    The thing about the Play IN is that the winners of 9th/10th do not have the legs for the 2nd Game.

    After the Heroics ------- the Awakening.

    • Hornets had every chance to even avoid the Play In and win 6th Seed, their first half of the Season was bad.
    • 7th Seed a few games apart.....

    If Bam's leg hadn't been grabbed, Miami might have eliminated Charlotte.

    Errr, I doubt that, see last year, the Hornets also stunk it up, it is just nearly impossible to play an almost B2B on a high note.

    Jalen has one good game against OKC and then watch OKC dismantle them.

    Obviously both of these teams have zero chance against the Thunder but which team can at least make it a little tougher for them? I assume the Suns because of Dillon defending SGA?

    Kneuppel really no-showed these play-in games. I have a bad feeling the same will happen with Reed.

    Worriers are now a shadow of their past, and nothing when Curry cannot hit a shot.

    Bench is suspect as well.

    The Suns have beat the Thunder 2 times this season. I would still roll with the Warriors putting up more of a fight though.

    Both Booker and Curry have been relatively quiet tonight.

    The Suns might not be able to win this if Booker doesn't step it up.
