Good to see the Thunder have to keep their starters in and we are still fighting. That's all I ask for.

Baby steps. We're not getting blown out, guys are hustling, Igor has the right people on the court. The Thunder are just a better team and Paul George is much better than anyone on our team right now.

At least it wasn't a laugher. I'm really impressed by the Thunder's defense and rebounding. They are legit good this year, unlike last year with Melo.

How good would we be if Booker was good?

At least competitive I think.

Except he played Bender who is absolute garbage. We should've kept Chriss and jettisoned Bender. At least Chriss could grab a board or get a block. I like what I'm seeing out of Ayton, Warren, Bridges and Jackson. Booker has been off, but he'll fix himself. We'd really benefit from a decent ballhandler and some dead eye shooting. Not sure why we don't send Bender down to the G league or just cut him already.

Yeah, I was fine with that game. The Suns showed great effort throughout and kept it close down to the wire. They just happened to hit a buzz saw in the 10 in a row Thunder.

things definitely got ugly in the 3rd but as others said we did keep battling. in the end Thunder did make some tough baskets late.
I saw a stat that Book is shooting 39% since coming back from the hamstring , don't think there are still lingering effects but never know
Bridges really doing well and when he gets stronger things will only get better. Quiet game for Josh on O but he was kinda all over the place like Mikal and I just checked box score and both of them actually had 4 stls each.

I’m fine with JJ showing some fire. Warren should have come towards the pass rather than away from it.

The least of our worries? Canaan was terrible out there and sucks @$$. I do agree that Booker isn't right, right now.

Bridges is playing very well and making it difficult for Igor not to start him.

Imagine if we had a top 20 point guard.

We will have one soon, I guess Sarver is running out of patience and will pressure JJ to aquire one. I dont think we spend all season without a competent PG.

Some interesting stats that stood out to me:
Ayton a +3 in 35 minutes when all other starters were -8 to -15.
Bridges/Jackson combined for 8 steals and 3 blocks.
Booker tied his career high with 12 assists--which he had just set in the previous game. And only 1 turnover tonight.

Unfortunately, Ayton was one rebound short of a double double and thus ended his streak.
