Warriors @ Suns 11-9-14

[AfroSuns]

This is going to be a "guards game"..hope the Suns can pull out a win and be a streak buster.
GSW are on back to back.. Suns need to takes advantage.

 

[AfroSuns]

Dragic seem to be hitting his jumpers for now

 

[AfroSuns]

Tolliver finally hitting a 3

 

[AfroSuns]

Curry with another instant 5 pts....the second in this game

 

[AzStevenCal]

Tolliver finally hitting a 3

People keep saying this. He's 4 for 10 going into tonight's game.

Excuse me for forgetting <sarcasm>

So, Dragic scores 13 points... the Suns take him out and then they don't give him the ball in the second quarter.

I didn't realize you were being sarcastic but I'd probably say the same thing I did anyway. It's amazing how many people keep harping on his ability to make the three. He shot poorly in preseason but he seems to have found his range. He probably isn't shooting enough of them but I have more concerns about the other things he's not doing out there.

There you go Eric...

 

[Phrazbit]

I think NBA refs are bad, but they're normally equal opportunity bad. However, tonight we are getting jobbed. This is a hard enough team to beat without them getting every 50/50 call.

Good to see Dragic has come alive.

 

[Phrazbit]

What a different team this second half. Burying this Warrior team.

 

[Lefty]

What a great 4th quarter this is.

 

[Chaplin]

36-12 in the 4th quarter. THAT'S how you put teams away. IT, dang... He's pretty good...

I know the Warriors were on a back-to-back, the league's leading scorer was in foul trouble and they have a couple of key injuries, but the Suns were not a given to win this game.

They won it with a traditional POINT GUARD AND SHOOTING GUARD backcourt, who blew the Warriors out of their undefeated status in the 4th quarter. At one point, we had 3 times as many points in the 4th as they, as you pointed out.

Let's hear it for a traditional backcourt!

 

[Mainstreet]

IT and Green were huge in the 4th quarter. I'm pleased to see Hornacek stay with Plumlee in the quarter as well. This was a win the Suns needed badly. The wheels were starting to wobble.

Are you talking about 5'1 Isaiah Thomas? He's as much a combo guard IMO as any of our other combo guards. IMO, they won it because the refs flipped their script and decided to screw the Warriors instead of us. Or they won it because of Tucker's hustle and intensity. Or they won it because Green and Thomas were hot. I don't think Green got hot because there was a traditional point guard next to him. You could put him next to a penguin and if it's Green's time to get hot, he'll burn the nets. But Thomas notwithstanding, you could make the case we won it by going big. The turnaround with Thomas, Green, Tucker, MM15 and Plumlee was fun to watch.

Suns don't have 3 point guards they have 3 deadly offensive weapons. 4 with Green.

 

[sunsfan88]

Good win but whole different ball game if they weren't missing Thompson and Lee. With the way we were defending, this could have been one of those games where Thompson drops like 30+ on crazy good 3pt shooting.

I wonder how Steve Kerr feels that his first loss as a coach in the NBA is to the Suns in his return to Phoenix.

Not good?

 

[sunsfan88]

Glad Isaiah Thomas was able to come out and have a great game after the pathetic performance he put up on Friday against the Kings.

Yeah, it's a good thing his grandfather didn't die again just before the game.

My condolences to the Thomas family.

I'd like to think that IT's grandfather was looking down proudly.

I think you could have said that more respectfully (not just to me, but IT), but that's fine, I have noticed your snarky remarks lately on both forums. Quite unusual of you but I kinda let it go earlier thinking you may be dealing with something in your personal life and you were letting off the steam here.

Anyway, I didn't even know his grandfather passed away. Extremely sorry for him and my best wishes to him and has family. That said, there have been athletes who have used such a tragic event to motivate themselves even more, playing proudly for their loved one they lost

C'mon dude, way to show your condolence. We grieve in different ways. The way IT handle his loss may not be the same way Torrey does his, losing a loved one is never easy.
