Suns vs Thunder 12/23

"We came out of the gates a little bit lethargic," said forward Grant Hill, who started the game defending Durant and fouled out for the first time since November 2006. "They're a young team and had a lot of energy, and we didn't."

Anyone else tired of hearing **** like this?

Definitely. Stop talking about a lack of energy and start playing with some damn energy!

[Classick]

Men nearing their mid life crisis don't have energy.

The winning was fun while it lasted.

9th place here we come!

Another loss. I think I'm getting to the point where my expectations are coming back down to earth and I'm going to try to just enjoy watching the basketball aspect of it. I watched tonight's game and for the most part, I liked what I saw. However, they could not get any stops and they did not hustle after rebounds.

Yup - I just watched this on League Pass archive as I was busy with family stuff last night and today. really disappointing, and respect to OKC. They've got a bright future and have assembled some great young guys.
But the sun's are just too soft - we don't want it enough, no excuse for not blocking out at the end of a close game, JRich must have been dropped on his head as a child, or else he's drunk - no other way to explain his shot selection.
Really tough to watch this one

i was thinking about how the thunder has a bright future, but i dunno. it definitely seems like they should considering the ridiculous amount of young talent they have. but i think most of their players are going to need new contracts around the same time. there's no way they can pay all of their promising young talent the contracts they deserve at the same time. a few of them may be leaving.

Much Like PTL, but geez - nice problem to have. Presti has done a great job with that team. They will have lots of bargainining power and sign and trade possibilities.

yeah... i think OKC is my second favorite team overall. they're just fun to watch with all the young talent. and they've been getting much more consistent this season. still wish they never moved from seattle. that's a bunch of B.S.

Yes - I still dream that both Seattle and Vancouver get teams again.
