Injuries:

GSW
Bradley Beal (calf) QUESTIONABLE.
Jusuf Nurkic (quadriceps) QUESTIONABLE.

Suns
Steph Curry (knee) QUESTIONABLE.
Andrew Wiggins (ankle) QUESTIONABLE.

I'll take this trade, but Beal has a no trade clause.

With Curry and Wiggins we'd have had chance against Boston.

Alright we are 2 games back of the Pacific division leading Warriors, despite being in 4th place in the division. Need some wins, since if the season ended now we would be in the 9/10 play in game vs SA. I would say we may start seeing SA as a playoff opponent in the next few years, but in a few years when SA is a playoff staple, we'll probably be hard pressed to make it for about a decade.

So the time is NOW.

No Nurkic tonight. Damn. Wanted to see him beat Draymond's ass.

Put a top 10 defensive team on Booker and he’ll have difficult time putting up 20 points. Tonight is obvious another under 20 game coming from him.

Our old enemy coming back to bite us: TURNOVERS.

This team has no identity and that’s why this forum is dead and nobody posts in GT’s anymore. Saber just comes at the end to give his 2 cents about how perfect the suns are etc.

Blow this team up and start from scratch. Get rid of Booker too he’s getting on my last nerves.

Suns finally having a good night from distance. Ball movement has been good, too. The team just operates so much more efficiently (and effectively) with Allen in over Beal.

This team is so hot or cold. Get a lead and get lazy, allowing their 15 point buffer lose nine points in a matter of a few possessions. Barely a minute to play and now it's down to two possession. They're setting themselves up to have their hearts broken by Curry once again.

Hey we won

Kinda disappointed in the lack of participation this season by fans and followers of this team. I'm beginning to wonder what happened?

Beating a team infront is always a quality win.

Since Beal is untradeble is Nurk's expiring after next season contract worth anything ? Attach 2nd round picks to somehow get two decent players ? The team needs more depth with so many injury prone players.

Hard to say. He's serviceable but barely and there's no guarantee what we get in return will be any better than what's sent out. He's hugely frustrating some nights and completely indispensable others. You just never know which one is going to show up.

Plumper, while not the offensive player Nurkic is, has been a great stop gap filler when he's been out and I wouldn't mind seeing him return though that's probably unlikely. He's definitely more active defensively and is a far better passer and hustle player. If we could get another of his kind while continuing to develop Ighodoro, we'll be just fine.

For me the complete overhaul of the roster leads me to really have no connection on this team besides Booker and the win now mentality makes regular season games pretty much unimportant.

It's only here, Reddit has around 1000 comments only in his Game Thead. And there is a Post Game Thread too.

We controlled the game from the start until the end, are 3p shooting was great with Allen and Tyus having big nights.

Allen in particular played specifically well with his mobility off the ball looking for the ball or giving help to the ball handler.

KD and Book were leaders again and both showed tht they are two-way players. Book is defending better than last year, this game was a good proof of that.

So with all the blah blah about the GSW and their "renaissance" they are 12-7 and we are 11-8...so close already.

Ishbia would've never traded DA if he knew how much he made people attached to the team. Missing those last 2-3 pages of pure hate in game threads. Now only sporadic posts in that other thread, but at least it's still alive.

And props to the defense from Dunn and Oso too. They blocked some shots and made life tough for the GSW.

I don't partake in Reddit, so I guess that's on me. Meh. Is how it is.
