Should be an easy win. Can't afford to lose this one, as the Jazz have an easy game tonight against Brooklyn.

No Tucker either. A loss here would be pretty bad.

They've been playing surprisingly well offensively of late though, I'm still nervous.

This is NBA after all, any team can beat any team on any given night. Still though, OKC should take a W here 9.5 times out of 10.

I hope Dirk doesn't score his 30,000th point against the OKC.

Not sure. Now that you mention it, that would be better. The 'the' is a little redundant. Ah well. I'll live with it...But only if Domantis hits a damn 3 at some point.

Initial Cole impressions (and I JUST turned the game on):

Seen some things I love offensively and some things I hate defensively.

And I'll take the blame for the Suns run to end the quarter. I turned the game on with us up 24-13 with a little more than two minutes to go. Phoenix outscored us 10-4 the rest of the quarter. My bad.

And Jared Dudley starts the 2nd quarter by draining a rainbow 19-footer with a hand in his face.

Jerami Grant got hacked across the harm one or two times on that drive before the jumpball that was eventually called.

And it's a one point game after the Suns hit another well-contested, one step inside the three point line jumper. That's two this quarter. Worst shot in basketball and they've drained two of them.

These refs...

That offensive foul call on Russ was terrible. He got fouled twice before he gathered himself and knocked down his defender. That's twice this quarter they've let a couple of fouls go before the play resulted in something positive for the Suns.
