, Suns lose? This is getting really hard to reconcile... lol

Suns have two more winnable games coming up. It's going to come down to whether or not the Wizards mail it in Monday.
