Thunder @ Suns Friday game thread 2-24-2023

Why do we hate each other so much?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I don’t understand why Monty stays with a defense that CONSTANTLY lets teams have open 3s.

Because @cheesebeef has correctly nailed his ceiling as Doug Collins

 

[TJ]

Now you want to play semantics. LOL. Weak. You know exactly what I mean. Luka torches good defenders on a weekly basis.

Pretty important deviation on words. A true defender lets their guy get his points, but wins the match if they score 31 points on 30 shots, not 31 points on 17 shots.

Again, I like Mikal, but you guys need to stop treating him like he’s Matrix. That’s the baseline for a great two-way player on this team.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Terrible first

Suns may have caught lightning in a bottle with Okogie.

He needs to start when KD gets on the court. He’s so good at offensive rebounding and his effort is awesome on both ends. Not the best off the bounce obviously but if he can just be a consistent shooter, he’s gonna carve a nice role for himself as he has already.

Pfft I love all of you and vacillate between your opinions like a pong game

Why do we hate each other so much?

That’s what family does. Or at least does in the movies.

 

[TJ]

Dude… that’s how you sound in everyone’s mind.

Just yours, seeing as you have this weird, creepy obsession with me. You also have a well noted habit of embellishing and histrionics on this board.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Same.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

TJ is fine stop

When someone says stop they literally don’t mean completely stopping a player. LOL. Again, Luka torches good defenders all the time.

You need to stop pretending like you know more than the rest of the league and that’s the same as our fan base overvaluing a player.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Lol. Okay.

 

[Chaplin]

If this was a movie I’d look like Matthew McConaghy.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ross again with a three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne gets annihilated on the play and is called for the foul.

 

[Covert Rain]

How was that not a foul?

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

If this was a movie I’d look like Matthew McConaghy.

Alright alright

 

[Mainstreet]

CAM PAYNE!!!

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Jock having a great game

 

[Covert Rain]

Payne!!!

 

[TJ]

Im in Florida and it’s midnight here. I cant do this late night **** with games.

 

[Cheesebeef]

BOOM!

 

[Covert Rain]

If Cam returns to form that is going to add some much needed depth.

 

[Chaplin]

Did you see Payne do the Mikal point and shimmy?

 

[TJ]

Cam Payne really doesn’t want JJ to acquire another PG

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

On that 3 Jock raced ahead of everyone to the paint, sealed off his defender, and drew 2 defenders immediately opening that 3 for Payne. It won't show up on the stat sheet but that's a film room hero play
