Ayton is frustrating
He’s not been great tonight. Adams and Noel are in his head a bit, I think
He's been one handing everything.

Since getting his first rebound in the third quarter, Ayton now has 8rebs and will probably get 10+ by the end of the game. Lol.

These stupid passes they keep doing to people that are in the worst possible position are going to make die and early death.

Just bad turnovers on offense, wasted possessions that keep giving the Thunder chances.

Part of the reason for the low rebound numbers is the defensive switch on the PnR. The Suns are OK with the switch because he can defend well on the perimeter most of the time. The problem is that it puts a guard, usually Booker or Rubio, with the responsibility of boxing out Adams or Noel. That's a recipe for failure.

Ayton wide open in the paint and Book passes crosscourt instead.

Playing like idiots the last 3 minutes. Fuck
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Severe lack of mental toughness from this group.

Little mistakes and lapses during the game really hurt now.

Another depressing loss. Booker misses 4 straight.

Out worked all game and didn't deserve to win despite having the more talented team.

Well this didn’t help Devin’s case over Chris Paul.

Thunder defense was great tonight, great on the boards, we didn't have much breathing room but I also felt we didn't play with much urgency. We don't need trades, we need to get healthy.

Rubio made the absolute dumbest passes the whole game. It would’ve probably been better if they kept Ty in.
