Warriors at Suns Friday Elimination Play-In Game Thread, 4-17-2026

[Russ Smith]

Thought Melton was some defensive guru. He looked like a chicken with his head cut off on the last couple sequences.

He's a good defender but he's been awful tonight. He and Podz have missed like 5 point blank shots already. Suns pressure is really bothering them

Jalen is hitting the 3. But I want to see him go to the hole. Draw some fouls. Use that speed.

As great a head coach as Steve Kerr is, he’s never been able to get the Warriors out of the play-in “tournament.”

 

[Proximo]

What the hell is wrong with Devin. He won’t take the easy 15 footer.

Ol Calais Campbell sighting in the crowd!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Bad energy right now.

What the hell is wrong with Devin. He won’t take the easy 15 footer.

He’s gotta make that layup too.

 

[Proximo]

This game is just making me mad, and we aren’t even losing yet.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think pressure games get in his head. Missed a layup just now.

I don't care what he does this half, maybe he will actually be able to make a shot when it counts in the 2nd half.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench production is often an indicator if they win or lose. Five points is not going to do it.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Bench Brooks, this is bad.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Now I’d take Brooks out.

 

[Russ Smith]

That's a flagrant hit him in the jaw

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Brooks is definitely an annoying player for fans and opponents alike.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I think ott is making a mistake again not playing Fleming.

 

[Chaplin]

That's a flagrant hit him in the jaw

With a forearm, shouldn’t be a flagrant but definitely an offensive foul.

 

[Russ Smith]

This is going to be interesting you could argue Brooks was fouled first but if they review the foul can't they also call the elbow to the jaw?

 

[Cheesebeef]

That's a flagrant hit him in the jaw

Yup.

And is Ott challenging it? If so, a mind-boggling decision.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Warriors have outscored the Suns by 8 points thus far in the 2nd quarter.

It's becoming an old story.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Letting that team hang around is a problem.

 

[Proximo]

I don't care what he does this half, maybe he will actually be able to make a shot when it counts in the 2nd half.

Really doubt that, he’s been much better in the first halves lately, which is a really ominous sign because he has done Jack squat.

 

[Cheesebeef]

With a forearm, shouldn’t be a flagrant but definitely an offensive foul.

That’s an elbow dude.

 

[Chaplin]

Yep that’s what thought would happen.
