Official Game Thread: Suns at Hawks

[davis171]

That hurts hawks can't have nice things.

[AHF]

 So pissed.  Can't describe our season better than this emoji going from pole position to where we are now.

[Guest]

Damn ...

Taurean SURA FOR THE WIN

[DBac]

Can't help but laugh. Short of benching Taurean there was nothing Bud could do there.

[davis171]

The Hawks should have just thrown the ball away for all I care hawks finishing at best 4th could easily see us falling to 7ish.

[Dnice]

Dennis was benched too, Hawks will pick at 9 or 10, probably.

[TheFuzz]

Ain't that big a deal. We stay in 5th, and there's so much luck involved anyway. I know IN THEORY you want the #1 pick, but Markannen went #7. Someone always slips or gets underrated/overrated. There's talk that Bagley might fall to the 7/8 range.

Plenty of games to go, too. Ayton doesn't appear to be some transcendent star at #1, we'll be alright.

Damn you Prince ... we can’t even tank right

Doncic is my guy. I agree it is a deep draft I just think that Ayton and Doncic have high floors and potentials.

Yay tanking an entire season for Wendell Carter or Mikal Bridges

I got faves too (Doncic and Bagley), but point is see where the chips fall before we despair. We could very easily finish #7 and jump up to #3, as long as we're fairly high I wouldn't stress too much.

[Guard]

So predictable. 

Just gotta hope whatever player they draft from the 5-8 range exceeds expectations. The Hawks are seriously blowing this. 

[AtlKauzie]

Out of all the games booker drops 30 this is the one he decides not to. That taurean game winner was dope though.

That hasn't happened yet. So no reason to complain about it. And while I don't think either of those guys will be great what do we know. Markannen and Mitchell went 7 and 13 last year and they'd get drafted 1 and 2 in a redraft probably.

[capstone21]

That was a pivotal victory that we needed to avoid

[cam1218]

It sucks when we can’t keep our odds for the top pick up, but at least it was Prince hitting the shot instead of a Sura type.

[AtlKauzie]

This game meant a lot but the last 15 out of 18 look like loses to me so im not gonna lose my mind over this.

I'd throw Tatum up there too, however multiple draft guys said even before the year started if Fultz and Lonzo were  in this years draft that Fultz would be borderline top 5 and Lonzo would be outside the top 5 so this class is stronger at the top than last year I think most see that too.

yeah Pacers seemed like a lock to be a loss too.

[GrimeyKidd]

Lets go Prince!!! Great win!
