They QUIT before the game even started and it was disgusting. Jalen Beal has been trash all season.
At least we can say we stayed healthy and ready after the break lets be positive guys 😅
The 90s players would have never sat out games
I feel they sat them to get the most rest and also for strategy. We beat them without our full line up and this way OK doesn't get to see what that looks like.
They didn't quietly do anything.
Would you be saying this if Booker or Green aggravated their injuries?
This is chess not checkers
I think the league should stop doing back to backs it takes away from the quality of the games
Fans pay big money to see Booker! What a rip off.
This game was so hard to watch. I turned it off after early third quarter. Why do fans pay for this?
The game is different now, moves very fast, big guys banging into each other at high speed. Guys can't play all 82 games ever again.
These guys are wimps
Matt ishbea needs to refund money spent on a bad product. Dylan Brooks played his ass off and could of risked injury. He didnt get to take the game off?
Unfortunately, people pay a lot of money to see their favorite players play. Especially against a team like Thunder. My wife bought me tickets to a Suns game for my Birthday. Granted, she didn't know who was good or not, but it was a nice surprise. It was against the Miami Heat. The game before they played the Heat, Booker got injured. The price was for $125 each. Now, if we were playing against OKC, Lakers, Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, or Wolves. It would have been double/triple that amount. It's crazy. I would have been extremely upset if our stars didn't play when you pay that kind of money.
In the End, I kind of agree with Bickley. It's the the identity of this team to waive the White Flag for a Marque Match-up like this. Even without the Thunder Having SGA.
It will also be pretty tough now that Brooks is suspended for his 16th technical foul. (Or has that been recinded?) The first game after the All-Star Break is against the Spurs. We need Brooks for his defensive intensity and, of course, his scoring. We also need Grayson back.
Brooks tried to beat thunder by himself he started bricking and thunder scored on every miss lead blew up , Bouyea is not all that good , Colin is a bench player , Royce is cringy when dribbling up court and driving that’s what I saw last night
Nothing quiet about it lol
I was bummed out last night too.. but whatever.
What I don’t understand is why it feels like every fucking back to back, the team we face on the back end is a top 5 team in the league. NBA hates us
Be positive
agreed. So soft. I just dont understand the mindset.
I think it was more of, “hey, let’s not lose Book or Green again right before the break” kind of thing.
Just be happy with where we are at instead of wanting more right now.. overachieving is now slighting people.
