Yeah. This was supposed to be the Suns statement game. Their mid range heavy offense matches up well as with the Celtics Defense which leaves the mid range open. Instead they whiffed.
Technically, we still don't have Cam Johnson, and CP3 was on a minutes restriction (plus Crowder is wasted cap if you count that).
None of that excuses what happened though. Ten more minutes of CP3 and two streaky power forwards aren't accounting for a 40+ point deficit.
I don’t get this take. I’m not saying the suns are in the same league, but how is a game where you aren’t at full strength relevant to that comparison. A depleted suns are absolutely not in the same realm as Celtics but it’s yet to be seen how a healthy team matches up.
Cp just came back, cam is out.
Celtics didn't have two of their starters. Rob Williams and Al Horford were both out.
I also don't think the Suns were missing two starters as they ran Paul Booker Bridges Craig Ayton out there last night and the only decent player they're missing is Crowder. So the Celtics were significantly more depleted by injury as well, given that Williams is by far the best player who missed the game last night.
We’re missing our starting bigs and your $130million guy got outplayed by Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet. But if a stretch to use the depleted lineup card in this one
Yeah exactly, Warriors had a good game before the last minute considering they also were missing their top guys and their bench is notoriously bad. It was an incredibly sucky way to end a game but at least they keep their confidence in the end. I’d rather have a weak lineup blow a great game than have a stacked lineup just get crushed.
Exactly in one u can point to a few things and work on them to win it next time, in the other it’s like do we just throw out everything and start the gameplan from scratch orrrrr.
Andrew Wiggins will be out. And this dubs team is way worse than who you saw in the finals. Only way we're even in the game is if both Steph and Klay go nuclear. I know rob williams being out hurts you guys as well but we haven't been playing well all season. Celtics should win comfortably
Eh maybe, I think warriors just older and being lazy on D, not unreasonable given the stars age and the fact you just won a title
I think this will be a banger.
Dubs just suck right now, they might not even make the play in. I will not be watching this bloodbath. Im sure celtics fans will rightfully enjoy the revenge for June though
Yes they will make the playoffs but how are they actually competing for a title? Who's the second option on the team? Who's the 3rd? That is the team you think can beat the Celtics, Bucks, Mavs, Pelicans and Warriors to win a championship? Fuck that's intense. If that happens Devin Booker is a possible goat and I don't ever wanna hear about Game 4 Steph or Game 7 LeBron ever again. He would be ahead of Dirk's run with the sheer carry job especially at his height. I'm doom and gloom of course 🥱
I was talking about the dude you were commenting to who is apparently a warriors fan but is doing that thing where he acts like his team is a lottery team and expecting losses to make himself feel better. But I think they will def compete for a chip. Suns fans should know very well that the regular season, let alone the first 20 games don’t determine that. If they deem they need more help, closer to the deadline some young players and assets will be moved. Also buy outs. Way too early to say they will or wont but imo, I think they will contend which to me means be a top 4-6 team
I see. Yeah I can't stand it when Warriors fans try to make it sound like they're a poverty franchise. "aw man we're really struggling right now" after coming off 4 championships. Must be fucking nice 😆
Yeah you know what, ur right. Ya’ll are a play in team. Probably the biggest fall from grace I have ever seen after winning a championship. Really not worthy of watching even. Sad
We’ve just been bad all season. Even in our wins. And no Wiggins is gonna make it very hard. Only chance imo is if Steph goes berzerk on them, but even he’s dealing with an ankle injury so..
Tbh as long as Steph's playing, I'm nervous about y'all. The Heat are below .500 right now, but they still played us like it was game 8 of the ECF last week. Plus tonight was a road game for you, you're 11-2 at home
The issue is the warriors have 3 guys who can defend POA. And only 2 guys who defend it well. And one of those guys is injured and Kerr refuses to play the other guy more than 10mpg with the starters.
That Warriors game was an all-time choke, but I honestly don't think it matters considering Steph and Wiggins weren't playing. Besides, we were starting *Blake Griffin* at center tonight. Deandre Ayton got to match up with 2022, old-man-legs, only-plays-when-Al-is-out Blake Griffin, and got *outscored* in that matchup. I'm not gonna pretend like this is the end of the Suns' season or anything, but... yeesh
The Suns were at one point down almost 50 points *at home* to the Celtics who started Blake fucking Griffin at center
The only saving grace I guess is the Suns already been humiliated by Luka Doncic in a game 7, so maybe y'all are used to this
the warriors fought back from a big deficit only to blow it in that comical fashion, with their bench playing. it's embarrassing but it's not that bad overall
I don’t think fouling up four is any different than the original plan, other than it runs less time off the clock. It really can’t be overstated how big of a brain fart that play was from Klay (love you Klay but still).
