Thunder @ Suns Wednesday game thread 1-27-2021

[GatorAZ]

This team is flaming out pretty hard.

 

[az240zz]

Do they know how to win. After watching the last 5 or so games I think not.

 

[BC867]

Ayton was a +7, but he scored only 5 with Booker out.

Oof. This team is bad right now and hard to watch. At least last year, even when the team was bad there was an understanding that they were young and still promising (that plus Ayton being suspended kinda gave the team a bit of a pass). This year, they're just bad.

every time i turn on my League Pass, all I’m thinking is Ron Burgundy, chugging 2% saying “Milk was a bad choice!”

A good fight by the depleted Suns roster.

Annie is saying that the ball has been in
Chris Paul's hands 99% of the game.

i really don’t know how you can seriously call that a good effort.

how many free throws did we get? Almost none - that means there was not much effort.

he’s calling it a good effort because CP3 had the ball in his hands 99% of the time, which backs up his ridiculous Booker should just catch and shoot theory... even though we just lost to a bad team at the end of a five game road trip.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Here's probably the most telling thing for me. Did anyone feel comfortable when the Suns were up by 17 or whatever it was? I sure didn't. Thunder had wide open 3 after wide open 3 (including 3 of them in one possession after consecutive offensive rebounds) that they were just missing. The defense was a mirage and it was just a matter of time before some of those started dropping for OKC.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So, we get rolled tomorrow by GS, right?

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are not a very confident team. Can't shoot 37.9% from the field and win.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Interesting that Galloway got zero run tonight.

stix is still a loooooong way away. Which is fine. He’s young. But he’s got to get a lot stronger if he’s ever going to help where we need it.

cam can’t miss that wide open 3 down the stretch.

 

[BC867]

paul actually finally plays well and nobody else shows up.

Paul played "well" because there was no confusion
about which All Star guard was running the team
with Booker out.

If Ayton fulfilled his role on offense, we would have won.

he has missed an open corner 3 in the last 2 minutes in 3 consecutive games.

you must be broke af, you bring up that league pass every thread lol.

I suspect the Suns will put on a good show at the start, build a 10ish point lead, go cold while Steph goes off.

 

[GoldGloveschmidt]

James Jones brought in too many soft players. You need guys with an edge and a willingness to play hard and drive to the rim. Book and CP3 are the only guys on our team who look like they want to win.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah, not buying that he seemed to play well pretty consistently with the biggest ball hog in the league Harden.

 

[Finito]

How on earth did we get here. Never in my life have I seen spiral down like this.

I don’t want to hear a thing about this team being good or the playoffs. This is a bad team

And both suck

I think mikal and cam do too, but they are really just shooters and if their shot is off the team is in trouble.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns should have probably played Nader more (5-9) for 12 points as he played confident and was not afraid to drive the ball inside.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

he has missed an open corner 3 in the last 2 minutes in 3 consecutive games.

For a dead eye shooter that’s a bad sign about nerves.

 

[BC867]

What is ridiculous about knowing who is running the offense? With CP3 not sharing that role,
we were not blown out. And could have won if Ayton played offense.

dude the last seven games it’s been oh we could of won is this or that happened fact is we didn’t win because this whole team sucks

Saying this whole teams sucks is too vague. We are a very unbalanced team.

Expecting that Dario is going to lead us to the playoffs when he returns is an
empty hope. He is hardly the strong big man we need.
