I predict the Sun's are going to make this one close tonight.

I just don't think there is a whole lot of focus for this one.

The regular season is a marathon. You can't run a marathon by burning up energy sprinting in the middle of the race. My guess is the Dubs will cruise and figure that they are good enough to win on talent rather than effort. And that could happen, but when the other team shows up and plays like this is their playoffs, superior effort can defeat talent without effort. And if the Warriors do lose, I don't think Kerr would lose a whole lot of sleep over it.

I think Kerr would be quite upset with a loss. I think they have the #1 seed in their sights, and blowing off a game like this is no way to get it.

Suns are really leaving it all on the floor

As said a million times, it's hard for the Warriors to give a **** about meaningless games like this with this much season left

Man, Steph has been ice cold in the first half of games lately. The good news is his turnovers are down, he's only had 1 game in the last month where he's had more than 4.

If we can cut down the turnovers and do a better job rebounding, we should be able to put them away in the 3rd quarter. If Steph can start hitting a few shots, so much the better.

Warriors are playing like garbage and Kelly Oubre thinks he's Jordan or Kobe. It's making me laugh watching this game.

Oubre is a little bitch. Someone needs to jam that ball in his mouth.

he has been playing too much offball lately sometimes i wonder if that is JJ or Stephen out there.

Well, I'm glad we had just enough to finish out this game, but it was a pretty uninspiring effort. I'm sure its tough for them to get up for a Suns game.

Something I noticed tonight, the warriors need to get back to Steph handling the ball and more pick and roll. When's its Draymond, the defenses back off or automatically switch while backing up. With Steph, the defense has to jump out, leaving the paint wide open.

Curry primary ball handler is GS best offensive set but we know Kerr despises that obvious option.

Jerebko gets some non garbage time minutes.

Kerr said he decided to give J J minutes since he hasn’t played in awhile.

JJ is team high +22.
