I like that last play, make Josh win us/keep us in the game or let us keep tanking in peace lol

The suns need a dominant rebounder up front. If only there were some way to get that guy this summer.

Westbrook gets his own rebound twice...yeah, we could have used Ayton there. That is Ayton's best skill...even if he can't quite grab it, he is very good at tipping it to himself.

It's so frustrating the Suns have been leading all game and can't hang on to the lead....

You want a meaningless win no one is going remember 2 weeks from now instead of a higher draft pick? We played great and got a loss.

Great game. That was probably the best we've played all season. The Memphis game got people excited, but they are trying to tank...this team is desperately trying to hang onto a playoff spot...so great effort from this team.

Anyone else picturing a signature McD smirk face after this loss?

We played with good energy tonight. I thought our ball movement in the first half was fantastic. OKC made some good defense adjustments and when they came back in the 3rd we defaulted to ISO book. Felt like we never got back in rhythm after that.

You should be used to it if you are a fan of the Chargers.

No, having a losing culture is going to be more detrimental to your team in the long run and isn't good for the younger players development.

Mission accomplished.

Well, that was the ideal game as far as tanking goes. Booker and Josh both balled out, Elf almost had a triple double, and we almost got a win against a playoff team but choked to close out the game.

Bender was a massive disappointment tonight though. How can you only take 1 shot in 37 minutes on the court? We basically played 4 vs 5 on offense for the entire time he was out there. He needs to burn the tape of this game and never play like that again.

Crazy we almost had 4 people score 20 and still found a way to lose.

Payton's lack of shooting and defense will be an issue if he is a long term starter.

I don't see him being a long term starter. It's been fun seeing someone much more competent than Ulis, James, and Canaan out there, but we need better if we want to be a playoff team.

They have a large bandwagon fan base here . When they go back to being irrelevant you’ll never see a fan of theirs again, they just don’t have the market or pedigree .
