Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
Our shooting was poor tonight, Okogie, Yuta and Nurkic on the other hand were great for the Suns, GG guys, well played.

Steph 4-14 from 3 damn. In a 4 pt loss that doesn't look good.
I feel like it would be more efficient if he kept 3fga to below 10 and tried going for more midrange.
Super impressed by Okogi... Grayson Allen, not so much...
Saric was godawful tonight. Seriously think they shoulda tried out Jackson-Davis at some points just to see what he could do. Also Paul looked great and holy shit the Warriors got killed by Okogie.
This was a pretty sloppy game from Phoenix and it was as clear as day that the Warriors were missing Dray offensively.
The Suns will be a lot better moving forward but man Durant and Curry both played like ass this game. I guess they are besties after all.
Can I say something controversial here?
I really don’t like how reckless Gary Payton Jr is. Hell of a defender, hell of a ticking time bomb. Ended under many suns jumpshots this game. Sent a lot of guys to the floor.
Suns should be okay if Beal is taking those 16 wide open shots instead of Gordon lol
Josh Okogie, the new Naz Reid
Well I don’t feel completely awful tonight
Bradley Beal’s back hurts after carrying them through that game.
Biggest takeaway of tonight is that the denver nuggets are levels above the rest of the west
Lack of highlights on this subreddit is concerning, wheres the booker to nurcic highlight
Warriors are old and tired, would be surprised if they finish the season over .500
15 pts from Klay and 10 from Wiggins ain’t gonna cut it if the Warriors wanna make some noise again imo. Steph’s too old to do it on his own anymore.
You need firepower to compete in the West. It’s an arms race… Warriors needed rocket launchers and, tonight at least, they had pea shooters lol
#2^nd-3^rd options on offense:
Jamal Murray & MPJ combined for 33 pts
KD & Nurkic combined for 32 pts
Klay & Wiggins combined for 25 pts
Theres a 7 point difference between Nuggets & Suns #2-3 & Warriors #2-3. Warriors lost by 4. There’s the difference right there.
As a previous Chris Paul hater, I like what I saw from his play making and keeping the offense under control while Curry was on the bench in 3rd. Wont expect 34 min every night but solid 25-30min and staggering 2 guard lineup as much as possible would benefit defense/ rebounding.
Can we take a second and acknowledge just how awful those postgame questions were?
Chuck nailing the nurkic pronunciation. It’s different every time, love it.
GP2 a plus-minus god as usual
Dude smoking and vaping behind Kenny lol
Nurkic brings a different element to this team, his passing IQ, hard screen setting and 3pt ability is gonna benefit the suns offense better.
All Ayton wanted to do was catch it off a pick and shoot a mid range 🚮
Great games from Nurk and Okogie. Warriors have some pesky perimeter defenders, but that backline rotation misses Draymond a LOT
Not what you want to see from EG, Allen, and KD. Not sure how the Suns won. Can’t wait to watch the playback on leaguepass since I missed the game celebrating the DBacks going to the World Series. GG warriors
What is defense?
Ugly dogfight of a game. Only gonna get spicier in the West…
Both the Suns and Warriors have a lot of positives to take from this one. Suns are gonna win a whole lot of games...their role players are gonna thrive playing off their stars and Beal is gonna be the second playmaker/ballhandler this team really lacked today and it was a glaring absence. Booker/KD (and Beal) gravity elevates their teammates. Booker's become a solid playmaker and Nurk is great in the PnR.
Nurk and Okogie size, physicality, and Okogie's energy, was way too much for the Warriors to deal with. The backups were able to push back but not the starters. Starting lineup too small and didn't match the intensity Okogie and Nurk were bringing to the table. Gordon had multiple strong defensive possessions late and made a few threes...he's gonna look a lot better when he's playing off the ball as we saw at the end with Book on the ball, than he did most of the game as the lead ballhandler.
Warriors biggest question mark going forward beyond their lack of size is whether they can find that true second option to Steph offensively. I love how aggressive as a scorer CP3 was today....can he survive that way, playing huge minutes, still pretty ball dominant. I enjoy how he was pushing the ball up the floor today more than we have seen of him the last year.
Warriors schedule is extremely difficult ahead and if Draymond can't return they are looking at probably being in a hole record wise unless they can turn around their road woes.
Nurkic haters in shambles
KD with the cool 32% from the field
I think Chris Paul and the Warriors watched Chuck tell them their cooked. Way to piss them of Chuck. Damn.
If actually healthy. Nurkic is better than ayton overall fuck it I said it. He’s more active and brings understanding of role and skill
Two r***** fighting
Just happy to not have to watch Ayton anymore.
Lakers v Warriors playin game gonna be lit 🔥
The Suns got great role players
Still weird as hell to see CP3 in a Warriors jersey
Know they lost and he didn't shoot amazingly but was dunking seeing Dario have a good game again.
Dude was everywhere on defence and keeping the offence flowing making the extra passes.
Still a shame he hasn't been as good since covid but the warriors are the perfect team for a small ball center like dario
Who's happy that GSW sucked tonight??? Me: 🙋♀️
LWarriors
Watching Grayson brick shots triggered me as a bucks fan
Wiggins needs a haircut or something to shake off his cobwebs
Did Andrew Wiggins think he was on the Wolves again? That was his performance as a Warrior.
Really liked what I saw from Okogie, but damn Durant was out there chuckin’ bricks
Anyone know why that person was escorted out? I tuned in after whatever happened. Was someone hurt?
Moody was on fire. Don’t understand why Kerr only played him 18 mins
I’ve had a rough weekend plus beginning of week sports teams losing. I’m Pakistani. We lost to Afghanistan over the weekend in the World Cup of cricket(first time they beat us in 50 over match). 49ers lose to Vikings last night. Dubs lose tonight.
3-11 and 4-14.. Basketball is plain ugly sometimes
Having the ball in Paul's hands really helped with the overall turnovers for the Warriors. 11 is historically low for this group.
