2 big-time struggling teams go head to head on back-to-back night for both.

PHX: Bol, Allen, Nurkic, Booker out.
GS: Moody, GP2 out.

Should be a winnable game with the Suns missing a bunch of key guys, but who the hell knows these days? We won't even get the Draymond-Nurkic entertainment factor.

I want to see the Warriors attack the basket. Nurkic is out, but they have a Plumlee. Attack attack attack attack.

Haven't watched Beal play in years. Easy to forget this dude was a 30point scorer for 2 seasons with the Wizards.

Steph is not moving around well out there. I hope the Suns don't focus on getting down hill against him in the PnR.

Just checking in to see if the usual suspects were dissing JK.

Did you see Kurtenbach's defeatist article in the SJ Mercury News demanding that the FO trade Kuminga now for whatever they can get? Just pathetic.

Good stint for him. But he’s not forcing anything and is letting people make plays for him.

The drive on the Tyus is what he needs to do when he gets a mismatch.

What should be our best 5 curry/buddy/wiggins/jk/dray finally had a good stint. I think we aren’t trying to force jk to be the creator and letting him finish is helping him a lot.

TJD is improving with playing time. Little things like a willingness to put the ball on the deck to work his way into an easier layup is something he wouldn't have been able to do last season.

He's really taking his time working his way to the bucket and it's a huge improvement. No need to rush when you have that combination of quickness and power.

I think the game may have finally slowed down for JK. Keep it up young bull.

Not saying his ceiling is best in the league, but he has a LeBron bully game in him similar to David West. Just my opinion/observation.

I think I'd rather see Moody in rather than Lindy but what do I know?

Can't wait for the game to slow down for Pods. Sometimes I question why he's allowed so much burn?

We’re finally having him attack smaller players rather than larger players. He’s so much better attacking smalls rather than bigs.

Steph was awful the first 4 minutes of this 2nd quarter. Sheesh.

And suddenly there's no effort to generate offense going to the bucket. Just chucking flat-footed threes.

Both Dray and Steph look demoralized. Heads hanging. No effort.
