Payton is back and will play if Kerr feels like playing him.

Chris Paul is still out.
Damion Lee is out.
Beal probably plays but is not definite.

Rough matchup. Nurkic is perfect with their stars.

Isn’t nurkic the white stiff kind of center that our board hates.
If the big white stiff can’t shoot 3s like Saric our board hates him.

I want to see KD cry. I guess I am mean.

I don’t want to see Draymond punch KD because Draymond would be thrown out of the league.

If we beat the Suns we may have to start thinking of the Warriors as a playoff team.

Big white stiff, like Andrew Bogut?

Nurkic is awesome, when healthy.

Suns are road favorites. Line is Suns winning by 1.5 or 2 points.

In my mind Nurkic is more of a stiff than Bogut was. Bogut had Body control, timing and technic and smarts and court vision. Bogut was slow and stiff but his mind was fast and agile.

I am a Ostertag fan. I would be happy to have Paul Mokeski on our team.

I know Nurkic is less of a stiff than your prototypical big white stiff but I think Nurkic still falls into the bif white stiff category.
I would call Felton Spencer a big white stiff except he was not white. I would add Warriors version of Felton Spencer to the current Warriors team to be our 4th string center if I could. Then we would have smart hard working (prior to this season) Looney, shooting Saric, shot blocking fast Trayce and big Felton. Sometimes I want big and strong even if the big guy is so stiff that he can not jump and can not block shots.

New found energy Warriors vs the glamour puss shooting Suns and their big white stiff,

Guys name ends in ic therefore he is probably Serbo-croation. One of Jokic and Doncic is Sovenian but that is still former Yugoslavia.
If Yugoslavia was still a country they would have the 2nd best basketball team after USA.

I was wrong about Nurkic. Last year he looked so washed; I didn’t want to even think about him.

I guess getting away from Portland was good for his brain.

Klay is back and starting. I dont even know who he guards because every match up is a bad one for him.

At least he'll be the one player with fresh legs on the team.

If Booker torches him Klay can do that cool four fingers thing. It was so cool last year.

Yes he has been good this season, and Jozef was correct about him pre-season.

Bogut was never a fluid athlete of course, but shattering the elbow on his shooting arm when Amare Stoudemire undercut him forever limited him as a scorer before he ever got to GSW.

I'm thinking he'll be on Beal. Wiggins is likely on Booker and jk on Durant.

Klay is active. 3 great plays on defense so far and 2 brain dead ones. But I'll take it.

Wiggins looking phenomenal right now on both ends.
