They smell blood in the water.
Booker out. Payne out. Saric out.
And the one and only Damian Jones out too. We are damned.

Maybe we need a good luck charm...those were missing last time and it was our worst game.

Booker reads these threads for ideas.

We're going to win tonight. Crowder will have 25. Smith will have 8. Carter will have 20.
Lights out on Warriors tonight

We can win but we’re gonna have to shoot some outrageous % from 3 to do so. Just like all our wins this season.
We can beat any team in the league because of our 3pt shooting. But we can also lose to any team in the league because of our 3pt shooting.
I don’t think even the Warriors with the splash brothers (pre KD) were as reliant on chucking away 3s to win as the Suns have been this season.
So yeah we can win, maybe even by 20 or 30 or we can just as easily lose lol. That’s gonna be the case against all teams in the league whether it’s the Lakers or the TWolves.
All gonna depend on that 3 ball. That’s the only factor.

I think this will be a tough one. All games will be tough with us being short 3 rotation players, and playing a bench with the likes of Kaminsky, Nader, etc, but if CP3 is the only primary ball handler, it makes things really tough.
But on top of that GS is finally playing well, and Oubre finally broke out of his slump, especially last night, and you can be sure he is pumped up.
Wiseman finally had a big game scoring, and Wiggins has been playing well. Draymond along with Wiseman will make it tough for Ayton inside too.
We just have to hope Curry isn't really hot from 3. He has had some awful 3 pt shooting games, but of course he will probably be on fire against us.

Kind of odd...this game opened as the Warriors favored by 1, and bettors moved it to Phx -2. A spread moving 3 points is a lot. It takes a lot of money to move it that much. I'm surprised so many would have bet on Phx the way we've been playing and with Booker, Saric and Payne out.

That’s is strange. I believe the Suns were favored by 8 tomorrow. Suns get a lot of respect from the oddsmakers.

Oubre going for spectacular defensive play twice and giving up the first 4 points.

Terrific start though GSW look sleepy, Kerr is good with his TOs.

Great start but we all know that doesn’t really matter.

Wood, Wall and Oladipo with a combined 67 tonight while beating Portland.

The dropoff in talent from our starters to bench is so significant. It's a first string being replaced by a 3rd string
