As fun as the winning streak is, Booker’s health is way more important. No need to bring him back until he’s 100%

My guess is CJ will start and get more minutes. That's a good thing ...

Where have you seen 3 weeks?

He missed 4 games in January with a left hammy pull FWIW. Not sure that that means anything with the current injury. Definitely don't want it lingering tho.

That's pretty much the best news possible in this situation.

I think Shel said the next game against Detroit is the trapiest of trap games, and I agree, especially with Booker out. OTOH, I can't really see Chris Paul letting them lose to the Pistons.

Don't think I said that but I'll take the credit.

We've won 17 in a row, beat the Ws on national TV. I think we beat the Pistons and maybe lose to the Ws on Friday. Book will be back in a week or 2.

Chris Paul has now had 17 game win streaks with 3 teams. The last two ended against top-tier teams. The Raptors in 2018 and the Nuggets in 2014 when Karl won COTY.

Booker's hamstring injury gives me painful flashbacks to KJ, who seemed to pull his hammy or some other muscle almost every year for a while there. He was an amazing PG and player but almost always was dealing with some kind of nagging injury.

I think he sits out the next 4-5 games. But with the schedule, that’s almost two weeks. So the timing isn’t bad.

I kind of foresaw this injury. We seem to stay relatively healthy, because most of the time it looks like we’re running at 80-85%. Yesterday was the first game I thought we were going full steam.

If you thought last night was a great matchup that lived up to the hype, hold onto your hats for the Christmas Day game.

It's very possible both Booker and Klay Thompson will be returning around the same time just before that game.

That game is my Christmas present this year…gotta work all day but excited to watch that when I get home! Should be a great one! As an nba fan I would love a Warriors/Suns playoff series…as a suns fan I wouldn’t mind if someone else took care of them first, but gotta imagine that would be an awesome series

I spent way too much time thinking about a playoff series with these teams last night. I eventually landed on it being similar to the Finals with the Suns in the role of the Bucks.

The Warriors simply don't have anyone to match the Suns size. Not to say Ayton will start dribble drive euro stepping into and-1's, but it's pretty clear the Suns have a huge advantage with Ayton and McGee.

We'll need Terrance Mann to break Steph's wrist in the previous series, but sure, I can see that.

That efficiency chart is interesting. Wow, didn't realize the Grizz and Nugs were at the bottom of defensive efficiency like that. And Toronto is way down despite having their nasty defensive rookie, Scottie Barnes. The Hawks having such good net ratings makes me think they're going to rise in the standings as the season goes on. They're just too talented not to. Some interesting teams way at the bottom of offensive efficiency, like the Sixers and the Clips. Look at the Wizards' placement, too. That looks like a team that is destined to drop in the standings soon.
