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

[BooksOrangePlanet]

they're already talking about spurs lukas

 

[Hoop Head]

So the greatest team of all time but just sadly in OKC so no hype. In NY, LA or Chicago...wow

Yeah last year they set the league record for margin of victory and point differential. Hali got almost all the hype throughout the playoffs though.

I hope CP3 goes back there. Maybe that will get them some press.

They do but will all of them stay healthy enough that’s usually the thing. Or they wrap up top seed and rest guys but yeah if they stay healthy they have a shot to shatter the record!

They’ve already not been healthy. Jalen Williams is their second best player and he missed the first 20 games of the season and they went 19-1! They’re crazy deep.

Getting the top seed early and resting guys is probably the bigger barrier to getting 75 wins, but how early does a coach call it a season and wait for the playoffs without worrying about too much sitting around and rust? I mean… it probably doesn’t really matter. There is no way in hell any 8 seed beats this juggernaut even if they took two months off and went out there and spotted them a ten point lead every game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

And they could easily pull off a trade with all their draft assets and not miss a beat.

But why bother? All that does is keep them dominant now while sacrifice the future… as opposed to staying dominant now and likely dominating the future with all their draft assets.

Probably… but they also lack the high-flying excitement that capture the love of so many fans which is why they won’t get that kind of hype. They’re just like the most well-rounded team ever.

It's only a option if they feel they are missing a beat or have an injury.

idk what happened- we started playing defense- cut the lead to 11 but it just pissed them off - ultra focus mode and boom 30 point lead - incredible okc

 

[nashman]

Apparently they never foul either our guys are just falling by themselves…. Joke!

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

Halftime: OKC 74, PHX 48
Brooks: 14 Pts, 4-12 FG
Allen: 8 Pts, 3-5 FG, 2-4 3P
Bouyea: 8 Pts, 3-3 FG, 2-2 3P
Gilgeous-Alexander: 17 Pts, 6 Ast, 6-8 FG

Thunder are 13-for-19 from 3 and end the 2Q on a 20-6 run

 

[carrrnuttt]

Jesus.

It's like the refs called the fouls against the Thunder early so that they can let them get away with murder later in the game.

 

[nashman]

Call it even or start dishing out some hard fouls till you get a freaking call!

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker said something to the effect, the Thunder grab and hold on defense.

Yeah… that run was an insane burst to end the half.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

okc on a whole nother level - dock ellis tripping balls on the mound level - bruce lee no mind mixed with magnus carlsen level - vultron all becoming one level - incredible

 

[Hoop Head]

So we've become the Washington Generals to OKC Globetrotters?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

back to within 32 - gotta cut it to 20 by the 4th lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns cut the Thunder lead to 30, 86-56.

Grayson returning to form. Love to see it. He needs that spark.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

omg what did I miss

 

[Proximo]

Might as well give the rooks some extended playing time.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

nevermind just saw the replay - grayson not happy

 

[Hoop Head]

Flagrant 2 is BS. Grayson shouldn't have extended his arms but a 2 seems excessive

 

[carrrnuttt]

Grayson got frustrated, since the Thunder have been allowed to basically push the Suns players all game long.

 

[nashman]

fudge them Chet lowered his shoulder like he was gonna go thru Allen and Allen said I’m tired of this one way call BS!
