  2. Phoenix played a hard fought game never gave up they played well they should be encouraged both teams were missing players respect to the suns THUNDER 🆙 we have a rematch

  8. Superstars are supposed to win you basketball games. SGA carried the Thunder to the finish line. Booker once again fumbles the game away with unforced turnovers and tentative play. He wasn't even looking to score the last two minutes. That simply can't happen when you're the so-called franchise player.

    The ball movement and overall defensive effort was much better to start the 4th quarter (with Booker on the bench) as the Suns whittled a 15 point deficit to 6. We've seen several stretches where the bench has rallied the Suns this season — most notably in the Atlanta and Minnesota game.

    Booker was just as much the problem with last year's team as Durant and Beal were. He's coasted on hero ball and padding his scoring on some of the worst Suns teams in franchise history.

    Booker was at his best as a complimentary off ball scorer with CP3 orchestrating the offense. Monty, Vogel and Coach Bud all tried and failed implementing Point Book.

    What's happening now, is for the first time in Booker's career he is actually playing for a coach who doesn't defer to his star players and has a system. Booker's role in the Suns offense only gets murkier with Green starting.

    Coach Ott has to design more half court plays off player movement and ball screens from the free throw line area towards the baseline.

    Booker should be running more side to side action where he can catch a pass and pull up from mid range or scoring on back door passes.

    The Suns bigs need to provide more spacing and show an ability to pass the ball. Mark needs to work on a jumper from 20 feet out.

  9. Just looking at the numbers, no excuses a a loss is a loss, to go toe to toe with the champs doing so short handed. when we where counting completely out before the season.
    This loss can only be took with a grain of salt get Allen green back.
