Suns @ Trail Blazers Saturday game thread 2-1-2025

[Proximo]

I am so sick of the let’s spend 10 seconds and throw a Sketchy entry pass to KD in the post only for him to immediately be doubled and either turn it over or have the shot clock run down once it is passed out.

It doesn’t work.

bud kept book in the entire first quarter for most of the season - now it's kd staying in the entire first with beal coming in

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Trail Blazers 31 - Suns 27

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant (11) kept the Suns close to finish the quarter shooting 4-9.

sigh..

sophie in the car commercials - sophie in the dentist commercials - sophie in the pregame - sophie in the post game - times when it was sophie during the game

 

[BirdGangThing]

book and beal to start second quarter again - kd gets the breather

 

[BirdGangThing]

richards and dunn return

tyus is a defensive liability out there with the size mismatch between he and grant

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Why does KD care so little about ball security?

It’s really starting to annoy me.

100%

Yeah he is.

Quite frankly other than his corner 3 point shooting I don’t really know what he is doing for us. I think we play better when he is off the court.

The KD post is a 50/50 turnover

And yet the keep doing it

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Down 8 to a wretched team. Please trade everyone

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow beal

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal with a circus shot to get that ball to go down.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns trailing 55-46.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

This team looks tired on a back-to-back. The energy isn't there on both sides but Suns can't even match this output by the Blazers.

It’s so obvious it doesn’t work. It is 20 times as effective when he faces up at the top of the key because there is variety as to what can happen. Throwing it into the post when it so obvious is just making it easy on the defense.

Why is Jones playing the entire 2nd? It seems.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns are 2-6 so far the season and back to back games.


I still don’t understand why the NBA schedule so many of these if they’re worried about putting good content out for the viewers

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I am out. I hate this team

 

[Phrazbit]

Even when we actually hustle we are throwing it to the wrong team.

Ugly.

 

[Proximo]

Well this very much looking like a loss.

 

[95pro]

Buds “feel” for the game sucks. The unit that was playing the start of the 2nd was doing good. And now dumb rotations.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Trail Blazers 61 - Suns 46
