[Yuma]

Gotta feel good with so many guys out, we made them sweat it out.

 

[Mainstreet]

I hope Gillespie is okay.

That tight game got us in to the Emerites playoffs.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Plus side is that Denver also played a tight game tonight. Gives us a better chance tomorrow.

Old NBA would have hammered Sga until he didn’t want to “earn” being fouled.

I hate how he stalls a lot after being fouled. Anyone ever notice how gassed Sga is.

 

[95pro]

A small critique is that Brooks took some shots in the 4th that were just out of rhythm and they were some big misses.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

im not mad - we were tested and came up worthy - grayson dunn blah blah we still played still suffering thru our 3 point drought - god bless collin gillespie btw

we fought our purple and orange asses off - okc knows there's a different squad under those uniforms

Side Dressing
williams came in early in the 4th and was gone with around 4 or 5 minutes to go?

was this in-game strategy or might we see williams against denver tomorrow night? because strategically speaking it was fine - i can't explain it but we caught up taking our best rebounder (14) and rim defender off the floor - okc does stretch teams???

ye was phenomenal again - book scores in the first again then fell off again - god bless collin gillespie - we tied scorewise in the 2nd half but the early turnovers really did us in

ott - can't say it enough - gets the most out of his guys no matter who they are - everybody plays with a purpose and are confident in their mission- ott obviously gave ye the green light - dude has been cash money - gbcg

still hurts tho

(gbcg will now be short for god bless collin gillespie)

 

[95pro]

Boo yuh!

Suns found a guy with poise. Okc did not respect him at all, but like a pro does, he made them pay.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

lol they said we might face okc again in the wildcard round - bring'em on

 

[SirStefan32]

That was significantly closer than I expected it to be. Solid game- no shame in losing like this. I hope everyone is OK- I think we lost Goodwin and Gillepsie.

 

[Yuma]

Hopefully we have some guys back by then.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

I think we were down 14 heading into the 4th

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

book 5 turnovers - only 1 in first half

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

gillespie has to be our starting pg till jalen returns

ott can start grayson over oneale no problem

gillespie book grayson dtv williams = deadly

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns advance in the NBA Cup Knockout Rounds as the Western Conference Wild Card.

i can't believe i don't want dunn to start but if we're ok on defense gillespie opens everything up on offense - this is such a cool team - so deep yet not deep at all

 

[Mainstreet]

Jordan Ott says Goodwin was fine in the locker room.

Team runs so much smoother when the offense doesn’t have to run Booker-ball. Especially while he’s sucking golf balls thru garden-hoses out there like he has the last two weeks.

I hope we can weather the storm of these injuries with this schedule because if we can and maintain this record or around .500, we could do some damage once everyone’s healthy and in synch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns will face OKC on December 10th in bracket play.

Whatever the Suns had last season, they might have given it to the Clippers.

Beal?

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal?

If I were to name it, I would call it Star Syndrome, looking at all the former All-Stars on their roster.

 

[JCSunsfan]

This is a loss, true. But both teams played extremely well. Ours is a developing team and this loss was good for that development. They walked away from that game knowing they can compete with the best team in the league.

And we are developing players. This system puts players in the place to succeed. Can’t say enough about Ott.

Our bench is developing nicely, now we will just have to see what we look like with Green, Dunn, and Grayson available.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

I was only able to catch the last 5 seconds of the game after working on my car for 10 straight hours, but it sounds like I missed a doozy. Too bad we weren't able to hand the Thunder the 2nd loss of the season, but this one has to boost the confidence of our guys to hang tight against the best team in the league. Especially with Devin continuing his poor shooting streak.
