Good performance by the guys today except for Knight. He will always be a true roody poo and again I say as long as he plays we'll never win a game. #PLAYULIS

I think it was a good game. They are the favourite to win it all, and we stayed in the game until the last minute.

We have 79 more games to go, so our youngsters are gonna play minutes.

Warren, Bledsoe, Chandler and Dudley played an outstanding game.
Knight ...what I need to say? Disgusting.

Warren can average 20 points per game with good defense without question, I love his game. He was great against Durant, that is not easy to do.

Booker is having a hard time out there because of injuries and press defense. He will be fine, not worried at all.

I'm not worried about our record. We need to build out this team through the draft and free agency.


Unfortunately what we really need is a talented C, and this upcoming draft really doesnt have one.


We could also use a more talented pass-first PG and those should be available.

The headline for the game:
Durant's 37 leads Warriors past pesky Suns 106-100

http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=400899486

WE'RE PESKY!
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Strange the well oiled machine that is the Phoenix Suns seemed to have made a mistake.

The attention to detail in this organization is unparalleled.

It seems more likely that Beldsoe has been misspelling his name the whole time.

warriors looked very far from what they will likely look like after all star break.

I get it, compete at the beginning of a season with best possible lineups(seemingly) but it does not make it easier to watch :(

Can Williams be worse than Len ? He doesnt have great hops but since Len isnt really blocking much of anything anyway it should not be an issue, also he is better rebounder and funnily he probably has better touch around the rim:D His offensive rebounding can generate us more points. Len just tries to fly swat it once.

I thought the center combination played well tonight. 14 points, 26 rebounds, and 3 blocks out of your centers combined is pretty awesome production. So they came to play. Bledsoe also played well. He is probably never going to be a point guard that puts up big assist numbers but 6 assists and no turnovers is really good for him. He also shot the ball at a high percentage. Warren was awesome again. Dudley was good. Barbosa played okay off the bench.

Booker is still off but it seems like he is definitely playing hurt. I do not think he should even be playing right now. I mentioned this the other day, but I think he has played totally differently ever since he hurt his ankle against the Jazz in the preseason.

The one thing this game proves to me though is that the Warriors do not look like last year's team. They lost all three of their centers and it shows. Pachulia is terrible and I would be shocked if they do not try to acquire a better center somehow before the trade deadline.

Interesting thing to say about Len not blocking anything when he had three blocks tonight

3 mins given to a 4th round pick is inexcuseable. If he was not ready to contribute I'd somewhat understand, but Bender looked like one of the team's better defenders in limited minutes he received and his defensive versatility would've been of great use in this game imo.


I agree. And he wasn't even a 4th round pick. He was the 4th overall pick in the first round! He needs to be playing. We need as many smart ball players on the court as possible.

I know it's guard heavy but it's really too early to say this. Someone will shoot up the draft board over the next several months. Whether it's Bolden or Allen or Jeanne or Kingsley or whoever, I'm confident there will be a few quality bigs by the time the draft comes along. And if there are no great center prospects, then we can take one of the many power forwards that look to be impact players at the next level.

Bam reminds me of a Green-type undersized (6'9) C, but that cant shoot. He goes hard for rebounds, loves to block shots, and has some thunderous dunks. I just dont know if he can lock down the paint. For as good as Green is, neither can he, and thats why they needed Bogut.

The C that im really looking forward to is DeAndre Ayton. But thats not going to happen until 2018. The Kid is a BEAST!

If we all really want Knight gone maybe we should start talking about how great he is and what a huge blow it would be to the team if he were dealt.

Especially with how good he looked guarding Durant compared to oh... anyone else on our roster.

Anyone notice our defense off of misses is just pitiful? No one seems to know who to guard. At least Bender was out there trying.
