Warriors @ Suns 3-17-18

[Mainstreet]

Bender is at center.

 

[Hoop Head]

Still two quarters to go. Never underestimate the Suns' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

And it looks like I did underestimate them, down 10 now after 2 FT's.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson know how to use the glass on his shot which speaks well for his shooting.

I had the Suns blowing out the Warriors earlier.

Josh Jackson is a baller that was a great pass

Definitely. He is in constant motion.

 

[Mainstreet]

After 3rd quarter:

Warriors 94 -Suns 85

Jackson has 28 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ulis tries to challenge Livingston shot and fouls. It's not going to happen.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chriss is quietly having a nice game with 8 points and 5 rebounds.

This has to be his best game so far. He was picked as the guy who would be the best player from his draft class in 5 years by the GM Survey before the season and now I see why. I didn't see him play in college and he started the season pretty rocky. You can see the improvements he's made already. It doesn't appear that he's just on a hot streak, it looks more like he's understanding the NBA game more and more and making the right decisions.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson with a career high 30 points so far.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson down on the court but gets up.

It looks like he banged up his right shoulder but hits his FTs.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Warriors 124 - Suns 109

Jackson with 36 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

 

[Mainstreet]

Kings lost to the Jazz tonight.

Suns own last place in the league.

 

[Finito]

This is exactly why I don't see TJ Warren as part of the future. Booker gone and where is Warren? Nowhere to be found.
He's just so inconstant and not agressive enough.

It's clear Jackson is the future at the 3.

Bender and Chriss ugh

 

[Hoop Head]

Warren is only effective as the 2nd or 3rd option. When he's the main scorer on the floor he can get shut down easily since he doesn't have consistent 3pt range. He's still a good player but on a winning team he should be the 6th man, bringing a scoring punch off the bench. Since he's been in the league 4 years I don't see him developing a consistent 3pt shot but that's the only way he'll keep the starting job with Jackson on his tail.

 

[GatorAZ]

This is our year!

 

[Hoop Head]

This didn't sound like a home game on TV. Way too many Warriors fans in attendance. That wouldn't bother me as much except all of those Warrior fans are only bandwagon fans. Highly unlikely they know about the Run TMC Warriors or even the Baron Davis, Monte Ellis, and Jason Richardson Warriors that upset the Mavericks as the 8th seed.

On FSAZ it sounded like a Warriors home game. I bet they don't remember Chris Mullin either.

yeah... I think Warren is a classic meaningless stat guy. An "Armon Gilliam type" Barkley used to refer to back in his heyday. A guy who puts up really nice stats... on terrible teams... because SOMEONE has to score. Or... for better reference... an Eric Bledsoe. No one has to gameplan for them. They can get their points, because that's literally almost everything they're going to contribute to the game.

He doesn't spread the floor... he doesn't play D... he's not a great rebounder. And he's starting in front of the future. I'd love to see him as a sixth man, but would be surprised if he was as efficient... and a sixth or seventh man at 10 million bucks? I don't know. Maybe that's going rate for that in today's cap.

Final:

Warriors 124 - Suns 109

Len will never have a game like that his whole career.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Len will never have a game like that his whole career.

True. But to be fair, he will never take 23 shots in a game either. I am not a fan of Len, but that seemed like an odd comparison to me.

It's just that Jackson is a rookie and is already showing his stuff. We've waited on Len forever.

Ahh. Understood, and agreed.

I’ve just waited for him to be gone... from the second we drafted him.
