Whew. Spurs so grindy and gritty. Every shot bitterly contested, and they defend the paint like it’s their sister’s virtue. They are playing pretty physical too!

That we won without Jalen Williams and AJ Mitchell, and with Shai struggling, is a testament to our incredible depth!

Hate on them if you want, say the refs are overwhelmingly in our favor if that’s what you think, but OK is pretty proud of their team tonight.

Overstepped with “no one.” But one person isn’t an entire team. The entire OKC team is a bunch of Vlades.

I got a kick out of who was committing these so-called "dirty fouls."

MIKAL.

Mikal Bridges has played in 709 consecutive games.

Got to have a coach willing to call for that. I don't see Ott doing that. I can see Vogel doing that but he's only one since Monty who might.

All a coach has to do, is tell the players to commit a couple of hard fouls.

They should know since they have been playing the game all their life.

I think Wemby’s height/length kinda hurts him offensively. Smaller players can get position on him so easily and the steps he has to take with his giant limbs are slow. If he’s closer to 7ft than 7’6” he’d be better on the paint IMO.

For the record, I don't think the non-goal tend call was blatant. You could have called offensive goal tending as well. You could say they cancel each other out.

And yeah, Wemby isn't doing himself any favors staying so far from the basket and shooting jumpers. He really can't get closer to the hoop? He went from looking dominant to quite average last game.

The Suns supposedly had two enforcers on their roster. Who would have guessed.

Maybe but they can't be starters or contributing major minutes, like we did, and also act as an enforcer.

Technique is everything but the Suns need more from their centers than that.
