#1 seed magic number watch

[Suns_fan69]

I'm getting my information here: http://www.playoffstatus.com/nba/westernwinmagicnumbers.html

As of today, before the Suns/Knicks games, the magic number for the #1 seed is: 13

Phoenix secures the #1 seed overall with any combination of 13 wins by the Suns or losses by the Warriors (as of now at least, Memphis looks primed to leapfrog them, possibly Utah as well given the respective records in the last 10 games)

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns, Warriors and Grizzlies also have better records than any Eastern Conference Team

Update. Phoenix with the 115-114 win over NYK, the magic number for the #1 seed is now: 12

At this point I don't give a rats bum if we are the #1 seed or the 8th. Lets just have a complete fully healed and healthy team come playoffs time.
There's not a team in the NBA that could beat that. This team is 1 sharpshooter away from a chip.
Shame T is not the answer. I think Monte/JJ blew a load on Shame T and still hope he improves on his above average ****** shooting.
Trade that fool for a bucket of chicken and a 2nd round pick.
He's not doing it.

Nah I rather have home court for every series possible.

Plus the sooner it's locked up the more freedom it gives to resting players and giving guys like Holiday more time to get comfortable.

Over 40 days. Monty is gonna have to find ways to rest key starters…

The best way would be for the Suns to wrap up first place in league standings as soon as possible.

Is it too late to tank for a draft pick?
Guess we should go for it all.
There is no chance that we don't get the #1 seed.
We've lost two games in a row maybe... twice this season?
I would and do bet on this team without CP3 and Book against 95% of the teams in the NBA.
The Bucks will be tough but F them this is our year.
I think we win vs the Bucks w/o our mains.
OR we get killed.
Either way no team is catching us.

Road Warriors, best clutch team in the league and a shoe in for the NBA champs. Best home record best road record best everygoddamn thing record.
Home court means nothing to this team. Would be nice to have HC but I have enough faith in this team that they will win out no matter what.
Line em up and shoot em down it matters not what order you bring them.

While I agree I’m supremely confident in this team home or road, don’t sell short the tremendous home court advantage this team has. It’s valuable.

Warriors lose again, thanks to LeBron.

Yipee! And the road gets a little shorter.
Whats a Lebron? Is it good?

So now 11.

 

[Dr. Jones]

So..... Memphis was in 2nd place after the Lakers beat the Warriors. Tonight they lost to the Rockets. Did that get us to 10? Or are we still stuck on 11?

Still 11. If GS were to win out we would have to win 11 games to finish a game ahead.

Confirmed, the magic number for the #1 seed is: 11

Suns need to get healthy. They are playing .500 ball since All-Star Break. Book can't comeback soon enough. We are in the driver seat.

If we go .500 rest of the season, Golden State would have to win every game but one to tie us, Memphis would have to win out.
