Thunder @ Suns 12-28-18 game thread

Nice to see Mikal hit his first shot.

Bridges knocks down the 3 pointer for the Suns.

Suns look like a different team since the return of Booker from the hammy injury. Team looks competitive, engaged, and formidable no matter the opponent. Lets go Suns and get a nice conference win!

 

[Mainstreet]

One key for me is the Suns staying out of foul trouble upfront.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is going to work early tonight.

Ayton with a dunk after a dunk, after yet another dunk.

 

[Sunstroke]

Great first 2:40 seconds by Ayton. Seeing the growth in the two man game

 

[SirStefan32]

Ayton had two good defensive possessions too.

 

[Mainstreet]

If a defender is in front of Warren... no problem. He will slither around him.

 

[SirStefan32]

3J Warren!

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice pull up by Melton.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns will need their bench to come up big tonight and win this battle.

 

[SirStefan32]

I think they are playing well so far. Westbrook isn't gonna shoot 83% from the field the rest of the way.

EDIT: And Booker isn't gonna go 0-4 either.

 

[Mainstreet]

Anyone ever see Westbrook get tired?

 

[1tinsoldier]

when did the Thunder sign Aquaman to play center? isn't he under contract with DC?

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren gets his second foul I believe both on Adams.

I liked that sort of recap of her interview with Ayton by Lindsey Smith. I thought that about Ayton when I saw the overtime in the Magic game, how he said that he's starting to realize every possession matters on both ends of the floor. You could tell that was his thinking then and it's easier to keep that focus in overtime. Just don't let the other team score and we'll win. It's only 5 minutes but if he keeps that thought process he'll do well, especially if he applies it in the 4th quarter.

Quite different from Bledsoe's "I don't want to be here" tweet. That is going to stick with Suns fans for years to come, whether he was a part of winning team here or not.

 

[SirStefan32]

Booker can't hit anything tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is cleaning up missed shots.

It has to even out, right?

Oubre is in the game.
