I said it before the season started, Phoenix is gonna be better than people think. They were being pegged as one of the two trash teams in the West along with Memphis. They have a lot high energy guys that are good at what they do and fulfilling their roles.

And yes, Sacramento is quite garbage. We're used to it!

In any event, I'm not sure how long the Suns keep this up, but it's fun to watch a team everyone wrote off actually going out there and getting wins. I feel sorry for the 'rebound' squad up next on the Clippers schedule.
Ya, that's gonna be the Hornets.

I feel sorry for them regardless of who they play

After that though, the schedule gets tough:

Back to back again the Jazz and Spurs,

Then the Jazz again,

Then a back to back against the Bucks and Portland.

Raptors, then Rockets.

Gonna see what this team is capable of really quick here.

Oh lawd. At least my man PJ Washington should probably be able to put up 20 shots before they pull the starters at halftime.

The Suns remind me of the Pacers teams of last couple years. Nobody gives them a chance to win but they're playing harder than their opponents and are in every game. Booker and Oladipo play the major scorer role and everyone else does their job. Jevon Carter/Rubio are finally the point guards the Suns have needed for a while and guys like Baynes, Saric and Kaminsky just do exactly whats needed.

Don't think they'll make the playoffs or anything but a 35-40ish win season would be a big improvement for the Suns.

Didn't the Clippers play like 3 games in 4 days or something (maybe it was 5)? Maybe they were just tired.

Meh. 3 games in 5 days. Not horrible. And it’s not like they’ve had to travel far. 2 games in Cali and the next night in AZ

Yep definitely not trying to make excuses for them. I'm not a clippers fan at all. I do think they have a great team though. Everyone has an off night once in awhile.

If the Clips are gonna let a team score 130 you're gonna lose..

Meanwhile OKC is coming for GS. They need some bodies back pronto. Steph/Dray and D. Lo are nice but the rest of that squad is atrocious.

Who's coming back back for GS?

Not Klay.

This might just be what they have to work with.

Should be fine through, right? I mean, LeBron has carried scrub teams deep into the playoffs before... I'm sure Steph can too, right?

Not this scrubby and definitely not in the West.....

The have 8 guys on their roster that really should be in the g-league.

But I kept hearing all preseason about how the Warriors would be fine.

Some of us didn’t think so. I still think they could miss the playoffs.

Ya. There were also people saying the Lakers (with lebron and AD) are going to miss the playoffs. Everyone knows crazy stuff is said on here. Lebron couldn't even take a team to the playoffs alone in the West. Steph won't be able to either.

Sir Charles may finally be right about something. He said the Warriors won't make the playoffs.

The west is so deep it's going to be an absolute battle for the last couple playoff spots. Every game is important, even the early season ones.

WCS and Looney are 30 min guys.

Who even are the replacements? M. Chriss is almost out the League and the rest are who?

You might want to go and check LeBron's teammates again from those "scrub" teams and see how long they produced in the League for.

I know there's a lot of pain that GS has inflicted on you. So enjoy your moment. But it won't help you move on from the pain.

You STILL going on with crap like this? Jesus, man, you don't have to defend Lebron every single day, especially when not even mentioned. Goodness it's tiresome.


This Warriors roster is gross. Can't believe a team as bad as OKC are trashing them.

I somewhat feel bad for Steph. But he’s got all those damn rings.

Time to let some fresh blood get a chance. Mavs want a spot. Every game is important. They need to beat the Portland as that will be one of the teams that stand in their way.

It was more of a shot at Curry and the dubs... but I figured you wouldn't be able to catch that and I was right.

I know it was. But you still had to bring Lebron into it, like you've been doing for years. It's pathetic. Please just stop.

Ha ha, you can literally help off 3 guys on GS. And that bench might be one of the worst I've ever seen.

They need to make moves. Simple. Have a look at OKCs team. That's not a bad team. They shouldn't be up 30 though.

Draymond Green finding out how hard it is to get assists with no Klay out there off the pin downs.

Just grow up. It's a forum where people come to talk about games and players. They don't need some bitter little dude bringing up Lebron everywhere it doesn't even involve him.

You often have quite good input - when not acting like this. Try to be a big person and let it go.
