The Thunder are incredibly frustrating to play. Every player can shoot. Every player is a plus defender. Shai gets whatever shot he wants. They are always in control. And their coach wins every challenge. Just a different level than this Suns team that was a pleasant surprise and a legitimate joy to watch this year.

Thunder have a weird habit of doing exactly what’s required to win the game and sometimes that makes them look not as good as they can be, they seem to have an extra gear they can hit if they need too to win which can be confusing at times . Obviously they still get blowouts but they have games where it feels like they play at their opponents level or slightly above it, maybe it’s just me

Honestly late into the 3rd and 4th seems like they made a concerted effort to let Book play off ball and not worry about initiating everything for others and he really benefitted from it. I don’t mind point Book in spurts but if you want him to be a true scorer you gotta let him work off the ball; his lack of athleticism doesn’t let him generate as well as if he’s coming off motions

royalewlthcheese | Australia

133 | 3 hours ago

His assist numbers don’t show it, but Shai’s playmaking has significantly improved this season.

While inexperience and inconsistent offense outside of Shai played a huge role in OKC have two 7 games series last season. I also think Shai’s playmaking skills weren’t quite good enough, especially when he got double teamed. He’s able to read the double teams a lot better this season. At this point even doubling him seems negligent

Zungad | Supersonics

57 | 3 hours ago

On top of that, having Ajay Mitchell take a huge leap as a secondary playmaker is going to be another massive benefit for OKC in these playoffs. He’s an insanely big game changer and is definitely going to be a high-value player once his time in OKC is up. OKC’s offense is going to take a huge step forward in terms of setup and all that matters from there is execution.

donkeyknuckler | Thunder

24 | 3 hours ago

AJ Mitchell is a dawg

AnkitPancakes | Thunder

17 | 3 hours ago

It’s not so much that Ajay took a leap (and he is definitively better) - it’s more that he is healthy to play basketball. He was just out for the essentially the latter half of the season because of a turf toe injury. And then played garbage time in the playoffs (minus randomly playing 1 minute of the NBA finals at the end of the first half lmao. Not sure what Daig was cooking there)

After Shai, our next 3 most important players were:

JDub, with a broken wrist in his shooting hand
Chet, coming off a broken hip and struggling to get to even his rookie season form
Ajay, out for half the season because of turf toe (also a rookie)

Shai put the team in his backpack, and a lot of the issues our offense showed were because the 3 guys who would help pick up the slack were all battered in one way or another.

If the team didn’t improve at all in 25-26, simply getting healthy for the playoffs would make things flow a lot better

Zungad | Supersonics

3 | an hour ago

You’re spitting facts. The best ability is availability. Honestly, if OKC had better health luck this season, I genuinely think they’d win like 72 games or some shit. They lost so many close games while under-manned. If they can get J-Dub back and relatively healthy enough to play by the time they reach the WCF, I don’t really know how they can be stopped besides stopping themselves.

GodlySpaghetti | Thunder

13 | 3 hours ago

FormalDisastrous2467 | Thunder

sktyrhrtout

13 | 3 hours ago

I don’t think you have a better choice. You do need to be crisp with your rotations, though. You have to hope the supporting cast isn’t there but that seems like the best option.

I think that’s why the Spurs will be such a tough matchup. Wemby controls the paint and middle and OKC wants to run their offense through that area. It will be a great series if they match up and see how the coaches adjust.

royalewlthcheese | Australia

7 | 3 hours ago

It still probably is the best option. Letting Shai go 1 on 1 all game is a death sentence. But if his teammates are hitting their 3s like they were tonight, they’re basically unbeatable.

The chess match of Spurs OKC would be elite. Reminiscing on Raptors Celtics in the bubble

It’s a very minor complaint, but I’m sick of trailing teams acting tough after scoring and not letting their opponent get the ball to pass it in. If it’s not the last two minutes or after a dead ball, the clock is running. OKC genuinely shaved off 40 seconds in the fourth quarter because Phoenix wouldn’t just pick the ball up to give it to the ref or let a thunder player grab the ball.

It’s just clock awareness and game management. Suns probably weren’t ever really a threat to win it, but you can’t waste time when you’re down.

Edit: Added something to the first paragraph. User below made a solid point.

Yeah, for sure. They did pick up a delay of game for kicking the ball and not letting one of OKC’s players get it.

Brooks had a really good series. Basically dared him to beat them knowing he wasn’t but he showed up.

Mad respect to Dillon Brooks. Bro was hustling his ass off and was hitting some crazy clips.

Suns honestly played above and beyond this game… but so did the Thunder. ggs Suns you fought well. definitely did not expect them to be here, but they should be proud. Dillon Brooks is honestly a stud putting aside all the antics. He was definitely the Suns best player this series for sure

People will always focus on the offense but Dub brings a ton of value defensively. Much harder to put out two way lineups in the playoffs without him.

Such a wild last few minutes. Some of the weirdest end of a playoff game minutes I’ve watched in some time.

I guess it was good to get Ajay a ton of iso’s to see what he could do?

we need him as a secondary ball handler and shot creator so those were real good meaningful reps against a tough physical defense

An above expectations season from my suns man. Who knows what tomorrow holds but what a breath of fresh air that season was compared to the last two. It’ll be an interesting offseason.

Here’s my hot take. The Suns will never do anything with Book as their No. 1.

AnkitPancakes | Thunder

I enjoyed Brooks and Shai smiling and laughing after the game. Dillon puts on the tough guy persona, but seems his actual friends (and Shai is one of them) see through it. I like that they can be good natured about it all. Basketball is supposed to be fun

GG Suns. Brooks was crazy all series and Gillespie gave his best Curry impression tonight, but it wasn’t enough.

That’s not a dynasty, the last dynasty was the 4x warriors. And 5x spurs before that. Thats a dynasty. Id say 3 before we even have that convo

I’ve always like brooks game and this series made me more of a fan. I just wish he’d drop the “bad guy/villain” antics and focus on ball. His turn around was damn near automatic from game 2 on and even when his shot wasnt falling he kept up the defensive intensity. Hats off to him.

Thought the Suns played pretty well in both the games in PHX. Not having Willams available hurt them.

One of the things that make the Thunder tough is the ability to basically play any kind of lineup. Double big, traditional, small ball….a healthy Dub unlocks even more combinations they can go to.

OKC either shoots 55% or 20% from 3 no in between at all the reason they are consistent is they are such a good defensive team they dont eve need to scheme defensively ( best in teh league at it) since they have individual defenders

The Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) defeat the Phoenix Suns (0-3), 106-98.
