    I’m not gonna sit here and pick a side and say the Warriors are better, or the Suns are better, even though Golden State is my team. Both teams have their strengths and their weaknesses. What I will say though, even though Phoenix ran roughshod through the league this season, every time they played Golden State they struggled mightily, even when they beat them. Not once this season did they ever manhandle Golden State like they did the majority of every other team in the league, so if I were a Suns fan I would be a little worried right now. Both teams are great and I hope we get to watch them battle it out in the WCF.

      What are you talking about? The Suns beat the warriors by 22 points in the first matchup this season, you’re a casual bruh

    ayton gave giannis baseline like 4 times a game Lol he’s an average defender. suns back me up by not wanting to pay him

    I believe the warriors will beat Suns if they meet. BUT BUT I do not think they’ll pass Memphis. So I’m praying for T wolves to take out the trash for GSW.

    GSW lineups disqualified for smallball
    cuz Draymond Grease is Too Fat!

    Warriors should hope for Phx for as good as they are. Curry is CP’s kriponyte.

    Side note they should have held Wiseman until playoffs. With extra time he would have had discomfort but could contribute

    dont forget Perkins is the ultimate warriors hater ever since they beat him in 2015 finals.
    picked them to lose every series the yr they went to finals with kd injured
    picked Denver last week. will still pick against them when they are holding the trophy. “the warriors undersized, too small to lift the trophy”

    Wiseman was a non factor

    The Golden State warriors are something special to watch , Jordan pool is something special to watch, he has been electric this year hands down. we all forget that the Golden State warriors won two games out of two versus the Phoenix Suns and only lost to the suns without Jordan pool & Andrew Wiggins. The Golden State warriors are winning the championship this year. Not only this year I believe multiple years with this lineup.

    Warriors make big men useless, it’s been that way for years.

    GP2nd will make it difficult for CP3. big fan of chris paul but he struggles when defenders key in on him picking him up full court and be physical.

    GSW playing small won in Cleveland in 2015. I dont know why they bring that all the time…

    Green would lock down Ayton foh bro

  21. D Anthony

    April 18, 2022 at 7:29 pm

    Haha…CP3 looked like a young Jordan in game 1 against the #8 seed. It’s another story when he’s playing against the #2 or #3 seed. Let’s see how those legs feel in the fourth quarter after chasing Steph, Clay and Poole for three quarters. Haha…

    What’s a Ayton to a Jokic

    Peoppe talking about Warriors having an unstoppable starting 5 and them beating the Suns. The Suns are built perfect for the Warriors. All their players defend and with Draymond on the floor Deandre Ayton can camp under the rim all night. The Warriors against the Suns will live and die by the 3 and we’re not talking about open catch and shoots. Every man will have to create their own shot at certain points and Suns will be there putting a hand on their faces every shot with Bridges, Book and Crowder out there not to mention how good CP3 is defensively that will force you into uncomfortable situations. And Warriors are in a lot of trouble who ever Curry will be guarding because he will either get exposed one on one defensively by Book or CP3, try to guard a taller shooter which might lead to post-ups or the Warriors will play zone which the Suns will answer by great ball movement or their backcourt pulling 2 players on them and after on find either players ready to shoot that corner shot or Ayton inside which the Warriors don’t have an answer for in terms of someone Ayton’s size and strength guarding him there inside.

    I’m watching the warriors nuggets game right now, 1st quarter just ended, and their death lineup has Draymond = 0 points, Klay = 0 points, Poole = 7 points… Oh and Jokic already has 12 points lol
