Stud. He’s even starting to warm the void that used to house Saucy’s cold, dead heart.

[Nodack]

The Suns totally embarrassed the Warriors. A real shellacking! If they keep playing this good people might start giving them a little credit.

Clay couldn’t handle the truth. The truth that Booker is now better than him. The truth that he’s had two surgeries and is getting old.

Why is Klay Thompson pointing to his wrist when he's talking about rings?

Really good, convincing win. So much for the bad vibes, the rift between Monty and DA, CP being cooked and our bench being non-existent. That's not to say we're the best team out there, but we're still a force even with things like CP and the bench still rounding into form.

Book's taken his game to another level. It's still very early and hopefully Mikal and Cam can bring it a bit more so Book doesn't burn out doing all the heavy lifting.

Looked like they made a concerted effort to get Mikal going in the 2nd half and he stepped up with some offense. Cam had some opportunities as well but had an off shooting night.

DA played well and had a good line but he's frustrating to watch near the basket. I love his post offense and he's near automatic with his turnaround jumpers and hooks, but just plays too small when he's underneath the basket. I know it won't change, doesn't make it any less frustrating.

CP with a great shooting night from 3. He doesn't need to look for offense, but he needs to hit the open shots when they're there. I think he's pacing himself and also trying to get the other guys to take on a bigger role, but may have played too conservatively the first 3 games. We need him shooting.

Payne looks good, still a rollercoaster but we need his speed and ability to attack a defense. Probably a career night from Landale...just hope he can keep it up as teams will be ready for him more and more now that he's on the radar. Nothing from Landry but he didn't hurt us and helped spell Book for a bit. Lee brought the energy and hustle. TC hit his 3s which we really need this season.

We've been tested well so far and haven't been phased. Just gotta keep grinding and getting better.

It's worth noting that if we had lost this game, everybody in here would have been whining and moping about how this loss means we can't hang with the Warriors and are not a real title contender. Well, we absolutely crushed the defending champs at full strength. What does that win mean? Not saying we're title favorites or something, but let's appreciate what a big statement win this was, and how much wins like this can carry over to an eventual postseason matchup months from now. I really like that our guys are not afraid of the Warriors and won't be pushed around.

It’s hilarious seeing all the Warriors fans blaming the refs.

It’s hilarious seeing all the Warriors fans blaming the refs.

There were missed calls, for sure, on both sides. But I didn't think the officiating was any worse than a normal NBA game. And the free throw differential was clearly because we were driving more and they were settling for 3s and long jumpers most of the night.

Shamet still playing like butthole bologna.

[Mori Chu]

That stretch with all the ticky-tack fouls and techs was a bit painful to watch. But I don't think the refs were in our pocket last night, not even close. The Warriors got several questionable calls in their favor as their guards and swings would stumble and draw calls.

Shamet still playing like butthole bologna.

I'll be sure to avoid that deli ...

Seriously, he, Saric and Crowder are likely trade fodder (no surprise).
My guess is Jones is waiting to see which Eastern Conference team needs help and has a valuable player on the block.

As we know, your mental acuity starts to slip with age.

[Superbone]

Cam Johnson is playing himself into a 4 year, 40 million dollar contract.

[Superbone]

This was pretty funny.

[INFORMER]

At least Ayton is out performing the more recent big man who was over drafted.

I don't think he was overdrafted. Of course LaMelo is light years ahead of him, but Wiseman still has a lot of promise. Losing a year to injury doesn't help, and you won't see him featured on the Warriors like you would have if he were drafted by just about any other lottery team.

[INFORMER]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Klay so riled up

I wonder what hooked him. That was really weird. I thought it was just old-fashioned, Jordan-era jawing, which I love, but it really got to him. Kind sad to see. Klay has got to keep his head; he has accomplished too much and been in the league too long to get baited like that.

[INFORMER]

Smfh
I so sorry he got ejected

I happy Klay made it back from the significant injury but many know he took some terrible shots last playoffs and was talking a much bigger game than he was showing
With all the Top 75 talk and Grizzlies stuff

Man I really wanted Book to get to go at him

People were losing their minds over Klay Thompson last year: so many hot takes about how the Warriors are nothing without him and how he actually is better than Steph Curry. SMH.

[INFORMER]

What are the odds Klay makes an ass of himself in the postgame?

He didn't talk to the media.

It was hilarious. Booker's son.
