SGA questionable? I'd like to watch him but I guess it's great for our playoff positioning if we can take advantage of it.
I just hope we are not overconfident come playoff time because we beat these teams (if we do beat them) without SGA and Denver without Murray.
I know we are missing Nurk but like what Thad brings and it's crazy we outrebounded Denver without Nurk...Jokic being one of the better rebounder in the league. Thad with 9 in 18 minutes...some great contested ones too. And KD with 13.
I'd definitely start Thad over Eubanks. Or Bol Bol.

Shai out is huge let’s get this win. This would definitely make up beating Nuggets & OKC after losing to Spurs without Wemby and Rockets a few weeks ago. I’d like to see more Thad and less TO’s by our team.

If the Suns come out with urgency I expect a win. Both team records aren't as far off as I thought, and Suns should probably be 46-27 if they played every game like it mattered.
Regardless this is yet another big day for playoff seeding. Clippers @ Magic right now, Lakers @ Pacers, Warriors @ Hornets, Wolves @ Nuggets, Rockets @ Jazz, and Mavs @ Kings. Kings just lost Kevin Huerter for the rest of the season. Jazz have lost 7 straight games, meanwhile the Rockets are on a 10 game-win streak.

Allen looking great so far.

GA is probably a top 3 player of mine for the Suns this season.

Mine probably as well. GA seems to have elevated his game in Phoenix, but is also getting open, easier shots unlike with the Bucks.

I love that Beal is taking some shots. He has such solid form that he should easily be taking a lot more of those.

I love our quick passing not forcing many TO’s. Thunder just can’t cover so much ground which results in wide open 3’s.

Since the all-star break, he's averaging 15 points a game. Pre-all-star break he was averaging 13 points a game. I think he's looking a lot more comfortable out there, even showing some creativity every now and then when a play breaks down.

Beal is pretty good staying in the corner and hitting threes.

Swap Beal for Dort how good would Phoenix be this season?

I had no idea Gordon Hayward played for the Thunder. He’s definitely a starter yet coming off the bench. This OKC team has a bright bright future with over 40+ first round picks.

Both teams combined to shoot 19 3’s in the first quarter. I’m slowly getting used to seeing a barrage of threes taken but it’s still weird seeing them taken at such a rapid rate. Oh well, the game continues to change.

OKC is making unbelievable shots. Suns are actually playing really good defense.
