Suns @ Warriors Saturday game thread 12-28-2024

[Mainstreet]

The Suns should be a better passing team, but they are not.

 

[Hoop Head]

Jackson-Davis is just having his way inside. Oso needs some strength training.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Warriors 34 - Suns 27

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson-Davis is just having his way inside. Oso needs some strength training.

He was a find by the Warriors.

 

[Hoop Head]

If Okogie was 4-5 inches taller he'd be an All Star. His hustle is unmatched. I like how he's been used more inside in sort of the traditional big spot on offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

I understand Nurkic and Plumlee are not athletic, but I'm a bit perplexed why opponents play with more energy than the Suns.

It's not all talent.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good hustle by Monte.

 

[Hoop Head]

Call me a hater, the Suns look much better while KD is on the bench. The ball is moving, guys are rotating.

 

[Hoop Head]

Plumlee bringing the ball up is perplexing. I thought maybe he was doing what he felt necessary in preseason but here we are 2 months into the season and he still does it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal gives the Suns a 3 point lead.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with the Suns leading 48-43.

 

[Hoop Head]

Oso is lucky he doesn't get called for a lot of fouls when he sets screens with his hands. Not sure what that's about.

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm not crazy, the Suns did play better without KD out there.

Oso needs to work on that runner.

Royce is hurt. We're screwed.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce is injured.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce is being helped off the court.

[Hoop Head]

Ankle injury is likely better for the Suns than a Knee injury but still, he's done for a 3-4 weeks. I'd be surprised by any sooner.

 

[Hoop Head]

That buzzer beater by Curry was insane.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 65 - Warriors 61

 

[Hoop Head]

Buzzer beater by Curry

[Mainstreet]

Beal puts up an air ball.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce will not return. He has a reported left ankle sprain.

 

[Hoop Head]

Who says no?

[Hoop Head]

Suns have 8 turnovers, 5 to KD. 1 to Tyus, Okogie, and Mason.

Can't play lazy. Warriors know KD has no velocity on his passes so they can snatch them away without issue.

6 turnovers this quarter as a team.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 87 - Warriors 82
