Suns @ Warriors Saturday game thread 12-28-2024

[Mainstreet]

In the second night of back-to-back games, home and away, the Suns travel to San Francisco to play the Warriors on Saturday.

The Warriors are 15-15 after losing at the Clippers on Friday. They played without Stephen Curry.

Phoenix is 15-15 after losing at home to the Mavericks.

I understand Devin Booker will be out for the game.

It will be interesting to see if Stephen Curry and Draymond Green play on Saturday.

I expect Schroder to light up the Suns.

Steve Kerr will have the Warriors ready to play tomorrow. If the Suns don't show up, it will be an embarrassing loss.

The Suns are looking a lot like "Humpty Dumpty" these days.

Two teams play each other tonight, both with identical records, but it feels like they are headed in different directions.

I'm not hearing the same optimism from the Suns camp.

 

[Superbone]

If the Warriors are where they need to be then the Suns are too. Both started strong and then petered out.

saved my last two nuclear brownies for tonight

This will be high scoring with no defense. Who can hit more 3's? I wouldn't bet against Steph.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mason Plumlee will start tonight with Jusuf Nurkic suspended for three games.

Tip-off.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal knocks down a three to open the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Dunn hit an early three.

Suns lead 8-6.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thankfully, Beal is on target tonight.

 

[Hoop Head]

I normally agree with EJ's takes but him saying KD saved Golden State as Cleveland was a better team from 2016 onwards is a stretch. Golden State won 73 games and were up 3-1 over those Cavs. If Draymond doesn't get suspended, Cleveland never comes back in that series.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout Suns who trail 25-18.

 

[Hoop Head]

Easy run against a lifeless Suns team. Where's the fire?

 

[Mainstreet]

To say the Suns do not have a good defense is being kind.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kevin Durant is now 1-5 from the field for 3 points.

 

[Hoop Head]

To say the Suns do not have a good defense is being kind.

I want to say Bud recognizes that, which is why we seemingly keep Dunn or Okogie on the floor at all times. They're the only 2 who can be counted on every possession but they can't guard 5 positions.

The Warriors always play with fire, even coming off a 50 point loss. The Suns do not seem to have the same mentality.

 

[Hoop Head]

Kevin Durant is now 1-5 from the field for 3 points.

And his 1 make was forced over 2 defenders where he got a lucky roll. It came after a quick Steph jumper, almost like KD was trying to answer back but unlike Steph, KD didn't get space or a clean look.

 

[Hoop Head]

Another quick shot by KD after posting Kuminga but it looked better.

 

[Hoop Head]

Lazy pass
