[Mainstreet]

Payne getting to the rim for 2.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 29 - Thunder 17

 

[Dback Jon]

Up by 12 but doesn’t feel lIke we played well

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Suns making a mistake not putting the Thunder away early.

Thunder are on the 2nd of a back to back. This will eventually turn into a blowout, but you can't expect to always put a team away early.

 

[Mainstreet]

I don't like the way the Suns are playing sloppy. Don't want to play down to the level of competition. Luckily Thunder are missing shots.

Relax. This game is already over.

 

[Chaplin]

Payton is terrible.

Thunder are a young team. They're unlikely to get tired. Don't want to give them confidence.

 

[Dback Jon]

Payton is terrible.

Turnover machine

 

[Chaplin]

Get Payton off the floor for chrissake. I’d rather Wainwright was out there.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Payton is terrible.

I just can't figure out why he's out there...

 

[Cheesebeef]

Payton is atrocious.

And this game ain’t over. The Thunder gaffe actually been playing decent ball the last ten games.

 

[Dback Jon]

Horrible opening.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I just can't figure out why he's out there...

Tape recordings of Sarver is my only guess.

It takes extra energy to keep fighting from behind. They might be able to make runs to keep it close, but they will run out of energy in the process. I mean we are a fairly young team and we look way less energetic on the 2nd of a b2b.

 

[Chaplin]

Cam is on fire

 

[Dback Jon]

Thank goodness for Cam Johnson

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson is shooting well with 10 points already.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton made a jumper!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Payton... oy.

 

[Dback Jon]

Unforced error

 

[Dback Jon]

Rebound?

 

[Mainstreet]

It's so dangerous to let Thunder hang around.

 

[Chaplin]

4 player sub for Monty.

 

[Dback Jon]

This is why you have to it them away when you can
