Steve Albert just about blew my eardrums out screaming about the pace at the end of the half. Having some sort of announcer orgasm. STFU dude. PLEASE.

He was literally screaming into the microphone. Really man?

Bender had two blocks and the scorer didn't record either of them. How can we trust stats when they use someone local and no one ever checks the numbers. I just can't believe how much importance is put on stats and yet they aren't ever accurate.

Agreed. It's a joke. It should be like baseball where they score an error or reversing it after further review after the play. Someone should be evaluating the game and changing the official stats. We put such a premium on statistics these days (which is VERY American) yet struggle to accurately track them at times.

Really? They didn't record both of his blocks?!

The halftime trampoline dunk show by this OKC group is ridiculous. I've seen some dunks and tricks that I've never seen before. And I've watched a ton of the Suns versions pulled off. Unreal.

Edit: And then the mascot totally screws up the easiest stunt and throws the whole group off.

First quarter shooting - 16-23, 69.6%
Second quarter shooting - 5-26, 19.2%

A fast pace becomes a bad thing when you're shooting 19%.

Yeah but quick misses lead to a lot of misses. We missed way more shots than OKC that quarter. Moral victories.

High fives all around!

Double tech wih Westbrook just running his mouth the whole time? Wow.

Especially after they let Westbrook run his mouth after ramming into TJ.

Stop these weak ass fouls. Put Westbrook on his ass if you are going to foul him. Especially with how much he has been running his mouth.

How did TJ get a tech? Are you kidding me? He didn't say a thing and Westbrook kept bitching.

FG's -

Warren - 9/11, 81.8%
Everybody else - 15/42, 35.7%

Warren just went to the floor to make a steal, then Bledsoe came down 1 on 4 and missed a 3.

I'm echoing EDC and others. Definitely watching a slightly delayed feed. I'll refresh the posts before I chime in

The refs bitched out. Basically Westbrook was running his mouth but they gave him the star treatment and called double tech. Then they watched the replay and realized TJ kinda threw the ball at him but then if they then T'd him up for that he would be gone. They realized they kinda fucked up and didn't want to make it worse so they removed the double techs and gave juts one to TJ for throwing the ball.

Thus letting Westbrook be the aggressor and run his mouth for the last 2 minutes without any penalty.

It had to be for slapping the ball in the direction of Westbrook after the foul was called.

Dayuuuum. That block on Booker by Oladipo.

I missed most of the first half at work, but I'm loving the score as I turn it on in the 3rd! Go Suns! There are few players I like beating more than Westbrook.

I love attack Knight. Much better than long range Knight. He's looked great tonight. If we can get this Brandon Knight off the bench we'll be all the better for it.

He should have dumped it off the TJ.