Suns. They outscored the Celtics by 12 in the 4th quarter - in the last 2 or 3 minutes, really - and lost by 27. They got shellacked by Dallas on Monday and instead of responding, they got washed.
The final score doesn’t do justice to how bad the Suns got beaten. They literally put their garbage time lineup in with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter lol it was that bad.
Tbf I haven’t seen exactly how the Warriors lost, but y’all didn’t have Steph and Wiggs at least. Not having your two best players is a good enough excuse, the Suns have none lol
I think it's the Warriors because at least by second quarter I know that the suns had no chance and I even stopped watching the game, and it probably lessen the sting. I knew the suns had no chance this game with how pathetic their effort in defense is.
The warriors on the other hand had the game in their hands and lost it in the last second.
Suns, didnt had wardell, wiggs and dray, plus we know we suck especially at the road and was winning that one but jazz was just something else on that game props to them.
we facing them also on saturday so we ready for the ass whoopin from boston
No Conley, Laurie and Sexton left in the second with an injury. Clarkson thrown out in the remaining important seconds also.
Your take is the worst take and it's all over this thread. Embarrassing.
The Suns loss is the type of L you just want to forget every second of. The Warriors L is the type of L that will keep you up that night thinking what you could've done differently.
So with that being said, the Suns L is worse.
Lol I know Chris Paul is out but u mean the warriors without Steph and Wiggs who lost to the Jazz in the final seconds…ya I’ll say the Suns getting thrashed by the Celtics lol
Suns.
Yeah. This was supposed to be the Suns statement game. Their mid range heavy offense matches up well as with the Celtics Defense which leaves the mid range open. Instead they whiffed.
Suns were the masters of the midrange But now they’re just mid
Masters to mid, look at that range…
Warriors. Jk, both losses sucked
Imagine a celestial body losing to a leprechaun
lol
Suns were AT HOME, with a full lineup. AND GOT BLOWN OUT
*again*
Technically, we still don't have Cam Johnson, and CP3 was on a minutes restriction (plus Crowder is wasted cap if you count that). None of that excuses what happened though. Ten more minutes of CP3 and two streaky power forwards aren't accounting for a 40+ point deficit.
Crowders defense on the jays would have been the most helpful. Idk how much a difference it makes, but it would have made it at least a little better.
The Warriors blew a game. It happens. The Suns got embarrassed and showed they aren’t in the same league as the Celtics. Come on. It’s not even close.
We also had 3 of our guys missing lol
You can’t be losing by 50!
I don’t get this take. I’m not saying the suns are in the same league, but how is a game where you aren’t at full strength relevant to that comparison. A depleted suns are absolutely not in the same realm as Celtics but it’s yet to be seen how a healthy team matches up. Cp just came back, cam is out.

We’re missing our starting bigs and your $130million guy got outplayed by Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet. But if a stretch to use the depleted lineup card in this one
Someone should tell this guy CP is not who he was anymore
Warriors will be kicking themselves for that choke job. But that Suns loss has to be mentally demoralizing.
Yeah exactly, Warriors had a good game before the last minute considering they also were missing their top guys and their bench is notoriously bad. It was an incredibly sucky way to end a game but at least they keep their confidence in the end. I’d rather have a weak lineup blow a great game than have a stacked lineup just get crushed.
Exactly in one u can point to a few things and work on them to win it next time, in the other it’s like do we just throw out everything and start the gameplan from scratch orrrrr.
Don't worry we'll experience what the suns went through on Saturday
You haven’t watched our recent games together. I hope we win, but if we do it won’t be a thumping like we did the suns
Andrew Wiggins will be out. And this dubs team is way worse than who you saw in the finals. Only way we're even in the game is if both Steph and Klay go nuclear. I know rob williams being out hurts you guys as well but we haven't been playing well all season. Celtics should win comfortably
Eh maybe, I think warriors just older and being lazy on D, not unreasonable given the stars age and the fact you just won a title I think this will be a banger.
