It wouldn’t be bad if the Suns would add more of the rad lad Thad

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports I hope it’s not a fad, dad, because his minutes didn’t make me mad or sad. In fact, I think I was tad glad. The injury report was released like it always is, one hour prior to Phoenix Suns’ tipoff. The name we were all interested to see was that of Jusuf Nurkic. Nurkic, who tweaked his ankle in an embarrassing loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, has been a vital cog in the sputtering Suns machine this season. His absence would surely be felt as the team is 0-4 in games in which he was absent. With the Denver Nuggets on...

Player grades: Warriors vs. Magic

Photo by Mike Ehrmann/ Assessing every Golden State player’s performance in the team’s 101-93 win over Orlando. The Golden State Warriors had a fabulous time in Florida. A day after blowing out the Miami Heat, the Warriors had one of their best performances of the season, notching a 101-93 win over the Orlando Magic, despite missing their starting front court — one player to injury, and one player to an ejection. It was a win to build on, and it was a win to grade. As always, my grades are based on my expectations for each player, with a “B” grade...

Klay Thompson fuels Warriors win over Heat in return as starter

Photo by Issac Baldizon/NBAE via It just feels right having Klay next to Steph in the starting lineup. When Klay Thompson was moved to the bench earlier this season by his coach Steve Kerr earlier this season, it raised some eyebrows in Dub Nation. Thompson had struggled to find consistent scoring and his defense didn’t look as spry as it did in his younger, pre-injury years. Even still, the putting a Splash Bro on the bench is no small order. Just ask Thompson himself: In fourteen games as a reserve, Thompson has averaged 19.8 points per game on 46% shooting (43%...

He had 6 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 blocked shots when he exited the game after tweaking his ankle on that of Jeremy Sochan’s. Then, with the Phoenix Suns down 99-97 and with 2:51 left in the game, Bradley Beal jammed his right ring finger after contesting a shot. It was the shot of Jeremy Sochan.
