Suns @ Warriors 3-12-16

[slinslin]

24 seconds and nobody comes out to set a pick for Booker..

 

[GatorAZ]

Hanging with the big boys but Curry will be in to start the 4th.

 

[Catlover]

Okay, so we now have one game that shows Knight can be a good player in this league when he's playing next to decent players (as opposed to what he was surrounded by after Bledsoe first went down). I think that's all we need to see. If he'll take the backup spot, keep him. If not, trade him. Either way, sit him for the rest of the season. We don't need the wins.

One of the warriors gave Booker's face a high five while he tried to hit that layup.

Putting another NBA starting caliber player into the starting lineup improves us greatly. Our lottery position was pretty safe with Price in the starting lineup but now, with Knight, all it takes is a decent game from Chandler or Tucker to put us into game contention. We might need to start resting key players, namely Knight, Chandler and Tucker.

Agree! Suffered way too much this season not to get that top 3picks

 

[AfroSuns]

Wow, 7pts erased just like that

The refs have taken advantage of us this game but that's okay.

Don't get me wrong- I am OK with losing this game, but the officiating has been awful. Booker totally got smacked in the face and no call. Any Sun looks at any Warrior- it's a foul. This is ridiculous!

 

[Sunburn]

Live by the hero ball, die by the hero ball. As good as Knight's 3rd q was, he was still doing it on dribble step back 3 pointers. Statistically a terrible shot...

I'm waiting for someone to lay out Curry one of these days, the guy has become so cocky.

Seriously? The guy is a video game. For what he does, seems pretty laid back to me.

 

[Catlover]

The GS announcers just compared Booker to Grant Hill.

 

[Sunburn]

Need Len on the court. Still hasn't learned when to conserve his fouls.

 

[Catlover]

I agree and I've very old school. He goes a little too far occasionally but most of the time it looks like jubilation or playing to the audience rather than in-your-face mocking so I'm okay with it.

 

[slinslin]

Knight can't throw lobs..

I'm not so sure about Curry being cocky but I am surprised teams are not really fouling him hard.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len and Booker with 5 fouls each.

 

[Sunburn]

Haha fun game to watch

 

[Phrazbit]

Knight is hitting his shots but watching him play is grating. He thinks he is Curry.

 

[Catlover]

Golden State announcer: Phoenix has played like a team 10 games above .500. And he's right, this is easily the best we've played since Bledsoe went down and maybe even before that. Golden State is looking like the team that has dominated this league and yet we've stayed right with them for most of this game.

 

[Sunburn]

Knight is hitting his shots but watching him play is grating. He thinks he is Curry.

Agreed

 

[slinslin]

Hope we don't bring Teletovic back, 1-trick pony and a total sieve on defense.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Good game. Great loss.

With Booker on the bench he needed to. I think he's played great today, most of his shots came naturally. And fortunately for us he deferred to Booker often, allowing him to run the offense.

I'd like to bring Mirza back as a bench player whose shooting can spread the court. Also he plays hard.
