Suns @ Warriors Tuesday game thread, 10-24-2023 - SEASON OPENER

[Evil Ash]

Suns win the opener
Dbacks win the pennant

Today was a good day

 

[Shaggy]

Final:

Suns 108 - Warriors 104

Still a win after not playing their greatest. I'll take it.

 

[Russ Smith]

81-1 I guess!

Great game by Booker.

Now I gotta get some sleep

 

[Mainstreet]

I so liked how Booker didn't force a shot at the end of the game, the pass to Gordon and the pass to Nurkic.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That. Is. It.

The Suns get it done in San Fran

Put some respect on Booker's name - utilizing his team - if y'all gotta problem with the way we won tonight - where we won tonight - I can't help you

 

[Raindog]

Suns win the opener!

Nice game by Booker, Nurkic, Okogie, Eubanks.
Not as great game by Durant, Allen, Gordon. But I can't imagine the subpar shooting from them will continue.

 

[jagu]

Nurkic is so fun. Ayton isn't missed.

 

[Proximo]

Still a win after not playing their greatest. I'll take it.

They played like trash. That better be in the bottom 10% of our games.

 

[BirdGangThing]

And that was without Beal

Bad game but they hit shots when it was needed..

 

[jagu]

Suns played pretty good defense.

 

[95pro]

And that was without Beal

And Green.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Suns win!!! Not gonna lie I got too plastered after the Dbacks win … and woke up to check the Suns score just now. Whoo hoo what a great AZ sports night!!!!

 

[elindholm]

It's a good win, but it exposes what I've been concerned about, which is that the Suns have six or seven legitimate players and then a bunch of guys desperate to stay in the league. The bench plus Allen shot 10-36, with 8 assists and 8 turnovers. Even if everyone is healthy, Vogel is going to have to get quality bench minutes from somewhere.

I was wrong about Okogie. He has enough intangibles to have secured a spot, and when he's making shots, he's a real asset.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Everybody doesn't have to have a good night every night - the goal is to win the game - that's what team is - everybody that everybody's giving up on after just 4 quarters - it's temporary - they'll be heroes next week - but go head

 

[zett]

Suns by 4

Nailed it!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns aren't exposed
KD isn't washed
Grayson is still a good player
Nurk more than dressed to impress
We won the freaking game

Beal, Booker, KD, Nurkic, Watanabe, Gordon, Okogie, Allen

 

[Mainstreet]

What more can one ask?

Winning on the road against a good team when the Suns don't play well.

Only good teams do this.

 

[Raindog]

A little surprised the Suns didn't go any deeper on the bench... no KBD or Metu tonight.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Just beat a championship team on their own court in their home opener - and I'm about to have breakfast for dinner - don't cry for me Argentina

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Beal, Booker, KD, Nurkic, Watanabe, Gordon, Okogie, Allen

Eubanks for sure, Goodwin may still prove to be a solid rotation player. This game was one game, doesn't expose anything.

 

[95pro]

A little surprised the Suns didn't go any deeper on the bench... no KBD or Metu tonight.

I think we may see them against bigger teams.
