Warriors @ Suns Thursday game Thursday, December 18th, 2025

[Russ Smith]

Sure hope to see some screens to take advantage of Curry on offense, but not sure how much our system is based on taking advantage of mismatches. We need a good game soon, someone has to hit 20+ like Allen, Royce or Collin.

It's how everyone we play attacks him. It's not just because of Curry mind you it's because of how small the Warriors are, especially when Post is out. They know if they get a switch they can post up and if the double comes from a big, there's no size whatsoever underneath.

cool thing about russ - he'll show up after the warriors game whether they win or lose

 

[leclerc]

Yeah, I like reading posts from Russ and Brian even though they don't root for the Suns. Not so much after a Suns loss, but still, keep at it guys

 

[Proximo]

I really think we win this one. Sure the team is hungry for a win, and GS not playing that well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Grayson Allen is QUESTIONABLE for this one. So is Isaiah Livers which is an upgrade.

omg finally gameday

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

no clue what to expect tonight except a lot of fight - almost 30 games in and somehow it's about more than just wins - we expected rookie development but we're seeing player development - including devin booker who's learning a new way to ball - learning how to lead without doing it all

this whole season to me is like a 80+ game training camp and im hopeful for a tad bit of playoff experience in at the end - teams that stay together play together - im excited

I feel like we never have a full roster anymore. Is this the new nba? Is it softer players (won’t push themselves? Are the hyper level athletes too “hyper” in their full year prep and overdeveloped bodies breaking down? Over cautious training staffs? Super conservative organizations? I know we’ve always had our share of injuries-riddled players like kj and later-career Barkley. But I really can’t recall a time where there was literally ALWAYS a player (much less 2-3) sitting out games . . . every game.

Is it just the suns and im oversensitive to it, or is this the norm, like it feels, league wide?

 

[Russ Smith]

FYI Kerr said yesterday that Kuminga had a great week of practice and will play tonight. Probably won't start but i guess he's back in the rotation. Kerr is just weird with Kuminga I gave up trying to figure it out, but he's playing tonight.

Definitely the new normal.

I feel its our training staff. We are really not injured due to things like accidents, like turning your ankle during pre game layups. It's the groin and hammy type stuff that sets us back. Even Beal was somewhat healthy for a period prior to joining us, then poof he was injure a lot with us.

Yes, the Suns need Royce hitting those threes. Wonder if they will bring up Koby Brea.

The Suns would be starting two power forwards in Lilliputian land in Brooks and O'Neale.

 

[Mainstreet]

Al Horford and Pat Spencer are out for the Warriors.
