Booker seems ready for opening night with 14 points shooting 5-9 from field.
Yeah, he is doing it easily too. Getting a lot of open shots.

Blazers look they haven't played ball in about 3 years as rusty as they seem.

If they continue to play like they are Dame will be demanding a trade any day.

25% shooting for the half and bad defense.

You can tell they have been horrible the way the Portland broadcasters are making such a big deal out of how well Dennis Smith has been playing for them.

That Simmons for Lillard rumor may end up coming true.

I didn't see it but Booker had 17 points in 16 minutes.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Suns sit Booker to start the 2nd half and he does with Shamet starting.

Payne is the only starter to begin 2nd half.

I think Cam Johnson has found his shot again this season. He has looked great in these 4 games.

Nader, Johnson, McGee, Payton and Shamet starting 2nd half gives a strong hint at who are rotation players off the bench.

Jalen Smith really loves to take 3's. Too bad he can't make any of them.

It's probably the only way he is going to get some minutes as a reserve 4. Right now I think he is more a 5.

If I didn't know better I would think the Blazers were trying to set the record for most turnovers in a game.

I'm hoping the Suns are patient with Stix.

Efrid Payton had 3-4 steals in that last quarter. Dude is bringing his defense.

Radio announcers are saying Jalen Smith has had an impressive preseason.
