Game Day: Thunder (32-25) @ Suns (30-28), Thurs 2/26/15
Time: 8:30 pm AZ (7:30 pm PT/10:30 pm ET)
Place: US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: TNT
This game is basically the playoffs tonight. If we win, we still have a chance. If we lose, it's pretty much over. Westbrook has been playing lights out. He had a triple double in their last game. New uniforms tonight on national TV. Should be a fun one.
Go Suns!!!

This Westbrook guy is pretty good. If he practices and puts the work in, he may be as good as Goran Dragic one day.

For some reason I am really looking forward to this game. 4 games into to the EB-BK experiment they should start feeling more comfortable with each other. I expect a track meet, no prediction on winner, but I expect the Suns to show up for this one and it to come down to the last 3mins of the 4th quarter.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

We'll lose if Horny continues to stick with his vets. The kids are playing better. Give them a chance!Sunsfan4life wrote:For some reason I am really looking forward to this game. 4 games into to the EB-BK experiment they should start feeling more comfortable with each other.

But we'll lose anyway. Let's be real people.

I think we are all just a big computer simulation.

Dang, this is going to be an intense game. As Bone says, if we want to go to the postseason, we pretty much have to win this game. OKC is playing surprisingly well given that Durant is out again with soreness in his foot full of screws. It seems like Westbrook has really put the team on his back.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop; that is, I think Westbrook is working himself too hard and will get injured again.

At least we know no why Durant was acting so strangely in the last couple of weeks.Mori Chu wrote:Dang, this is going to be an intense game.

Turns out he had a screw loose.

We need to find a way to put up more points than them through a combination of a good offensive game and then limiting how many points they score.
I think the way to win this game is is for the Suns to score more points ( layups, midrange jumpers, three point shots, FTs ] and them scoring LESS [ missed shots, turnovers, etc ] . If our players can use their bodies to get them to not put up as many points we have a chance at limiting their offense. However, if they do the same to us they may limit our offense.
How I see it - we just need to score more points than them. Thats it, end of story.

You're clearly just ripping off Bill Jones Smith of the Basketball Times-News with these "strategies." Try coming up with some original material, dude.Robot wrote:We need to find a way to put up more points than them through a combination of a good offensive game and then limiting how many points they score.

Bledsoe had problems handling the ball last night against Jameer Nelson. So this should be a fun one.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of Brandon Knight and the kids getting playing time (Warren and Archie). I don't think we'll win though, we're coming off a back to back game where Denver remained competitive throughout.

Agreed. I was referring to Westbrook potentially being able to rip it from Bledsoe at a high rate.INFORMER wrote:Westbrook isn't exactly the posterchild for ball security.djy2j wrote:Bledsoe had problems handling the ball last night against Jameer Nelson. So this should be a fun one.

iirc, Bledsoe's play has an inverse relationship to the succulence of the opponent.djy2j wrote:Agreed.
