Suns @ Thunder Sunday game thread 4-3-2022

[DJ Tabooh]

Why isn’t Holiday getting any burn in these small guard lineups? He played really well last time against OKC.

Suns letting the Thunder hit threes.

It's a good question. Holiday has played well.

 

[Dback Jon]

How the hell was that a foul on Paul?

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet has looked good shooting.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns defense is simply not there.

 

[Finito]

Can’t kick your leg out

 

[Finito]

Shamet looks really good

I do not need to see elf ahead of Holiday

 

[Chaplin]

I can’t fathom why Payton would get minutes over Holiday except to speculate that it’s an audition. We know that we’ll have Holiday in the playoffs, but if Payton isn’t worth the roster spot, certainly Ish or Iffe might be.

Holiday should be ahead of Payton. I'm not sure about Monty's thinking.

Halftime:

Suns 53 - Thunder 52

 

[Mainstreet]

Teams have figured out shooting threes and exerting more energy is the way to beat the Suns.

 

[AZ Native]

Exerting more energy is essential to any win.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson is 1-8 from the field and 0-6 from three.

 

[Chaplin]

Cam Johnson is 1-8 from the field and 0-6 from three.

He’s still got to keep shooting it. He’s gotta get his rhythm back.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns not getting much from their bench. Craig has 8 of the 15 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Center used to look like the Suns strongest position. It doesn't feel that way anymore.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Doesn’t make sense to ever have Payton on the floor. And it’s been so long since we’ve played Holiday, that it doesn’t make sense to me it’s just throwing Payton a bone. Holiday could use one too. Maybe we see that next game.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Thunder are 11-25 from three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns content to shoot threes is a recipe for a loss.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns keep shooting and missing threes.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns content to shoot threes is a recipe for a loss.

Yup.

 

[Cheesebeef]

As usual, Monty waits too long.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Looks like we’re just going through the motions.
