Suns @ Thunder Wednesday game thread December 10th, 2025: Cup game

Clearly, OKC is out of our league. I don't like our chances but we've already won a couple of can't-win games so here's hoping.

We're playing with house money at this point. No shame in losing but a win would be amazing. We brought them to final 30 seconds last time we faced them.

I'm having a blast watching them this season and it isn't just about winning for me. I absolutely love seeing the effort and the fact that our opponents have to worry about us on both ends of the court.

Winning is great, much better than losing, but these guys are just so much fun to watch and it starts with Dillon Brooks. If you'd have asked me in August I would have said I'd trade the guy for a couple of 2nd round picks, now I wouldn't trade him for anything less than a star package (if then).

Nope! Both teams are in the NBA.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker is still questionable for the game tonight.

I am not satisfied with fun teams after 57 years of coming up short. Even though I find this refreshing and fun compared to last year? This has to lead somewhere, or this optimism will fade fast for me.

For now, I am just enjoying what is happening, but I am being measured about what this really means for the franchise. Maybe we just don't know what the ceiling is for this team yet. Who knows. Just living in the moment for now.

 

[Superbone]

I'd be surprised if Booker played.

Yeah, you have to make sure to keep that despair in your back pocket at all times. Don't enjoy this team too much!

I don't know. You're the one listening.

It's not really about that. I have been burned too many times. Just trying to stay measured while also trying to enjoy the moment.

That's good. Just don't expect this season's team to win the NBA Championship. Just making the playoffs would be gravy.

im going to start celebrating at 30 wins lol - every game

Nobody expects that. However, I do expect for them to build on this or there is ultimately no point.

I think kicking back and enjoying what is happening is the right approach for the Suns.

Team basketball is back and there are no unrealistic expectations. So we can enjoy the game and players for what they are.

i might get a bottle of cheap (non headache inducing) champagne for each win after we reach 30 - because each win will be a very small but significant miracle

 

[Mainstreet]

Dillon Brooks describes the personality of the team... "Gritty, confident and we ain't scare of nobody."

I'll really start celebrating at 32 wins as that is when my over bet pays.

I debated it and didn't do it. I wish I had.

Thunder should 'handle business' against Suns

Bettors should once again feel supremely confident backing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder to cover the spread when they take the floor Wednesday evening against the Suns.

The spread is -14.5 currently on FanDuel. The Thunder sure didn't beat the spread last meeting.
