Warriors @ Suns 3-17-18

[Mainstreet]

The Warriors visit the Suns on Saturday and it's a battle of who won't play.

Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m. Arizona time.

Earlier I penciled this in as a Suns loss. It's starting to look precarious.

Here is the game update from Scott Bordow.

Warriors at Suns

When: 7 p.m.

Where: Talking Stick Resort Arena

TV/radio: FSAZ/KTAR 98.7 FM

Update: The story line coming into the game isn’t who will play but who won’t play. Stephen Curry (ankle) and Klay Thompson (thumb) are out for Golden State, Kevin Durant (ribs) was held out of Friday’s game against Sacramento and is listed as questionable, and Draymond Green (shoulder) may not go in back-to-back games after playing against the Kings. For Phoenix, guard Devin Booker (right hand sprain) is questionable and the Suns are waiting to hear if Marquese Chriss will be suspended for his shove of Utah guard Ricky Rubio Thursday. This is only the second meeting of the year between the two teams; the first game was notable for Golden State coach Steve Kerr letting his players coach during timeouts.

An injury update.

So, no Durant, Curry or Thompson tomorrow for Warriors. And Booker questionable. Guessing not going to be a good night for ticket brokers

7:59 PM - 16 Mar 2018

The Warriors appear in position to lose the game.

Pretty impressive that Chriss avoided a suspention for that. I don't understand how they can avoid admitting that they play favorites because I'm pretty sure if Chriss had shoved Steph Curry or Chris Paul to the ground like he did Rubio, he would've been suspended multiple games for it.

I wasn't aware they had made a decision. It may still be coming.

Durant will reportedly be out 2 weeks because of a rib injury.

This is one of those games I hate. If we win we didn’t prove anything because we would be beating a nothing team and it would cost us in the tank. If we lose it’s just so disheartening to lose to such a depleted squad.

 

[Mainstreet]

No suspensions for Chriss or Dudley.

Breaking news: Chriss and Dudley fined $25,000 apiece. No suspensions.

Booker playing with a splint on his shooting hand. McD is the most ingenious tanker of all. Tank by playing your best player. Just make him play one handed.

I thought the fingers were taped the last game. Is a splint something new?

I see it now.

Triano said Booker will have to wear a splint on sprained right hand to play and splint affects Booker's ability to shoot the ball.

Tyson Chandler will not play.

Booker will be a game time decision.

scott bordow‏Verified account@sbordow


Booker will go through pregame warmup before determining whether he plays

5:25 PM - 17 Mar 2018

 

[Cheesebeef]

why the f are they even bothering playing a shooter who's shooting hand is banged up?

 

[Cheesebeef]

my lord... I just watched the Chriss play. I don't know that I've ever seen anyone AIRBALL a dunk. Climbing to new heights of low. Amazing.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

At the game. Don't see Booker warming up with the rest of the team.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Heard a huge applause, thought Booker was coming out. It was the Warriors. It's like we're in Oakland.

 

[Mainstreet]

At the game. Don't see Booker warming up with the rest of the team.

Maybe wrapping his fingers. He disappeared like this the other night.

Knicks beat Hornets and Nets beat Mavericks

Kings lead Jazz and Nuggets-Grizzlies in a close game.

Bender hits a 3 pointer for the Suns first points.

Shai Alexander looked good today for Kentucky. He is so smooth.
