Finale

It is typically pretty easy to win basketball games when the other team is trying to lose. The Suns really want another top pick, and with the Lakers also in tank mode Phoenix can’t really afford to beat many teams going forward.

The players will be trying hard, of course, but there’s simply a lack of talent on this roster. It’s not even really correct to say Phoenix is tanking–the Suns just aren’t good.

The Bucks are caught in no-man’s land right now. They’re not close to a good pick, but they’re still clearly outside of the playoff picture. A loss here might clear up how fans should view the rest of the season in Milwaukee.
