Right now only Stoudemire and Nash look like they want to win about 75% of the game, Dudley does his usual hustle, but the rest of the crew just isn't getting it done. I know the teams have been pretty good coming in, but the Thunder were on a 9-game losing streak. I mean, I know the Thunder are better than their record, and alot of those games were close, but the Suns are the veteran team that supposedly knows how to close out games, and it looked like they were the apprentices tonight.

J Rich doesn't bring anything to the table anymore and Grant Hill you just don't know what the hell he is going to do for you. Earl Clark should have been in the game on Durant just because he has the foot movement to stay with him and he is tall enough. Amar'e has stepped his rebounding up and that is great but he needs help down there. Damn these guys are bowing down to teams This team is extremely diappointing to watch.

Down four with 14.4 left on the clock, the Suns simply couldn’t muster up enough late-game magic to steal a victory. The Thunder played extremely well especially for a team coming off of a back-to-back against the Lakers, but the Suns’ lack of “go-get it” mentality ultimately lost them the game.” [...] [...] Valley of the Suns recap: “But yet again the Suns forgot about that all-important 90 percent desire that goes into rebounding and allowd ex-ASU standout James Harden — who finished with 14 points — to corral the long rebound and dish it to Durant who drilled virtually the same shot he missed earlier in the possession.
