Game Day: Suns (25-24) @ Thunder (39-9), Wed 2/5/25

[SunsShine]

The first half was good. The second half was atrocious.

Consistent with the majority of the games this season.

Could be worse, I guess.

Mike Budenholzer on if this team is fixable: "I think if you lean into the first half and how we played for big parts if that, I think we've talked about some through the year, doing it for 48 minutes. Finding sustainability both ends of the court. We've just got to keep pushing, keep working."

In other words, no. We're going to see the same mediocrity the rest of the way with maybe incremental progress at best.

Great to hear. I’m pretty sure this is the first time he’s made that observation.

Oh, wait, he said they’ve been talking about it all year. Good, that means it will help this time.

They could save a lot of hassle by recording one of these postgame press conferences and replaying it after every loss.

Save even more time by never winning so we can use the recording after every game.

You literally got me laughing out loud, Cap.
