Great game guys. This win means a lot to the Suns, to come out here and steal a win without Nash. Great team, I love watching you guys play.

If we don't rebound in San Antonio tomorrow this loss will sting real bad.

I hope the team forgets it quickly and moves on. Any lingering effects of this loss will carry over to tomorrow. Would suck to lose 2 straight after such a good run.

You guys have a really great team and were on my preseason prediction to make the playoffs this season. Phoenix fans were all especially disappointed to see James Harden leave the valley and I'm sure you guys are starting to see already what he can bring to your team.

Here's something I did last summer when your logo first came out and as a former Enid resident thought the state flag could take on more a role in the logo.

Best wishes and hope we don't give you a good draft pick this year!

Horrible loss. Up to with 3 minutes left and PHX in the penalty...how do you lose that. Up 5 with a minute left. Horrible offense to close out the game and weak defense on that J-Rich play. I mean, Thabo gambles for a steal...on a game winning play, and there is no one stepping to J rich on the help anyway.

You'd win that game 499-500 times from ten points up and we went to sleep.

aside from this horrible game, durants 36 and lebrons 20 today means that durant is now the leading scorer.

It was an up and down game for both teams.
However, I think both teams played good overall. Really impressive how Suns played without Nash. Dragic did an excellent job.
Its though because the Thunder had a nice lead at the end and really didnt execute that well, just like slick said, but dont forget that the Suns had a 15 point lead n the 3rd.
Though loss, but nothing to worry about. Its still better to lose by 2 points than by 20 I believe.
Thunder will get the W against SAS, I guarantee you that!
Life may not be the party we hoped for but while we are here we might as well dance!

Still really frustrated how we ran the offense at the end there. The Suns got everything going toward the basket.. we settled for jump shots. Just isn't going to work..

Also, Brooks should have stuck with that small lineup that built the lead. Ibaka was doing a great job on Amar'e and when Nick Collison came in Amar'e went back doing what he does. I love Nick but Amar'e is not a winning matchup for him. Then Brooks sends in ice cold Thabo to defend the last shot and we know how that ended.

Argh. Just really frustrating way to lose.
