Golden State has been winning a bit lately. If we don't take care of business here I'm going to be very upset. This is an opportunity to get back into the win column.

Didn't realize they were on a 3 game winning streak. I know Draymond Green has been playing better because I have him on a fantasy team. Actually have Burks and Robinson too and Burks puts up some #s. Robinson sometimes too but moved him to the bench finally and finally started starting Green again. Seems like every time I check the box score though, Russell has bad #s.

Hoping Booker drops 70. We are due for that again...

Looking at this Warriors roster, they don’t have one half decent perimeter defender on the active roster. This *should* be a breakout 40 or 50 pt game for Booker on pretty good shooting.

However it really wouldn’t be surprising to see another 3 4 shot attempt Booker in the first half.

If he can shoot well again...for sure.

Curious to see if Monty Williams trots Ty Jerome out there again. He has to have learned by now that Jerome is not an NBA caliber player at least not yet.

Man IDK, if I were betting, I certainly wouldn't bet on the suns. I can see us going down big early, because of the half hearted efforts waiting for Ayton, close game losses, and Monty Williams as one of the leagues worst coaches.

Need to start a long win streak tonight

Suns squad is so heartless they’re going to overlook the warriors even though they lost 7 in a row. Only ones who come to play today are the ones who have heart: Rubio, Oubre, carter, Cam, Mikal. Baynes and Tyler would too but they’re playing so bad it won’t matter.
Booker usually does well against his friends but this is Monty Soft Booker so who knows what happens

I've been as disappointed and as sick of seeing Jerome on the court as anyone but I've soften my stance on him a bit and I do think we need to play him a little bit. He'll never become NBA caliber if he never plays.

It's like that whole thing with employers looking to hire a kid straight out of HS for some low level job but he needs to have like 5 years of work experience at minimum. How do these kids get work experience of no one ever gives them an opportunity to work?

This team is like the Wizard of Oz. Rubio (Dorothy) is looking for his way home (playoffs) but he has to help Baynes and Ayton find their brains first, has to help Booker find a heart and some courage, needs to help Saric and Kaminsky find courage also. Will Rubio ever make it home?

Yeah but he’s gotta look like at least belongs. Even really awful NBA players like Marqeese Chriss, for example, at least looked like he belongs to play professional basketball somewhere because he wasn’t overwhelmed athletically.

I just don’t see how Jerome can improve his athleticism by playing. He’s already 22, it’s highly unlikely that he hits some sort of growth spurt either.

Jerome reminds me a lot of former Suns lottery pick Kendall Marshall. High IQ player but just way too limited athletically. Marshall was never meant to play professional basketball and he no longer does after bouncing around a few places.

Jerome can learn by playing in the G-League or just watching tape of Rubio. He’s too slow right now and pudgy. Needs to bulk a bit.

Suns are going to win the next 6 games that includes beating Lakers, Blazers & Kings on the road. This team will turn the corner being 17-19 and in 7th or 8th seed. Be patient and watch Monty work Magic. Go Suns!!!

I trust way more some players that I do to the poor job Monty has been doing tbh, he cost us some games with his poor rotations and decisions.
Last game for example, putting Kaminsky in last minutes was decisive.
Let's hope he improves too.

They could win this one, and if ayton comes back right after, you might not be far off. Health is this teams biggest problem, and Monty Williams.

Like I've been saying since about 7 games in, he's one of the worst coaches I've ever seen.

Shoot. I “And 1’d” this before I read the last sentence. Love the optimism... but Never cool to joke about suicide... and if you’re not joking, I’d be happy to talk with you about that
