Warriors glad they dodgers a bullet by trading Poole. It definitely shows how well Dubs are playing this season.

Warriors getting off Poole's contract is worth it alone

True. If you can get rid of horrible contracts you have to do it.

We didn't win that game so much as we snatched a victory from the clutches of defeat. That was a terrible game for us and has seemingly been the norm all season. We cannot continue to play like this.

HUUUUGGEEEE comeback win tonight. Always good to take care of the Wizards.

We all can agree that this was a very embarrassing win

Not even Gordon 5/9 shooting & Eubanks 5/7 shooting? Gordon +/- = 12; Eubanks +/- = 10. Also, Goodwin 3/7 shooting with 6 points, 8 Reb, 6 assists +/-= 17.

Yup we shouldn't be struggling to beat a 4 win Wizards team when you have a healthy KD and Booker. The sense of urgency was missing most of the game and we were fortunate the Wizards got cold in the 4th.

It was more them playing poorly than the Suns playing well.

We need PJ Tucker to get bought out so he can come whip the Suns into shape. He's not the player he once was, but he still won't put up with the soft lack of effort BS and he can still grab rebounds.

Then we need to pick up an actual starting caliber PG. I love Book, but making him the main PG feels like it's hurting the rest of his game. He's scoring the most he has in his career, but i think he could be leading the league in PPG if he didn't feel obligated to try and get the rest of the team going by forcing assists.

Did you guys see the 3pt shot by Poole nearing the end of the game? Does he still think he's a splash cousin?

Let him believe he’s part of splash bros as long as suns win by his low IQ play.

I've always hated this point Book BS for years

I don't mind it in bursts, but I don't think it's gonna work longterm.

I forgot about the power of tanking

Comes down to how we use it. For full games, I just don't think our offense is as good as it can be by taking away his personal scoring ability (easily top 10 in the league) and refocus it on getting the team involved. That's not what he's built to do. I just think we need a PG to relieve him of at least half of those duties and allow him to be full shooting guard Book because that's his bread and better.

I also personally never liked seeing Book creating from stand still. Similar to KD. They're at their absolute best when catching the ball on the move and making quick decisions on the fly. Orchestrating an offense from the top of the key just isn't natural to them.

I have seen Wizards fans on GB say the same for an ex-player of their own.

I know we won’t fire Vogel like BW said in his first season, but a deadline trade is needed to possibly bring a decent pg that’s a must. Maybe another defender who can knock down some threes would work too.

Wait

Ish traded the guts of our roster and our future for KD.

Don't underestimate what he might do..

The Dubs are not dumb. They Got CP3 on basically a one year contract to dump a long term contract they had with Poole.

We should have kept CP3 and not taken ont BBB's 200 Mil contract.
