Game Day (Play-In Tournament): Warriors (10th seed) @ Suns (7th seed), Fri 4/17/26

Win or go home. This could be it. The Warriors turned back the clock last night to storm back and take down the Clippers. Like the Suns, the Clippers were up 11 in the 4th quarter. Can the Suns withstand Curry magic and the Warriors championship pedigree? Can the Warriors muster up the magic two games in a row? Tune in Friday night to find out.

I would like to see more use of the bench. The Suns didn’t get here playing a 7-8 man rotation. I’m not saying go 14 deep, but the Suns SHOULD wear the Warriors out over 48 minutes.

I (intentionally) have not learned very much about gambling. That means that Vegas favors GSW to win, right? If so, that's a bit of a diss to us. We are the higher-ranked team and will be playing at home. That means gamblers expect us to choke. We'll see about that ...

Allen and Williams questionable. Maybe this is why we didn't see Williams in the 4th? More ManMan please.

I’m seeing Suns -3.5 on ESPN. I wonder if FF is looking at a bet on GS that gives even better payouts

He said "adjusted" line. Not sure what that means. Oh, I think it means he created his own bet favoring the Warriors. Yes, I'm seeing Suns -3.5 on FanDuel as well.

Warriors +9.5 with a 4.5 parlay and an over/under 273.

All 4 Play In games have had 5pt leads or less with 2mins left to play and NBA has to be quite happy

From a narrative standpoint, Warriors the Old Dynasty vs the New Dynasty easily gets more interest/ viewership than us making it in.... :?

I kinda feel like if we play another close game and lose to some Steph magic or whatever, that's better than wishing on a star against OKC. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Remember our Playoffs have been ending with getting blown out on our homecourt in elimination games which been brutal :( and during the season we had mentioned that OKC seems to be behaving all entitled so not interested in them showboating against us.

Losing both games at home as the 7th seed will come with it's criticism too but it's better than getting possibly swept with some double digit losses right ?!? :? :?

What a predicament smh :oops:

If Booker doesn’t show up in a big way tonight and Ott keeps on thinking we can play small I’m afraid this will be the end of the line tonight. It was a fun run but it seems like everyone’s gone cold since the all star break.

Starts with the coach. He has to put the team and players in a position to be successful and Ott hasn't been doing that.

That's right. I think the Warriors will win, so I'll get a better payout by betting them as a favorite when the books have them as underdogs.

The site I use has GSW +125 to win straight up. I'm getting +150 for them to win by 3 or more.
