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

mark williams is out

pretty much guarantees he will not be a sun next year imo

Oh we’re losing. No doubt. KP can play and Williams can’t. Done-zo.

On espn I think 6 of 9 chose warriors. If that’s not an indictment of book I don’t know what is.

I 100% feel that Man Man and Oso are no replacement for Mark Williams even combined. Grayson has been injury prone this season. However, I don't see how the Suns are better without finding his caliber somewhere else. So, it all depends on who replaces these players because IMO, we don't have proven replacements on this roster.

The Suns might be better off improving positions 1-4 and using role playing centers until Man Man is ready. I'd push Oso down the depth chart.

Unless the Suns can pull off a trade, the Suns are likely stuck with Allen because of his salary.

I'm hoping the Suns can find sign and trade options for both Allen and Williams.

It's looking that way unless he agrees to a prove it type contract.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the starters.

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Orlando is balls deep into Charlotte

 

[AzCardsfan76]

No Mark Williams.... Ugh, well, I guess it doesn't matter since Ott won't play him in the 4th anyway. Porzingis will dominate Oso.

I have a bad feeling about tonight, like Suns getting absolutely waxed when it counts, flashbacks to 2022/2023 during must win playoff games.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't have much confidence.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

it's what we should do tonight

A 7 seed at home should dominate this game

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I wonder what impact Nick Richards would have had if he was still on the team and was actually utilized.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

3 SGs a SF and a "PF" cool

In theory yes, haha, GS is 4-1 vs the Suns this season.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Ott is basing this lineup around his opponents strength. Golden St is small and he is going small

 

[Chaplin]

I'd put money on, "Not much."

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

here we go

 

[mjb21aztd]

Welpppp the suns stress n begins.... nervousss

 

[AzCardsfan76]

I'd put money on, "Not much."

Surely a few more rebounds... ;-)

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Oso sighting on offense???

 

[Mainstreet]

Jordan Goodwin thinks he is a power forward. That counts for something. Smile.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Oso has already matched his rebound total vs Portland, only took him 2 minutes vs 23. ;-)

 

[Russ Smith]

Podz playing like he bet on the Suns my god awful start

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Green keeping the 10th row on their toes with that pass, geezus that was awful.

Sorry buddy, the pros know if it comes down to it that curry is a better bet than Booker. Even at 101 years old.
