Game Day: Suns (44-37) @ Thunder (64-17), Sun 4/12/26

[Charlie Smithy!]

NBA superstar Ryan Dunn

Early favorite for the Alec Peters Award.

Jamaree Bouyea closing fast on Dunn

The First Annual Alec Peters Last Game of the Season Performer Final Finish

1. Bouyea 27 pts, 9 ast, 5 reb, 2 blk
2, Dunn 20 pts, 11 reb, 5 stl, 1 blk
3. Maluach 18 points, 14 reb, 1 blk
4. Brea 20 pts, 5 reb, 3 ast
5. Fleming 16 pts, 5 reb, 6 reb, 2 stl, 1 blk
6. Coffey 17 pts, 3 reb, 3 ast
7. Huntley 10 pts, 4 reb

I gave it to Bouyea because Dunn was a rotation most of the year. Maluach was a clear #3 with Brea looking a lot more comfortable out there.

How do you feel our team will fare in the play in games?

Nice dominant win, 135-103. Dunn was great with 20, 11, and 5 (!!!). Maluach had 18 and 14, Booyea 27 and 9 (!!), and Lobe Brea had 20, 5, and 3 in easily his best game as an NBA pro. Dunnwas the highlight for me, playing assertively and taking it to the basket many times.

Suns over Blazers by 25

45 wins, pretty decent.

Suns about to lose both play-in games

That don’t sound decent *sigh*

[Shabazz]

That was an enjoyable game. Everyone who played like ass (or Bunnz) in the Laker game showed out in this one.

[BlaCkAdDa]

I haven't watched yet but have been screaming for Dunn to get more burn just because he hustles and gets rebounds and isn't a traffic cone to shoot over.

I note he was shown as playing SG .. did that change his spots on offense significantly more than the usual stand in the corner?

We've seen all season that our deep bench is just better than other team's 9-15. I sure hope we can put these guys in for spot minutes in the play-in.

[JJ Slim]

What is sad is that recently if our normal starters had played against the other team's scrubs like this we would have lost.

[ShelC]

Glad the young guys got some run and produced even tho this was more of a preseason kind of game. Those reps are important tho for sure.

He was way more involved in the offense.

[Superbone]

Loved the Brea interview. "We did a good job imitating the "real guys." LOL.

Man, that Topić dude is one ugly guy with one ugly haircut.

I just watched the Thunder broadcast highlights (thanks, Shel!) I don't think they have any idea who Fleming is. They didn't mention his name once. Also funny that they mention that most people don't know these Suns players since they're deep on the bench. Well, same thing applied to the Thunder players other than a couple of them (Dort, Williams).

And then they lamented that the play-in and first round is no longer being broadcast by the local broadcast teams. The Suns broadcast did the same thing. And it's too bad. I guesss Prime has exclusivity for the play-in games. I find the Prime broadcasts the hardest to watch. The interface is just horrible. Tough to scrub. I really like the "key plays" that YouTube TV has where you can quickly watch the highlights of other games. Of course, I would never do that with a Suns game.

I guess my nickname for him, "Hot Topić," won't stick?

I find Peacock’s much worse.

I'll tell you one thing. That guy, who I had never heard of, that called the Rockets/Suns game on Peacock was the worst.

Sorry late to the party on this one. How did Huntley look?
