Game Day: Warriors (57-23) @ Suns (20-60), Sun 4/8/18

[Superbone]

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBATV

The Suns final home game of their 2nd worst season ever and 50th year of franchise history. Suns just want to finish this thing out so we can begin our ascent from the ashes in year 51. One of the few bright spots:

Jackson had 22 points, 11 rebounds and two steals in a 122-103 loss to New Orleans on Friday, his eighth straight game with at least 15 points and multiple steals. Michael Jordan (10, 1984) and Allen Iverson (nine, 1997) are the only other rookies with streaks of at least eight games in those categories, according to BasketballReference.com.

Jackson had scored at least 15 points in 12 straight games, joining Philadelphia's Joel Embiid as the only rookies to have such a streak in the last three seasons.

"Obviously I've come a long way, I think, and I just owe it all to being a student of the game and wanting to become better," Jackson said.

Go Suns!!!

I think they knew Booker was out for the season long time ago but wanted to avoid any potential fines for tanking even though this time it is a legit injury.

Nitpicking here a bit but he could've shouted out the coaches or some teammates for helping him along. Sounds like he's just patting himself on the back.

What's going on with Williams? Did he have an injury setback?

I find it hilarious that all these players are out on "fan appreciation" night. Everyone should get a puppy and a bottle of Xanax for enduring this miserable season.

They should give each fan who attends a toy tank.

Smart to keep Jackson out so that it won't look so bad when he doesn't play the final game against the Mavs.

I feel for the fans who bought tickets to see this halfhearted effort months in advance, before they knew how little the team cared about them.

Thank god I was able to watch some games in person before the season went to hell. That win against Minnesota in November was awesome.

A little melodramatic, don't you think? You can't have it both ways. Do you want the best odds for the top pick or not?

I never did hear about your experience in Phoenix. Glad you got to witness that.

They care about the long-term. They can put on a much better show for much longer if they suck it up and blow these last two games.

Let’s seal this L real quick then spank Dallas to end the year. Just flush this season down the toilet and hope to never have to experience one like it again.

Not for another 50 years anyway.

He has to be the fattest player in the league

Dragan has played well tonight. He’s clearly the most talented Sun out there. Making all the right decisions tonight.
