Game Day: Suns (42-35) @ Thunder (38-40), Sun 4/2/23

I feel like KD likes driving and dishing to Biz down near the rim. He's done it a few times since he's been back. Wonder if that plays a role in bringing Biz back in the offseason or replacing him with someone similar (hopefully not DeAndre Jordan).

He likes to do the same thing with Landale.

Looking more and More like it'll be the Lakers for us in Rd 1. Lakers-Nuggets-Grizz or Kings. Never easy...but let's get it

You think Lakers get to 5?

This the type of stuff that scares me little. Ultimately I think we figure it out but with only a handful of games left, I can’t lie and say it doesn’t bother me a little tho.

I'm not really bothered by this stuff because of the context.

Ross didn't have it going offensively and we know he's terrible on defense, so Monty switched him for Shamet. They split 23 minutes between them.

Payne had 5 fouls in 9 minutes and Paul only played 32 minutes, so someone had to get some burn and it happened to be Ish.

Huh, seems like the coach is doing a pretty good job after all.

[Superbone]

Even if he weren't on the Suns, I'd like to see KD put 40 on these dumbass booing fans.

35/5/5/2 and a win will have to do.

[Superbone]

SGA is annoying to watch.

Apparently he can get a basket or a foul every time down if he wants.

[Superbone]

Ayton aggressively grabbed a rebound and drew a foul!!!11

Nice to see Ayton have a better game.

Same ol' story with him, but yeah, at least he wasn't completely aloof out there.

[Superbone]

JFC Ayton nearly blew another bunny.

He was unimpeded and still didn't dunk it. I just don't understand.

There is no understanding it. It just is.

[Superbone]

Suns still undefeated in games KD plays. That's a crazy stat.

It's no coincidence.

I really hope they do something to change the rule when offensive players initiate all the contact…it’s just not basketball. It was pretty funny to see how reliant SGA is on contact when Okogie pulled the chair on his drive and SGA fell over.

This is pretty crazy

If they win out they're 5. Will depend on Clippers vs Lakers on Weds

We play them on Friday so in that sense control our own destiny so to speak. They have Utah twice who should be in tank mode the rest of the season if they are smart so may come down to us.

[Mori Chu]

What if we just keep our "undefeated with KD playing" record going all the way through the playoffs?

[ShelC]

Here's the block by KD that sealed the game. A few things...he legit pushes himself to get back on defense as he wasn't running full speed with the play. Then his reaction after he realizes he blocked it - nice to see him get fired up like that. A lot of players, especially some stars, wouldn't have hustled to make the play and would've conceded the lay up.

Fo, fo, fo, fo, fo. I think I like it. We could one up Moses Malone.

Yup Yup
Been a fan of his game for quite some time and it is gratifying watching him so "the little things" for my Suns
The passing really is catching my eye as well. We knew he would open up things for DA but didn't have him as the person actually making the key reads/passes so often. Figured it would be more defense rotating to him and freeing up DA
