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

[Flagrant Fowl]

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

[Superbone]

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

We'd be the first 7th seed to do it for one thing.

[Superbone]

Oh Geeezus

Hey, at least Chris Paul is no longer on the team.

[ShelC]

Silver lining is his value is dropping for a new contract

Pussy.

Mark is a good player, but probably not worth what he will cost. With Booker making 70M you have to cut corners somewhere. My guess is they let him walk and we're starting Man man come Halloween.

[Mori Chu]

13-2, yes SIR!!!

[Mori Chu]

Goodwin is doing a great job hounding Curry.

[SunsRIt]

Just need to sustain this all game and make a statement.

[Mori Chu]

Excellent 1st quarter. Keep it up guys! Great defense and mostly decent shot selection and ball movement. Warriors clearly aren't their best selves, throwing away multiple balls and struggling with their shooting.

That’s our problem…. We can always start well, just can’t finish well.

So Dillon brooks has the size mismatch of Steph curry on him and he decides to launch a 3. Why?

[Shabazz]

Brooks point shaving in the 2nd.

[iLLmatic]

Well here we go. The first quarter was fun.

[virtual9mm]

Knew we were in trouble with Brooks as the primary option.

Ott playing a small ball lineup again. Suns on a mini run but this dude can’t help himself.

[virtual9mm]

Green is definitely an asset. Probably not worth the money and should be a microwave sixth man, but I am liking play-in Green.

So are the W's and I don’t mind if Oso is actually the biggest player on the floor.

Porzingis is small?

[iLLmatic]

Al horford is small?
