Thunder @ Suns Thursday game thread 12-23-2021

[Dback Jon]

6 point game. smh

 

[Cheesebeef]

We look like doo-doo.

Get a little spurt to end the half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 41-33.

 

[Dback Jon]

Payneton were awful when in

 

[Cheesebeef]

Mikal is an abject disaster any time he tries to go to the hoop.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Come on DA.

 

[Dback Jon]

They said it would not be a trap game. They are acting like it is

 

[Mainstreet]

And the game is tied just like that. I saw it coming.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Wow the D looks terrible this quarter.

Looks like we thought the game was over after 1.

 

[Dback Jon]

And they are losing

 

[Dback Jon]

Dog shot 2nd quarter

 

[Dback Jon]

Horrid call

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Thunder 48 - Suns 45

 

[Dback Jon]

Trailing by three. No energy. Pathetic

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns didn't come out to play. Never give a young team confidence.

 

[Proximo]

Awful quarter.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Was worried about this. Heads might have gotten a little big going up big after destroying the last three teams.

Could be a good wake-up call to get a scare and hopefully a win before another big showdown with the Warriors.

Regroup and come back strong in the third. That looked like the 1-3 start. Got killed on the boards.

Thunder thinking we just beat the Clippers, Grizzlies and Nuggets. Why not Phoenix?

 

[Chaplin]

Still not worried.

Thunder out rebounded the Nuggets 60-39.

The idea that OKC would wilt because it was a back to back was odd. They’re the youngest team in the league. They may not keep up this D or we might wake up, but they ain’t gonna lose this game due to fatigue.

I was suggesting that they would eventually run out of steam if they were fighting from behind the whole game. Wasn't expecting us to give up the lead in the 2nd quarter however..

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns asked for it. Now they have it. What did they think, the Thunder would quit?

They have to come out in the 2nd half and win the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thunder think they can win now.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns still sloppy
