Game Day: Thunder (28-30) @ Suns (32-28), Fri 2/24/23

[Flagrant Fowl]

I'd usually be weary of a game like this against a lower seeded team without their best player, but I think the Suns will bring the intensity tonight.

As opposed to the Clippers game.

Right. I said pretty much the same thing before that game and well...

It does seem like the first 6-8 minutes of the game have an oversized impact on the overall effort. If the shots aren't falling we tend to see a lower intensity level.

Really glad they have JJ there to balance the awful Jefferson color commentary.

[TOO]

This team looks like it's waiting for Durant to come back. Something is off, the intensity is bad.

[Shabazz]

I don’t like how slow we’re playing since the trade.

[TOO]

KD looks high as a kite lol.

The healthier Paul gets the slower we go, it's weird really.

The pace was fine against the Kings.

Exactly!

[Uncle_Gene]

Josh Okogie at the right place at the right time.

Nice putback.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Okogie has developed a nice chemistry with Ayton on those drive and dump passes.

[Uncle_Gene]

Cameron Payne for one, two,.......

THRREEEEEEE !!!!!!

[Flagrant Fowl]

Would like to see Ayton take advantage of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl...

[Shabazz]

Ross getting cooked on D. On and off the ball.

[Uncle_Gene]

I wouldn't use the challenge right now if I were Monty.

[TOO]

Would like to see Ayton take advantage of Jeremiah Robinson-Earl...

Saving himself for the playoffs.

That was weeks ago.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Terrible foul call and probably a poor challenge.

Regardless of how long ago, they've played four games since the trade (I don't count the Hawks game). The pace was also fine against the Pacers.
