Game 38: Phoenix(17-20) @ Oklahoma City(29-8)

Suns played a good game for the most part but got overpowered at the end. Perfect result.

So when is Harden going to be a FA again? Would love to have that ASU alum here as a starter to rebuild around.

I wouldn't say it's a "perfect result",because a win against the best team in the West would have been perfect if we managed to make the playoffs. If that is the goal of the team (to make the playoffs) then we will most likely grab the eighth slot, and would face the Thunder.

The anti fan thing has to stop guys.

Why even bother posting in the game thread if you are actually hoping that the team loses? What the hell is the point?

We need to be playing Price and Chilly

When is Gentry's contract up? I'm convinced now - nice guy, not the right coach

What a massively frustrating loss. A win would have been a huge boost for the team's confidence, especially after the 3 solid wins previously.

With a different bench and a different coach we could be one of the best teams in the West.

Our starting 5 can compete with any team in the league while our bench couldn't compete with a team of amateurs down at the local playground.

Yep, been saying it most of the year about P/C, and saying the same thing about Gentry for the past two years.

I'm not an anti-fan in fact im the biggest suns fan ive ever met ourside of sports forums. It's why im here. But im also a pragmatist and im looking how this seasons win totals will affect our draft pick and yes I know that frustrates you to no end. Im simply looking to the future; I can still watch the games (as I do every single one) and learn more about the players and cheer when they play well but I simply want them to lose because if you think this squad is making the playoffs then I question your understanding of the depth of talent in the league right now. Have you guys even looked at our last 2 months scedule?

We didnt get Marion or Amare by being good, we had to suck. And yes you can go on and on about how every draft pick is a crap shoot but its still a shot you have to take to rebuild.

I love this team with every fiber of my being dont ever question that. I just refuse to blindly root for a run thats going to result in a bad draft pick while missing the playoffs. What is the point in that other than making yourself feel good? I'm too much of a fan for that.

... but nice explanation Blood.

It wasnt like the outcome was a surprise. They are a better team. And I'll be honest... soon as I saw we dropped that one, I was looking at Tor, Cleve, Det, etc to see what they did.


We drop 5 of the next 6, which I will wager Vegas has us the 'dogs', this team will fold up, as Gentry will lose the locker room. .....
