But Durant's their best 3 pt shooter. Klay has only shot like 35% this year from 3.

Knight and Barbosa need to see really limited minutes the rest of the game.

Soon as Knight goes out the Suns start playing competitively again.

Did you see his home/road splits they showed? The guy just plays better with good crowds.

Fine. Guard him too. Lol. Still crazy the Suns are within single digits considering the Warriors have missed what? 1 or 2 3s all night?

I don't think that bench unit got any stops. For a moment I thought we were gonna give up 80 points at the half.

Warriors are a tough match-up for Dudley too.

Warriors bait teams to play uptempo. Cavs and even Thunder shown that you make them hesitate on those passes and shots and you bring the game down grind and grit and they are beatable.

Durant joining Warriors have done wonderful things to his efficiency. I've seen heaps of Warrior games so far and he is in 4th gear and averaging 27/7/5 on great percentages... He is trying more on the defensive end though... But offensively... He is not being pushed like he was in Thunder... Understandably.

Are we the only team in the league that runs that "take 2 dribbles around the three point line and hand off to another guy" offense? I've never seen it achieve anything at all. Except wasting clock.

When I saw those I cringed. Because even the "good" Booker on the road was shooting, what, 38%? And at home 27%?

Yes, and, dribble around in circles, and then jump to take a shot, realize a big guy is in front of you and try to turn and look for someone to pass it to, only to see an opponent, so you just go ahead and pass it to them. Knight has perfected this, and he must be coaching others as Chriss performed it almost to perfection earlier, with less dribbling.

Watson is inside the tank driving it.

The right term is "worst" good sharpshooter... At the moment.

But his in between game has been good tonight... Well mainly because he is smart enough to take Curry inside the paint.

I'm not worried about his shooting yet. It's his second season and first with the new muscles from being a pro for a season. Plus teams basically smother him all game long because he's by far the best option the Suns have without Warren.

Cant wait for his lead assistant career.

Tucker is a big culprit.

Knight, Bledsoe and Booker does too.

But Bledsoe and Booker atleast aren't crappy.

Pachulia should have to wear the sleeved shirt every game. No one wants to play defense on his shoulder acne.
