Suns @ Thunder Friday game thread, November 28th, 2025

when book is clicking our offense is clicking - we need to be clicking at the end of the first half instead of squandering leads we worked hard on - hard on hahaha haha - but for real we need him to get back in kill mode during the 2 minute drill

I think the Fire Department has been pretty good at holding and even building leads but we need to get healthy again to up our depth again in the bench unit.

we get to compete against the best tonight on their home court - measure ourselves - technically we won our last match up but we haven't we haven't been playing our best basketball for a few games now

i want to see the focus return for long stretches - i want to see someone other than dtv land their plane in a thunder player's emotional headspace - and some team defense jumping passing lanes because okc likes to moves the rock

most of all i wanna see devin booker - he and sga have more of a mutual respect than a full blown rivalry - there's no reason for book to play shook tonight - book only had 1 turnover on wednesday but that shot needs to drop in oklahoma and please book... for the love of ball please don't whine IN okc tonight - just don't do it

book is in this pattern of scoring in the 1st quarter and snoring in the 2nd - he plays defense the whole time and runs the team but what we need is that unstoppable scorer to help us close the half and he's just not doing it

my take (because ott is already lowkey experimenting with it) is ott might not play book the whole 1st quarter tonight - it's trickier minute-wise with grayson out but something needs to change

both vogel and bud tried taking book out in the 1st quarter but it never took

Injuries will do that to a team. The loss of Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn hurt, not to mention the absence of Jalen Green.

I'm watching UA vs ASU do not care about this game as much. Play the rookies because a great Booker is not going to win this one

that's not good - team needs those effort guys

 

[Covert Rain]

Grayson is still out? Jeebus. Dunn, Livers....sheesh. This likely is to be an ugly game unless guys step up big time.

 

[Mainstreet]

At least Grayson Allen seems to be improving as he played full court today.

Welp, I was definitely wrong on Williams sitting. Hope he’s not wasted in a game that could get away from us.

2 steals already for okc

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Williams playing holmgren out on the 3 who misses the 3 - richards can't do that effectively
