00:00The tougher game to call will be Warriors-Suns for sure,
00:02because Phoenix has been pretty consistent all season long.
00:05They took a tough loss the other day.
00:07They're going to be slight favorites against Golden State.
00:10I mean, do they have a win in them here?
00:12I mean, I'm not asking them to win a lot of playoff games,
00:14but this would be a disappointing season overall
00:16if they couldn't just win one of these two tournament games, Rohit.
00:20Yeah, I think so, but I think it would be a little bit disappointing
00:22for both of these teams to, you know, miss the playoffs
00:25when they have guys like Booker and Curry on the team,
00:28veteran teams there at the same time.
00:30But yeah, I do think the Suns managed to pull this one off.
00:33Big thing, of course, is that the Suns do defend the arc extremely well.
00:37You know, it's kind of a good defensive team against a team
00:39that has just been kind of awful defensively.
00:41Since the All-Star break, Warriors are 22nd in the league in defensive rating.
00:45When you take into account all the brutal teams this season
00:48that have been tanking since midseason,
00:50that means the Warriors pretty much have the worst defense
00:52out of any competitive team in the league.
00:55So that's not great in this matchup.
00:57And, you know, the Suns do a pretty good defense of their own.
01:01And they've got Booker and a few guys that can score.
01:03So I do think the Suns managed to take this one.
01:05But it would be disappointing, I think,
01:07for either of these teams to miss out on the postseason.
01:09And that when I woke up and I was disappointed in town,
