It took playing in a bubble for Phoenix to win games and actually look like a real NBA team. They started playing good before the shut down. Not this good, but still good. It'll be interesting to see if the team makes another jump forward next year.

As a Suns fan this is great to see I don't expect nothing of it this year if they get lucky enough to get the 8th spot they gonna get swept by the Lakers in the first round so it doesn't really matter but the future is looking a lot better if they can continue to play like this they just need to add a piece of two in the off season.

No offense, but I hope the Blazers keep the 8th spot. I think they’re the only team in the hunt for 8 that can challenge them. If the Suns get a top tier guard to pair with Booker and deepen their depth with shooters, I think they’ll be a very scary team.

Tbh i really don't care if they make the 8th like I said I see a sweep if they could get lucky enough to get it but I rather have a little higher draft pick then getting swept so I'm ok with Blazers making it I think it's between them and Phoenix now seems like the Grizzles didn't show up to the bubble. I would love to see Portland or anybody that makes the 8th knock off LA but I can't see any of them getting more then a game max from them imo it's a two team race for the west and they are both the LA teams

Didn't lose a game in the bubble and still miss the play in game. Well onto next season.

I think the Lakers will still win the series, but the Blazers looked GREAT last night.

Lakers better start attending shoot around or they won’t make it out of the first round.

So many bricks last night. Trump needs to hire Danny Green to build his wall The Lakers reminded me of the new WWE ANTIFAke group when they started chucking all of those bricks.

In the past 10 years, we've only had 5 different #1 picks in the NBA Draft (Pelicans, Cavs, 76ers, Timberwolves, Suns).

Conspiracy theory time, but I could see a scenario where they rigged it for the Hornets in '12. It was the beginning of the "stars leaving small markets" era, Chris Paul had just gotten traded, and they had no owner. I could totally see Stern giving a wink nudge agreement to Tom Benson that if he buys them he'll throw in the first overall pick and Anthony Davis. It fits with the whole "we don't want small markets thinking they don't have a chance" narrative he was projecting at the time. I went into that draft lottery convinced they were winning.

I was hoping they would rig it for the Charlotte Hornets as a favor for Michael Jordan bringing the ratings for the Last Dance documentary

I watched the Draft Lottery Special despite thinking this is going to be one of the weakest drafts we've seen in a long time.
I doubt Minnesota or Golden State will find anyone willing to overpay for those picks.

It makes my Wiggins Cavaliers jersey relevant again.
