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

[Chaplin]

Sort of. Had some bad d, and stupid turnovers. I guess it’s all relative.

So what? Still has been a net positive.

 

[Proximo]

We look like crap right now, but hey let’s do the same old thing.

I am in favor of playing our rookies. They played the best game the suns have played in 3 months.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

You would think a good time to get Flem i the game, but noooo.

It’s insane. His athleticism and length on defense would be useful. On the offensive end his ability to run/slash towards the basket and his ability to shoot the 3 would be a threat as well. Ott is a moron if he doesn’t get him in the game.

 

[Proximo]

So what? Still has been a net positive.

Look I’m just mad we are going to lose. So tired off this flopping incredibly in every must win post season game.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I really don’t get throwing Fleming into the doghouse.

 

[Russ Smith]

the make Jalen Green go left defense is not working tonight

 

[clyde2tw]

Brooks and Booker are slow in rotation, and the team as all too, that led to many cutting scores. Also several pass TOs.

 

[Russ Smith]

Ridiculous shot by green.

Yeah NBA players are so good it's scary

 

[Russ Smith]

suns are being pretty physical with steph off ball

Yeah they're playing him tough I meant the hard fall before the FT's. The Wariors announcers talk about it regularly Steph gets mad if he touches the rim on FT's, and hie actually hit it on both of those. Definitely hasn't looked comfortable.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Next year, Flemming, ManMan, Dunn, Green and sorry old Booker

 

[Russ Smith]

I can’t stand Podz. He’s the new Jordan Poole.

I get why they like him I just think like Poole he thinks he's better than he is and takes some shots that are just beyond awful. But much better defender than Poole was.

If Suns fans really want to move Booker I'd be happy to send them Podz, draft picks and something else for him but I don't think we have enough capital to pull him.

 

[Russ Smith]

The key for the Warriors as always is turnovers. Cut them down they have a chance that was the key in the 2nd quarter.

You have to assume Steph will get going

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I have zero confidence in the Suns being able to pull this one out. Book being the least clutch player in the league since the all start game, not to mention him disappearing against Portland in the 2nd half. Of course I have to mention Ott’s perplexing line ups, Kerr out coaching him with an old tired Warriors team.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Still no real offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warriors outscored the Suns by 13 points in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Russ Smith]

Just sit Porzingas he's either not healthy or doesn't want to play

 

[Russ Smith]

he made the 3 but Porzingas is running like a 79 year old man tonight

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Looks like book is going out like a b***h in two play in games. Great.

 

[Russ Smith]

NBA refs Porzingas gets pushed they don't call it he makes it. Next time down they call a foul on Booker when there's not a foul

 

[Cheesebeef]

Green, Malauch, Fleming are what we should be building around.

 

[Chaplin]

Look I’m just mad we are going to lose. So tired off this flopping incredibly in every must win post season game.

100% fair.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

For all the crap green has taken here, he’s the only dude to consistently show up in both games.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Haha, Zingas killing Phx inside right now.

Book with 4 fouls??

 

[Covert Rain]

Sort of. Had some bad d, and stupid turnovers. I guess it’s all relative.

His defense was no worse than most of the team and we are not in either game without him.

 

[Chaplin]

I get why they like him I just think like Poole he thinks he's better than he is and takes some shots that are just beyond awful. But much better defender than Poole was.

If Suns fans really want to move Booker I'd be happy to send them Podz, draft picks and something else for him but I don't think we have enough capital to pull him.

Nah, Giannis for Book straight up.

lol
