What: Golden State Warriors (36-33) vs. Phoenix Suns (48-20)When: 7:00 p. m. MSTWhere: Chase CenterWatch: Bally Sports Arizona Listen: 98. 7 FMWe are down to the last week in the regular season and it has sped by us faster than a DeLorean going 88 MPH. Great Scott. The Suns are going back. . . to the playoffs. The angst and anxiety that those minutes will bring must be put on hold right now as numerous playoff scenarios still exist and need to play out. Will this week end with Marty McFly coming home to his normal suburban Hill Valley residence Or will it be the worst case scenario version, with Biff Tannen running the world and a Suns matchup versus the Lakers looming Game 69 of the season places the Phoenix Suns in San Francisco where the Golden State Warriors await Ty-Shon Alexander Pillow Cover. Turn on, tune in, and zone out baby. https://www.phoenixfanstoreonline.com/Deandre_Ayton_Hoodie-30 The Warriors have plenty to play for, albeit without numerous key players, as they are attempting to remain in the 7 vs. 8 play in game next week. They currently reside 0. 5 games ahead of the Memphis Grizzlies for the right to do so. They are led by Steph Curry, who has been on an absolute tear as of late. You can credit his late game heroics for the victory over the Jazz last night as he sunk another clutch three-pointer to put the Warriors ahead late. Curry is must see TV. He currently leads the lead in scoring with 31 Kevin Johnson Hoodie. 9 points as he is averaging a career-high 21. 4 shot attempts per game. He shoots 42. 6% from beyond the arc. He has 27 30+ point games this season, 7 40+ points games, and 3 50+ point games. Curry is a flamer thrower just ready to go off and it is a joy to watch. The pieces around him have been sub-par for the majority of the season. The fact that they are competing for the 8 seed is a testament to the greatness of Steph Curry. Draymond Green is scoring 6 https://www.phoenixfanstoreonline.com/Steve_Nash_T_shirt-9. 9 points and 7. 0 rebounds in 31. 3 minutes this season. Andrew Wiggins is good for 18. 3 points and 4. 8 boards but is one their weaker defenders. The Warriors have lost twice to the Suns this season, the first being a 21-point loss and the second being a 22-pointer. Of course, Steph wasn on his heater back then. His averaging 36. 0 points in his 26 games since their last loss to Phoenix.

The Suns are 1. 5 games behind the Jazz following their loss to Golden State last night. The door is still open and winning is the only thing that will put them in the situation to gain that top seed. It very Orlando Bubble-esque, is it not Just keep winning and hope you have a shot at what you desire. And I desire to miss the Lakers in the first round (and perhaps all together). There was plenty left to be desired following the loss at the hands of the Lakers on Sunday night. We were reminded that Anthony Davis is a top 3 player in the league, that the Suns interior is inferior to that of Los Angeles, and that they are one team that will give us fits in the postseason. But that was Sunday. Tonight is a new opportunity to get right. The end of the season is in sight and Phoenix is limping compared to their prolonged stretch of winning basketball to the finish line. They are 2-2 in their last 4, and 6-4 in their last 10. The competition has been tougher. The fatigue is setting in. This is where you grind it out and find who you are. Thankfully they have Chris Paul leading them.
