(OT) Suns are gonna get the 8th seed

[MIXUM]

Im calling it right now. If they beat Dallas Sunday, the Suns wont lose again.

Their schedule is very easy after the Dallas game. They do face the hornets but the hornets will never keep up with the suns scoring. Dallas better win Sunday. Dallas has the Hornets twice, Houston and Utah. Both teams seasons come down to Sunday.

Anyhow, it looks like we clinch against the grizz if i had to guess. We arent beating Houston or SA and i think the suns win out.

I'm curious Mixum, will you honor your promise not to post negative comments when the Blazers clinch? I must admit I'm skeptical.

It'll be interesting.

IF the Suns beat the Mavs on Sunday, they'll then be two games behind Dallas in the loss column. The remaining games for both teams would be:

Phoenix: @Hornets; @Grizzlies; @Timberwolves; Grizzlies; Warriors.

Certainly all winnable games with the one in New Orleans most likely being the most difficult challenge.

Dallas: Jazz; Hornets; @Hornets; Timberwolves; Rockets

Much more difficult schedule.


I'm not certain who has the tie-breaker, but anything can happen in the NBA....and oftentime does. Frankly, for obvious reasons, I'd rather the Suns make the playoffs, than the Mavs.

 

[BrianFromWA]

you know, either one will get beaten pretty easily by the L*kers...I'm looking up in the race, not down.

 

[ABM]

Today's Suns @ Mavs game will be very intriguing. You can bet I'll be watching.

BTW, I'll be pulling for the Suns...just because.

Also will be pulling for Utah...since they're behind the Hornets.

Are you starting to feel the noose tightening? I can't imagine what must be racing through you mind with the specter of a 4 or 5 month stretch of 'no negativity' staring you in the face. The pressure must be unbearable.

PS. What does the Suns getting into the playoffs have to do with the Lakers? I'm guessing you don't want to see your boys have to face Shaq and Nash in the first round

 

[MIXUM]

yes im a man of my word.... and will post positive things through the playoffs.... and possibly the draft... but then

i shall take a leave and make my return when the days grow short

Yet another Mixum prophecy!

 

[The_Lillard_King]

Personally, I'm routing for the Suns. They are no longer a factor for the Blazers . . . and suns beating the Mavs make the mavs no longer a factor for the Blazers.

Agreed. I'd much rather see Dallas completely out of the playoff picture than Phoenix ... and God help me, I just like Shaq and would love to see him square off against the Lakeshow.

 

[Further]

considering our second round matchup might well be the Lakers, I want whichever team will take more out of the Lakers between Dallas and the Suns. Personally, I think both teams might get swept by the Lakers, but I think that Shaq is more likely to at least provide some solid banging and he might fall on Kobe. So, I would love to see the Suns win out. But, even if the Suns win tonight, I still think that Dallas will eek into the playoffs ahead of the Mavs. So, I don't really care who wins.

Good point, Dallas has been a monkey on our back for several seasons now. We have now answer for Dirk, but we can beat the Suns without Amare.

As PagaG had said, though, we won't have to consider the Suns nor the Mavs as the Lakers will have already disposed of either in, most likely, quick fashion.

i will be watching from a distance my friends .... but closer then you think

Cool, you're joining Maxie in Denver?

 

[MIXUM]

ah abm.... follow the question mark in the sky and there you will find the answer

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, it looks like the Suns are done and we are about to clinch a playoff birth. The Suns are getting blown out in Dallas.

 

[gambitnut]

I want the Suns to win for two reasons. First, it would be nice to remove even the slim chance of meeting the Mavs in the playoffs. Second, I REALLY don't want the Mavs to move up above the eighth seed.

It's pretty much over Gambit... obviously there's still a half to play, but Phoenix just looks beaten.

 

[sabas4mvp]

in before mixum blames the suns' poor play on Nate, Sergio or Greg.

16 points 16 asts for Kidd. Just passed Magic Johnson.

81 points at the half haha

Yeah, Phoenix is going to have to play much, much better if they are going to get back in the game. The first game of the day went the way I wanted, it looks like this one isn't going to.

 

[Nate Dogg]

It obvious, PHX didn't focus on defense today giving up 81 points at the half. PHX is done. So much for the playoffs.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Great. Get ready for a blog entry from Cuban saying how letting Nash walk for nothing five years ago so they could sign Erick Dampier and trading Devin Harris for Jason Kidd last season were both genius moves by the Mavs. If one half of 16/16 basketball doesn't prove this, I' don't know what will

BNM

ESPN jackson picked the Blazers as the "sleeper" team. "They have Brandon Roy but are very well coached by Nate McMillian, which makes them a dangerous team."
He made this quote in the end of the PHX vs DAL game at 2:43 PST/5:43 EST.

 

[MrJayremmie]

MIXUM!!!!! YOUR TIME HAS COME MY FRIEND!!!!!!

I really hope you keep posting though, just not all the overly negative stuff. But it looks like 1. THe suns WONT make the playoffs... 2. The Blazers will.
