Booker is terrible lately. Can't even make a fucking free throw.

SGA is a foul baiting little bitch.

Who the heck is scouting for the Suns recently? Bouyea is looking like a keeper. Like a Barbosa with shorter arms but more court sense.

Nice resilient 1st half by the fellas
We shouldn't be surprised at this point

The first 4mins of the 3rd quarter has been fairly annoying with the ref whistles
They are the defending champions and have an identify as a all time tough defense but Geeezus
Call a foul sometimes.....

OKC up 13, Suns call timeout. Feels like the game is slipping away here in the 3rd.

I really don't think Booker has it in him to carry a good team. He's a prolific scorer, but he doesn't put the team on his back when they need him to. He's a Robin, not a Batman.

Of course tonight we need a Superman.

OKC is historically good.

They finished last year with the best scoring differential in NBA history, and they're even better this year apparently.

They play the way I have always wanted the Suns to play. And thankfully, this iteration of the Suns does this. Just not as well.

Playing much better without Booker. He's fucking clown shoes.

Suns are hanging in there.

I don't think many (any?) of us thought Gillespie and Williams would be this good this year.

And the contributions from Goodwin and Bouyea are just gravy.

They play a lot better when the ball moves around rather than sticking in one player's hands. (Brooks is guilty of that sometimes too)

We all thought it would be a team that Booker scores 30+ every game and we lose a lot. Both are wrong.

SGA is just a killer.

33.3 minutes a game, 32.6 points a game.

Gotta say, this Suns team has had about 7-8 moments when they could have hung their heads and given up, and they absolutely fucking will not. They keep clawing their way back and have had it within 3-4 points a few times here in the 4th. Love their toughness and perseverance.

Especially being short handed…. Any loss less than 10 is a win in my book.

Wow, we had em within 1, Brooks misses a jumper that could have given us the lead. Then SGA hits a nasty 3 and they get a steal and draw a foul. Oof. But we were THIS CLOSE to beating this juggernaut of a team.
