This will be the 17th game in the month of January. We only play 10 games in February and have a nice until Wednesday after tonight. Just get through tonight and some of these nagging injuries can get better.

Are phx fans booing cp3 because he got selected to the asg and booker didn’t? Lame.

it's the first quarter but Dort's defense on D Book has been Roberson-esque

Dort still stroking threes
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I am growing tired of Diallo.

The difference between Dort fighting through and around screens and Ferguson is night and day.

Lu Dort is a stud
It's too bad that he's a 2 guard and so is Shai. If only he were about 2 inches taller...

We are lost on how to attack this defense.

Shai seems nicked up

He's laboring and not as solid with his handle

+How the hell was that a foul on Dort? More push offs called against OKC somehow...

Win or lose, I’m ready for this game to be over. It’s exhausting to watch.

That game felt like it lasted 4 hours.

That was draining. Glad we came away with the win. Never thought we'd be 30-20 at the 50 game mark this season. We're in a virtual tie with the Mavs for 6th, too.
Said in a thread about which point guards would make OKC better if they replaced Westbrook:

Shai plays to his confidence level. You can see him drop his head in frustration at times when his shot isn’t going down.

If we keep playing like this (well, not like tonight), we may end up losing our pick.

Well guess some things may or may not happen until thursday so we will see.
