Suns At Thunder Game Thread

[AfroSuns]

Goran Dragic will start in his place and be matched up with Russell Westbrook, who is averaging 20.6 points, 9.5 assists and 7.4 rebounds in the last eight games. Westbrook posted his second career triple-double Sunday with 22 points, 14 assists and 10 boards.

Durant will get his points unless he is in a slump today, but Goran better be ready to give Westbrook fits or he is going to go for 40 tonight.

Go Suns!!

3rd game in a row I'm going to miss. :-(

dang that sucks nash isn't playing tonight... I still hope the suns come out and play well without Nash. I like the way Goran is playing latly and him getting starter min hopefully he has another solid game for us, also hoping amare and lopez come up huge for us tonight in nash absence. GO SUNS BEAT THE THUNDER END THE WINNING STREAK!!!!

thanx man

 

[AfroSuns]

Our offense was a bit sloppy to start the game but i think the defense got the Suns back in it, even when the Thunder were hitting their shots.
Keep it up guys.

Suns up 27-25 after 1st.

I hope we can pull this game out but regardless of the outcome the real question is:

Will Durant score 30 or 40?

lol

Who knows maybe we can break his streak too!

GO SUNS!

He is likely to score 30.
Amare with 11pts already too

Is grant Hill guarding him?

Mostly

Dragic with 6pts and 5asst in the first half, not bad

Westbrook had 11 points on 5/8 shooting though.

Yeah but Westbrook is a starter on a team on a 9 game winning streak. Without looking at the numbers i am sure he had a good game too when they beat us in Phoenix.

 

[AfroSuns]

C'mon Suns, keep it together.

 

[Proteus]

Here we go again...15 point lead down to 8 in about a minute.

 

[AfroSuns]

That was a BS call on Dragic

 

[jagu]

Refs with some pathetic calls in the 3rd quarter. Dragic with a 3.

"Downloading another 3?" Really? Couldn't come up with ANYTHING ELSE?!

 

[AfroSuns]

The absence of Nash seems to affect Lopez., Amare doing a great job even without Nash.
Losing that lead suck but hopefully they finish strong.

 

[GorrilaLips]

Why was the OK city crowd not cheering when the suns were up by 15? The crowd should've went ballistic knowing the suns give up leads in seconds.

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez...Amare missed both free throws for the 2nd time this game.

 

[Proteus]

A whopping 6 points scored by the Suns in the 1st 6 minutes of the 4th quarter.

 

[GorrilaLips]

that's it...if the suns can't even hold a lead late in the game, and OKC is up by 9 - forget about it, that's game folks....ok continues their win streak.

 

[Proteus]

How much better would this team's record be if we could stop blowing all these leads? Sigh.

 

[jagu]

A quick Q, Durant had like 6 wide open dunks in this game. Should the strategy be to always keep a defender on Durant?
