One on one bullcrap basketball.

 

[Dback Jon]

Wow! Challenge worked

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty wins challenge. WHEW.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Monty wins challenge. WHEW.

It was obviously not a foul anymore than Booker had an offensive foul when he was fouled

 

[Proximo]

What a horrible way to end a game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Too close for comfort.

 

[az240zz]

Lucked out. They just can't close trams out. Frustrating

 

[Cheesebeef]

Sloppy end but a W and back in 1st place in the league.

 

[Dback Jon]

That SHOULD do it

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns Win!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 123 - Thunder 120

 

[Mainstreet]

OKC must be a curse for Suns because they hadn't won there since 2010... until tonight!

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Horrible reffing to end it. It's natural to kick your leg out when shooting a fadeaway and it is completely unnatural to jump 3 feet sideways going up for a jump shot. And they wonder why they have a player telling them they are morons...

It's been a long time since Ayton has been this ineffective.

Looked like rookie ayton lol

 

[Covert Rain]

This team seems to have a thing for letting teams stay close down the stretch. Ayton has shown up on the boards but we need more easy buckets from him to finish teams off.

Ayton looked more effective as a rookie.

Thunder players were driving right by him like he wasn't there or worse yet... they didn't care.

Another bad night of closing. Up 16 or was it 19? book made a lot of dumb decisions there. I get it some questionable calls but you don’t need to add fuel to the fire.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This team is so deep.

 

[elindholm]

I know we don't want to admit it, but Booker is a liability at the ends of games. If Paul is healthy and functional, Booker should be benched in crunch time in favor of Carter or someone else who can keep himself engaged mentally.

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought Booker had a good night with 32 points and 6 assists.

It hurt not having Cam Payne.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench played extremely well tonight. They all contributed and all had plus (+/-).

Paul was the only starter with a plus (+/-) with a +2.

This is too extreme. he shouldn’t be benched. He just shouldn’t have the ball in his hands. Let him be someone CP3 can set up for a jumper, but he’s just not Dwayne Wade who can play hero ball snd close efficiently.

Suns need super dario to return!!

Rookie Ayton was pretty damn good
