It's not about predicting it. It just seemed extremely improbable to me, even two weeks ago, that the Suns could lose every game, or almost every game, without Nash, because every now and then games like the Clippers game happen. Teams don't generally go on 23-game losing streaks no matter how bad they are. And even a single win like this would have dispelled any notions of getting a top 3 pick because there was so little room for error.

man this guy must struggle to make free throws more than I thought then. i don't watch him very often, typically the only time I see im is dunking. when dallas played them earlier in the year he missed several free throws in the 4th quarter and at the end of the game didn't even want the ball...

Gentry saw the air ball, then Blake barely drew iron on the second attempt. The Suns were on a swing, I am usually the first guy to start dissing Gentry, but the whole vibe of it worked. It was a frustrate the crap out of the Clippers vibe, the hack job was some icing on the pissed off cake.

That was a fun game to watch and I aint down with the foul the shady free throw guy.

I enjoy that part of the game. For me, and this is just my opinion, free throws should be cake for any NBA player. these guys get paid millions of dollars and are all the best in the world. The key for the great NBA players is to find the parts of their game that they are weak on and turn them into a strength over time. most nba players work on their craft that they are great at and don't work on their weaknesses beacuse they don't want to face them.

if they can't make free throws, they can't get mad because their opponent is exposing their weakness. I remember when matt barnes was crying about the clippers dunking on the lakers and celebrating. too bad, if you don't like it stop them. same for shaq and blake griffin, if you don't like it make the free throws and people will stop. not that blake was complaining, i'm just sayin.
