Suns @ Thunder 2026 Playoffs Sunday Game 1 Thread, 4-19-2026

Wth Caruso was out of bounds on that rebound. Or travel. Wow

 

[Covert Rain]

Ott is going to do nothing about the size issue or he is going to wait until it’s too late.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

If only we had a couple tall guys on the bench with freakishly long reach to fight for rebounds……. Oh wait…. NVM…

 

[Mainstreet]

And they can’t wrangle a rebound for the life of them either. The lack of size in Ott’s line ups he is currently going with is comical.

Ott must feel the size is not ready to play.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Not ready to say that yet. Ott has done a lot with little this season

His line up choices and schemes have been horrendous as of recent.

 

[TJ]

SGA is a foul merchant

 

[JosiahLee]

Booker is straight up a ghost of his former self. This game might get ugly quickly.

Shout out to Jalen Green for his back to back 30 point games to get us here though.

 

[95pro]

Sga can extend that arm, hit someone in the nuts and still get away with it.

What he played some solid D and got some good looks so far.

Clearly doing nothing isn’t and hasn’t been working either.

end of the first suns 20 thunder 35 lol chet with the full court pass buzzer beating 3

Already? This usually comes later in the game.

 

[95pro]

Oso had all day to catch that

He has no sense of urgency. It’s not fair to Jalen Green who’s playing with so much heart and energy

 

[95pro]

Where is Flem???

 

[nashman]

So tired of Oso would rather see Mal and Fleming even the other 6’10 rookie we got! We need to play some damn size that’s not useless on offense!

 

[Mainstreet]

We do agree, the rookies need to get minutes.

 

[TJ]

Oso sucks, and Maluach not supplanting him in the lineup is not encouraging

 

[Proximo]

Lol. There is no solution on the roster.

It was too late once we got this matchup.

 

[Cheesebeef]

If we just get steamrolled in four games and don’t even give Fleming/Malauch a taste of playoff intensity, I’m not sure what the team really gets out of what’s likely to be a brief post-season appearance.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So tired of Oso would rather see Mal and Fleming even the other 6’10 rookie we got! We need to play some damn size that’s not useless on offense!

Same. They’re the future and this playoff appearance should all be about getting the future of the team experience.

I don't get it. Yes, they are rookies, but height still matters in basketball.

 

[Proximo]

Where is Flem???

You will see him after halftime after we are down by 30.

 

[nashman]

He has no sense of urgency. It’s not fair to Jalen Green who’s playing with so much heart and energy

It’s not fair to the fresh guy that sat most of the season… GTFOH with that nonsense… first qtr getting blitzed with terrible officiating and this is your take away lol crazy…

 

[JosiahLee]

Already? This usually comes later in

What he played some solid D and got some good looks so far.

Careless with the ball…multiple turnovers already that led to points and momentum shift.

He had to be more than a role player…which is mostly what he’s been the last several games.
