Suns

Grading Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 134-105 loss to the Phoenix Suns in an NBA game on Tuesday, ...

I don’t think he’s earned the right to play 25 minutes regularly, but after this game I’m guessing the Dubs feel comfortable putting him in that roll when the roster necessitates it. He showed out with some stylistic moves in the first half. Jerome was active for the first time this season, thanks to Donte DiVincenzo’s injury. He managed to only foul one time (that’s good), but generally played some painful to watch defense (that’s bad). He got plenty of play in the second half, between Steve Kerr pressing buttons trying to find something that would work, and Kerr waiving the white flag. The Warriors gave him a bit of run with the starters, which was good to see, as that should help his development. The Warriors will live with that, as they intend on being great when all is said and done. He also was one of the few players on the team that showed any interest in playing defense. Instead, it did the opposite, as it energized the Suns, who went on an 11-0 run. Wiggins’ defense was very weak in this game, and his offense was less efficient than in the first three contests. His defense on Deandre Ayton was good, and he once again showed an awesome ability to playmake, by moving to the right spots, and passing well when there. The one potential for Klay to get a grade boost was if his ejection rallied the troops.
