Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards Warriors -9…
Thomas: “ A nine-point spread seems kind of big, doesn’t it? That logic comes from a clouded expectation of a team’s reputation over their on-the-court performance. The Suns have been bad, and are still without Kevin Durant.
The Sun’s offense has been their weakness this season. With how well the Warriors have been defensively, it’s hard to imagine the Suns can remain competitive for four quarters.”
