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

[Covert Rain]

Booker should know better than to take the bait. Just happy the team won and didn’t embarrass themselves. Green might have just established himself as the go to offensive player these past two games.

Draymond was screaming at him from the bench. Book didn’t like whatever he said.

If my lip reading is any good, I swear he was saying repeatedly he was gonna punch him in the mouth.

 

[Hoop Head]

Can anyone understand what that English dude is saying? It's like like watching Snatch, but double speed on the speech delivery.

I couldn't understand him and was questioning if I ever heard British people talk basketball in a professional setting. So out of place.

 

[Mainstreet]

You just know draymond was telling Booker how overpaid he is and how sorry his game is. That’s why devin got so pissed because it’s the truth.

Draymond Green had 5 points and 5 turnovers.

Nice win against an old and injured team… Still, Green and Goody deserve big props as they balled out and carried the team all night.

While the Suns will be lucky to win just 1 game against the Thunder, this season will still go down as a big and pleasant surprise.

 

[TJ]

So he heard what draymond was screaming?

I love it when Tim complains about the refs on the radio. It’s so awesome

I would honestly be shocked if they won a game, but again, no one expected them to make the post season. Looking forward to see what next year holds.

Devin Booker with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and only 1 turnover in 42 minutes.

Let that sink in with a team high +25.

This is taking nothing away from Jalen Green's 36 points, 6 rebounds, 2 turnovers, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

Yeah but that is all that is expected of him

Suns, I needed that. Thanks for the win.

Ugh what an idiot

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns only had 13 points off the bench and 11 of them were by Royce O'Neale. That's not going to cut it.

They need to give the rookies some playoff experience against OKC.

 

[Mainstreet]

That was weird, Kerr was acting like this is his last game saying thank you to Steph and Draymond?

I couldn't help but think Kerr might be retiring.

Booker played smarter by not forcing hero ball himself but directing traffic to let the hot hands Green and Goody get the shots. That's why his high +/- was from. He nailed critical jumpers against tired legs of the Warriors in late 4th qrt.

 

[Chaplin]

Ugh what an idiot

That's what you got from that? Why do Suns fans actually hate the Suns so much? It's so weird.

The bench player of tonight is Highsmith with a +8. He's the seconf best defender after Goodwin while 4 inch taller. We ought to give Fleming and ManMan some burn in the first 2 games vs OKC at least, for the benefit of their growth. Give Dunn's min to Highsmith, Fleming, and some of Oso's to MM.

At least the Warriors bench contributed more. The Suns starters need more help.

I can tell you didn't watch the game . book did get doubled but 10 of his points where from the FT line. One foul should of been a turnover. Book gave the ball to Green refusing to take a shot

Those free throws count as well. If Booker doesn't get double teamed, it would be harder for Green to score.

It shouldn't be viewed as Booker versus Green. Plus, they need the bench to contribute more. The Suns were blessed all the starters stepped up tonight.

Goodwin (7-11) had 19 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 6 steals and only 1 turnover.
