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

[Split T]

Goodwin is priority one this off season.

Okay, I went back and watched it again. Booker passes the ball away and Green literally punches Booker in the sternum. Right in front of Scott Foster. That's a common foul? Should have been a flagrant and an ejection for Green, instead he gets to go sit on the bench(it was his 6th foul) and keep yelling at Booker, baiting Booker into an ejection. I suspect a fine is coming for Green. I cannot wait until he is out of the league. If you are interested in watching it, it happens with about 1:07 left in the game.

What's your venmo? I believe the .net needs to reimburse

Very good effort from the guys tonight
That 2nd quarter offensive lull is what scares me going forward but as someone said we looked like we had our Identity tonight. The effort and scrappiness was definitely there.

Goodie is just amazing man
Happy for Jalen and I think he did well on the defensive side too
Yeah Book was favouring something but getting those switches against Horford made it easier to get those jumpers in the 4th

I really have no words for the whole Draymond thing. It's unbelievable really. Dude needs a psych eval

[bajanguy008]

Fair point
But Book still makes me nervous when getting blitzed

[bajanguy008]

Oh right....

[Shabazz]

Green was great. Goody was possibly better. But thought Oso was really solid in his minutes as well.

Two great late steals by Green, more impressive than the scoring to me.

[pickle]

Goodwin the modern version of Eric Snow?

Also love what I saw out of Highsmith. He doesn’t seem to be in great offensive rhythm but if he can be a 40% shooter from 3 I think he can be a very very solid 25 mpg guy (hoping Rasheer will make it hard on Ott to play Highsmith 30+ mpg next year).

Gotta respect Curry for encouraging Green.

Just wanna put this here cause dude really deserves his own reel showing exactly everything he does

Glad we won and got into the playoffs. We had bounce last night that the Ws couldn't match. Green's been hot but it's the consistency that's been missing over the course of his career so it'll be interesting to see how this carries over to the OKC series.

Thought Dunn was active in just his 6 minutes and it sucks he doesn't get more. Even his cutting along the baseline adds more movement so the defense has to account for him and he crashes the boards well. We play Royce 25 minutes and then get excited when he hits two 3s in a row but he really doesn't add much else IMO. I know the Ws are small so we got away with it, don't think it'll be the case against the Thunder but don't see Ott changing anything right now. Highsmith could be a nice addition to the rotation if he can stay healthy and give us minutes. Oso did well switching, had a great block on KP. We'll need him to come up big against OKC.

Props to Goodie for riding Curry all night. Hope he can bring that to the OKC series against Shai but I'd still like to see us throw multiple defenders at SGA big and small.

Fuck Draymond and Scott Foster. This is why fans are tuning out of the NBA. There's windup and intent from Draymond but not only is it not a flagrant but Book gets tossed too. The tech should be rescinded but doubt anything happens to Dray. Wish we had a goon who would just lay him out and take the 1 game suspension against OKC.

[Superbone]

Forget what I said about Jalen Green. He can stay as long as he wants!

[Superbone]

Hot Take: Foster is a pretty good official when he manages to keep his ego in check.

I think this bore out.

[Superbone]

This game has "choke" written all over it.

Oh?

[Superbone]

Draymond Green is such a bitch.

If ever there was a time to pour a popcorn bucket on somebody's head at the Suns arena, that was it. Missed opportunity.