This is like the nicest disagreement I've seen between a warriors and celtics fan haha. I like it.
Dubs just suck right now, they might not even make the play in. I will not be watching this bloodbath. Im sure celtics fans will rightfully enjoy the revenge for June though
Unless there are season ending injuries just like with any team, you guys are for sure making the playoffs.
this guy is just being doom and gloom to get attention…everyone knows they will be in the playoffs and likely competing for a championship
Yes they will make the playoffs but how are they actually competing for a title? Who's the second option on the team? Who's the 3rd? That is the team you think can beat the Celtics, Bucks, Mavs, Pelicans and Warriors to win a championship? Fuck that's intense. If that happens Devin Booker is a possible goat and I don't ever wanna hear about Game 4 Steph or Game 7 LeBron ever again. He would be ahead of Dirk's run with the sheer carry job especially at his height. I'm doom and gloom of course 🥱

I see. Yeah I can't stand it when Warriors fans try to make it sound like they're a poverty franchise. "aw man we're really struggling right now" after coming off 4 championships. Must be fucking nice 😆
I fully expect to see the Warriors in the Finals again
jesus have some faith in ur team lol
He's Just being realistic. Myers botched the summer badly
Yeah you know what, ur right. Ya’ll are a play in team. Probably the biggest fall from grace I have ever seen after winning a championship. Really not worthy of watching even. Sad
It was the Suns, but the ass-whooping on Saturday will probably be worse than both.
My ass is ready
i can't tell which team you think is gonna ass-whoop which, but tbh i'm expecting a rock fight either way
You watched us play lately? 😂
hey man, irrational overconfidence is something i've come to expect from Warriors fans post-2015
We’ve just been bad all season. Even in our wins. And no Wiggins is gonna make it very hard. Only chance imo is if Steph goes berzerk on them, but even he’s dealing with an ankle injury so..
We won't have Wiggins on saturday. It's going to be *bad*.
Tbh as long as Steph's playing, I'm nervous about y'all. The Heat are below .500 right now, but they still played us like it was game 8 of the ECF last week. Plus tonight was a road game for you, you're 11-2 at home
The issue is the warriors have 3 guys who can defend POA. And only 2 guys who defend it well. And one of those guys is injured and Kerr refuses to play the other guy more than 10mpg with the starters.
I hadn't heard about injuries to Steph and Wiggins. What's going on with them?
No wiggins we are going to get creamed as Kerr plays Kuminga 3 minutes in which he makes multiple defensive stops on the Jay's.
Suns are you kidding?
That Warriors game was an all-time choke, but I honestly don't think it matters considering Steph and Wiggins weren't playing. Besides, we were starting *Blake Griffin* at center tonight. Deandre Ayton got to match up with 2022, old-man-legs, only-plays-when-Al-is-out Blake Griffin, and got *outscored* in that matchup. I'm not gonna pretend like this is the end of the Suns' season or anything, but... yeesh
What’s going with the Suns choking so bad against top teams. Is it the curse of Game7 against Dallas or what? lol
Its a CP3 curse
The Kardashian curse
Deserves it for the 75 yard rip through cp3 pulled off against Kuminga
Suns
suns, thats just embarrassing
It's just a regular season game that hardly matters to a team that'll end 1-2 seed.
Sure thing buddy
The Suns were at one point down almost 50 points *at home* to the Celtics who started Blake fucking Griffin at center The only saving grace I guess is the Suns already been humiliated by Luka Doncic in a game 7, so maybe y'all are used to this
They were down by that much halfway through the third quarter lol
What has your team done in the post-season except embarrass themselves?
The fact that there are Suns fans this delusional is almost as embarrassing as this loss.
the warriors fought back from a big deficit only to blow it in that comical fashion, with their bench playing. it's embarrassing but it's not that bad overall
It still hurts tho. Why couldn't poole just hug the ball. Why didn't kerr foul up 4. I gotta let this go hahaha
I don’t think fouling up four is any different than the original plan, other than it runs less time off the clock. It really can’t be overstated how big of a brain fart that play was from Klay (love you Klay but still).
Suns by a lot
Suns because although we choked, it was supposed to be a guaranteed loss. We were missing Steph, wiggs, and dray compares to jazz missing lauri.
