Suns @ Warriors Tuesday game thread, November 4th, 2025

[SactownSunsFan]

Game was pretty much over when the Suns started, what, 1-12 from the field? It was all an uphill battle from there, with the Dubs coming off a disappointing road trip and the Suns coming off a big win against the Spurs, there was no way they were gonna let us get close enough to steal this one.

Oso is useless on offense

I'm not really sure why he's getting so much rotation time unless it's simply because of the injuries throwing all that off. I sure hope Flemming and Maluach move ahead of him before too long because let's face it, Oso is going to be at best a journeyman/end of the bench kind of player, if he has any kind of NBA career ahead of him at all.

 

[Hoop Head]

Ott has to see the issues with Oso. He's a good kid and a hard worker but he's just not worth 20+ minutes a night in a consistent role on an NBA team, let alone one that hasn't thrown in the towel. If he makes it 5 games in with Green and Brooks then I'll start to question Ott's rotations but I hope and suspect he's waiting for their return to make adjustments. Hayes-Davis also needs glued to the bench but that is harder to do with 2 wings out.

 

[Yuma]

Devin has 38 points, but he needs another star to help carry the load.

I think we needed to get Williams more involved in this game. He could have probably gone over 20 points if we were looking for him more.

IDK, either. He is posted out at the corner three position on some of our offensive sets and no one guarded him there last night. Everyone in the NBA knows he's not a threat to shoot out there. Why does Ott want him in that spot on offense. It's a useless place to set him up at. It doesn't even affect our spacing.

it wasn't oso it was everybody not named booker

 

[Chaplin]

I thought this was Colin Gilesspie's worst game of the season. Sure, he had a good 5 second sequence where he hit 2 3's in a row, but outside of that he was a net negative.

I loved Grayson's aggressiveness, but everyone was missing layups. Grayson was fouled a couple times with no call, but still -- we need guys like Grayson and Mark Williams to finish bunnies at the hoop. I also saw a lot of ball watching from everyone when Curry drove the lane. A LOT of wide open layups given up. We shouldn't have to rely on Jordan Goodwin to carry the slack.

i think we came in prepared to cover curry and butler but it was the rest of the warriors who did us in - they had the turnovers and rebounds and ball movement

honestly surprised we were cutting the lead down at times because we stunk up the place

 

[82CardsGrad]

17 turnovers… with only Book as a reliable scorer, turning the ball over that many times is not gonna win many games.

Oso is useless on offense, Allen's drives led to nothing. We need Green for more shot creation.
On D, we need work on switching etc. It's insane to let the role players Post and Moody shoot 9/14 3s uncontested, and 6/8 in 1st qrt. Positive yet was to see that Williams covered the 3p shots well, he's mobile enough.

So it's just not me?

Williams needs to be more involved in every game for better or worse. His development along with Fleming and Man are imperative if the suns want to be anything other than an average team.

Did like the fight in this game, it's a good sign.

Your right and why did Richards only play 4 min. ott did not play that crap team without Butler right

As I see it, Williams needs some help inside. He can't be the only Suns big man on the court.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Warriors played last night like the Suns were supposed to play with energy, hustle and defense. It was a step back from the Spurs game.

They have to play team defense.

ott pays attention and processes - no ego just basketball

Why the slow start for the team Jordan? It's been a weakness.

I wish fans could ask the questions…

 

[Chaplin]

Funny... both Butler AND Curry are out vs Sacramento tonight.

I also thought as a team, Golden State had a much better offense than the Spurs, and they were hot early on. That said, you are right, they needed to get more aggressive trying to get Golden State off the three point line.

Yeah, the Suns gave the Warriors everything they wanted inside and outside.

Quinten Post who had 14 points (4-6 from three) against the Suns, went scoreless against the Kings.

 

[Superbone]

Suns should have taken advantage of their height and power advantage down low. I would have liked to see Williams power the ball through the hoop more rather than try to finesse it.
