With SGA doubtful, the Suns are actually the slight betting favorites against the Thunder tonight.
If it’s not a trap game but smells like a trap game and looks like a trap game is it still a trap game? – 5:14 PM

An eventual return to OKC would tie the frayed strings of Kevin Durant’s career into a neat bow. Both sides would have to play ball, though.

My parents grew up in Mexico so soccer was always the top sport they watched/played but they’ve recently started to get into basketball because of me
My mom called me yesterday and said, ‘Boy, they sure did call a lot of fouls last night huh?’ about the Rockets-Thunder game lmao – 3:59 PM

Will there be 2 or more 3-point FGs made in the first 3 minutes of tonight’s game?
