Suns only down one.
Whatever you do Suns, don't let Knight take the last shot!

The Suns need to get Chase Budinger out of there.  His defense is killing them.

Dang it.  Rubio has come up huge down the stretch.  A big three plus a great steal pretty much seals the game.

Wiggins has more free throws than the entire Suns team.  21 to 19.  The Suns also have twice as many personal fouls than the TWolves.  I haven't watched most of the game, but that doesn't exactly sound like fair officiating.

Suns lose two tough ones in a row.

Nice comeback.

Devin Booker has 30 points lol.

Drafting Booker might save McDonough's job.
Makes up for signing Knight/dumping IT for the most part.

Too bad they don't have IT+Booker.

Read that last line again. One more time.

Wow. That was a trash shot.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Yep.  With 8 seconds, you would think they could try something better.

I guess Teletovic hit a similar game winner against the Twolves doing something similar, but at least get something facing the basket.

good point TP.

Suns win would have been nice but now we are basically guaranteed the 4th best odds going into lottery.

if we got the 4th and 12th this year it would be something great...maybe we are lucky for once and get a top 2 spot... even though i have feeling that the lakers and the sixers of mr... collangelo get the top 2.. i do not know why i have thia feeling

Yep. I was rooting for Minny. The Nets scare me after their last two games. I'll happily take the 4th spot.

Have to agree. Best to go with the security of 4th rather than gamble for 3rd and end up with 5th.

What do ppl think of the Clips?

I used to follow them more, but last season I found them so boring I almost gave up.

My impression is that it is Chris Paul who holds them together. Not only with his individual performance but by improving his team mates by a large margin (esp. Jordan). Given that next season he will be 31, the Clips window of opportunity per contention is starting to close.

The other thing is Griffin. He is an elite player but the Clips as they are don't really need him. Best thing would probably be to trade him, but recent experience suggests it is hard to get good value in trading a top-20 player on a max; and unlike Minny at the Love trade, Clips do not have the time to wait for a draft prospect to mature.
