Thunder @ Suns 2026 Playoffs Monday Game 4 Thread, 4-27-2026

Hope they make it a game. Play their hearts out. Dont have it like that dreadful Dallas game. Bleh.

It won't be like the Dallas game because that was a game we thought we'd win and the embarrassing collapse has never been fully explained. But I don't think many fans are putting money down on the Suns tonight. If we manage to make it a game tonight it will be more the fault of OKC than the "hearts" of the Suns.

This is simply a bad matchup for us and not just because of the huge talent advantage OKC has. Maybe if we were fully healthy we'd have had an outside chance to steal a game but without those extra weapons, we're cooked. Even keeping it close tonight will require a lot of cooperation from SGA and company. But I'll still hope for a minor miracle because losing in 5 beats being swept.

that's an awful perspective you've made before. i could argue that it IS on Booker and his agent to put him and his team in a position to succeed, not afford a larger mansion, but the point is -- Team salary is a core component of team success and his is a mismatched drain. His needs to be dumped.

if he isn't "the answer" and is making as much as 11 other Suns, then he is the problem

there are always many problems with a team, but...
he. is. the. problem

Until he has a pg and doesn’t need to handle the ball, we can’t really judge him

Game 1, you liked what you saw? What?

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

same starters tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not seeing the game listed on local NBC channel 12.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

This is nonsense to make zero changes or adjustments

 

[Chaplin]

I like Oso as much as the next guy, but what has made him earn the starter role, especially in this series?

Of course I tell my kids that I coach that it's not who starts the game, but who finishes it.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not seeing the game listed on local NBC channel 12.

Now I'm seeing it on local NBC channel 12 or at least they are talking about it there?

 

[Proximo]

Any chance we had is probably gone with Goodwin out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Well the game appears to be only on Peacock.

 

[Chaplin]

I hope game 1 wasn't Goody's last game in a Suns uni.

Well the game appears to be only on Peacock.

that sucks - nba has passed the point of greed

It’s him or maluach, who really hasn’t played that well.

I don’t understand why you would be against him starting when there really isn’t another option.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yeah. Maybe it's a good thing I passed the game thread baton onto you.

 

[Folster]

Well the game appears to be only on Peacock.

Not paying for a game 4 down 0-3. The NFL can do regional broadcasts. This game should be on NBC for AZ residents.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

ott keeps saying everything's on the table then he does the same exact thing

 

[Chaplin]

It’s him or maluach, who really hasn’t played that well.

I don’t understand why you would be against him starting when there really isn’t another option.

Maluach for sure, and there is no good argument against it at this point.

 

[JosiahLee]

Well the game appears to be only on Peacock.

Lame

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Yeah. Maybe it's a good thing I passed the game thread baton onto you.

i had to watch from some weird stream last week

espn - peacock - amazon

you'd need all 3 streaming services to follow the suns post season this year - that ****ing ridiculous

 

[Mainstreet]

Not paying for a game 4 down 0-3.

For me, it's mostly the game be shopped to multiple carriers.

Thankfully I can see all the Cardinals games locally. Did I really just say that.

 

[Carolinacacti]

It's not in peacock, Det vs Magic

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

let's go suns - give it all you got
