Booker and Nurkic playing bad, we need them to win this one.

This is what I was worried about without Shai. Team misses star and becomes a bit more balanced and scores from everywhere. Kind of like the Grizzlies a couple years ago. Happens a lot before teams can adjust.

Suns got this fam don’t worry. We are more of a 3rd quarter team anyways. Can’t wait for Vogul’s epic halftime speech.

70 points in a half without SGA. with him it would have been 100.
same **** like the bucks game.

On track for another 14+ turnover game

Nurkic and Eubanks need to be out of the rotation for the second half. It's ridiculous. Just play with perimeter players and KD. Some Thad Young if needed.

An SGA-less 70???

Our problem is that wea are always behind their play, scrambling and trying to recover good position. Nurkic is a problem against their lineup because they play 5- out and he looks out of shape because of his ankle or something. And it doesn't help that he puts the ball down close to the rim, he can't finish anything.

Vogel needs to stop playing him and Eubanks and we will have a chance to win.

And the Suns continue to turn the ball over so let’s not give the only PG on the roster a chance..

Also, Bol who has been playing really good checked in for the first time at the 5 minute mark in the 2nd quarter.

Frank Vogel is such an idiot.

If we make the playoffs, the team we play should rest their best player. Free sweep.

Clips pull out a very close one again at the very end.

This game is crazy. I had the first half on OKC feed, and those guys are SUPER biased. I was a bit behind and fast forwarding through commercials but caught up at the half.

They made some unbelievable shots..especially Isaiah Joe.

I also can't believe they didn't even have one turnover until Giddey threw that pass out of bounds. They ended the half with 2.

They play great D, take care of the ball, but this game should probably be closer given they have seemed to hit some shots they probably wouldn't normally make...it's not like they were open either...usually guarded pretty well.

But still, without Shai, we are just not really in the same league as this team. They look like a well oiled machine with their ball handling, defense, chemistry and their shot making. All this without their best player who is a near top 5 player in the NBA.

no one can convince me that this team would be worse with the status pre trade durant.

I was wondering why Eubanks came in too and why they are not switching it up, but he did have some nice defensive plays and at least a couple blocks.

I mean, they are shooting 77% from 3. Crazy.

Agreed. I think we need to go small and stay small against some teams including OKC.