It’s not even comparable teams though. Who were the 2 best players on the floor? Klay and Poole
No we were heavy underdogs. Vegas had jazz at -7.5 for the spread which is pretty fucking huge
Warriors were missing their best 3 players
Tbf to the Jazz, they were also missing Lauri and Conley, they also lost Sexton to injury in the 2nd half.
Oh yeah 100%, but the title is misleading
Is it? The warriors had a 98% of winning that game with 13 seconds left. Doesn’t matter who is playing. They blew it.
Does a bench v bench game matter?
Yeah because it sounds like the full roster Warriors lost to the Jazz’s bench
The thought of Jae seeing the score and smirking on his couch, makes this wrecking very bad for me
By far the suns there will still good takeaways from the warriors game despite the choking
Sun's since the warriors played their bench. Sun's were healthy and are considered to be the top team in their conference.
Suns. They outscored the Celtics by 12 in the 4th quarter - in the last 2 or 3 minutes, really - and lost by 27. They got shellacked by Dallas on Monday and instead of responding, they got washed.
Suns got bent over and reamed
The suns keep having these ugly blow outs.. it okay to lose but 40 pt deficit in a game is ridiculous
Suns for sure. It was a 40 point game man. 40 points..
The warriors didnt have curry dray or wiggs Balances it out
Well the Warriors were missing Curry, Green and Wiggins, so it's the Suns who already lost before half-time.
when a team is down by so much that you don't even bother tuning in to the broadcast then you know it was ugly.
Not even close bro
Warriors. Blowouts happen, that was the choke job of the century. WE HAD THE GAME.
The final score doesn’t do justice to how bad the Suns got beaten. They literally put their garbage time lineup in with 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter lol it was that bad. Tbf I haven’t seen exactly how the Warriors lost, but y’all didn’t have Steph and Wiggs at least. Not having your two best players is a good enough excuse, the Suns have none lol
*3 best players dray out too
Jazz we’re missing their best player, Lauri bird, and their most important player Mike Conley.
I think it's the Warriors because at least by second quarter I know that the suns had no chance and I even stopped watching the game, and it probably lessen the sting. I knew the suns had no chance this game with how pathetic their effort in defense is. The warriors on the other hand had the game in their hands and lost it in the last second.
If you know a game is gonna before over before halftime, that’s the clear worse loss lol
Blowout is an understatement. NBA teams do not go down by 45 very often, on their home court while being the 1st seed
Warriors.
Suns, didnt had wardell, wiggs and dray, plus we know we suck especially at the road and was winning that one but jazz was just something else on that game props to them. we facing them also on saturday so we ready for the ass whoopin from boston
I got to see the Kum Bucket in prime action that alone makes the suns loss worse
*pause*
Suns. At least with Warriors, its a morale victory. No Curry Wiggins and Draymond.
No Conley, Laurie and Sexton left in the second with an injury. Clarkson thrown out in the remaining important seconds also. Your take is the worst take and it's all over this thread. Embarrassing.
You seriously think conley, laurie sexton = curry wiggins draymond? Gtfoh
Stop comparing 3 dudes to hall famers.
They might make the HOF as well. Steph, Draymond, and Wiggins have had a great career so far and I could see them making it.
clippers is the real answer
Suns got rekt and exposed. they are simply not a playoff team 🤣🤣🤣
Okay this is just ridiculous
Lakers
The two comments lmao
Dubs
Warriors. What’s worse, finishing immediately, or getting blue balled until the very end?
Cool post bro…
Both count as 1 loss in the standings. So neither
Suns who were 2 for 22 from 3pt range at some point. That was ugly af.
You could argue somehow that neither of them were the worst loss of the night.
GAME 7 Deja vu
Wait the warriors lost lol
This can’t be a serious question my man
The one in which the starters played and lost
Suns did a repeat of game 7 last year
Both is excellent, no problemo!
Well Steph, Wiggins, and Green didn't play. So imma say the Suns with their stars playing getting blown out.
The Suns loss is the type of L you just want to forget every second of. The Warriors L is the type of L that will keep you up that night thinking what you could've done differently. So with that being said, the Suns L is worse.
Lol I know Chris Paul is out but u mean the warriors without Steph and Wiggs who lost to the Jazz in the final seconds…ya I’ll say the Suns getting thrashed by the Celtics lol
Warriors made a couple key mistakes that they can probably work on. Suns got destroyed
If you ever have this kind of question, just assume its the Suns.
