Preseason: Suns at Blazers

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play the Blazers at Portland tonight. I understand the game is scheduled for 7PM Arizona time.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tonight's game should especially be interesting because of how the Suns will guard Damian Lillard. Here is a link to a preview.

It'll be interesting to see if we can maintain the pace we played at last game against an NBA team

I'm also getting a feed at the following:

Marcus Morris has two 3 point shots for 6 points.

How does Lillard get to the FT line when he hooks to get a shot attempt?

Stars aren't born, there made by the NBA

 

[ProdigalSun]

yeah I hate the inherent preferential treatment that stars get in the NBA. On another note Mile Plumlee continues to impress

 

[Mainstreet]

Len got under Leonard's skin for a technical.

The Suns are so fast and athletic. If fans are not watching they are missing a treat.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Blazers announcers can't quit raving about Dragic who is hot.

 

[ProdigalSun]

"Dragic HOF'er?...yeah if he played the Blazers everynight" ...that cracked me up. Seriously though, I like that we seem to have a good idea already about what we're supposed to do offensively so far which is impressive this early in the preseason

Dragic seems to play well against the Blazers with 14 points in 7 minutes.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Nice to see Frye playing again and playing well

 

[Mainstreet]

Channing Frye looks surprisingly good and has 7 points in 5 minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice to see Frye playing again and playing well

Absolutely.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Shannon Brown should not be on this team anymore...much less starting...

Maybe give him some play for a trade later on.

This game is really chippy.

This game is really chippy.

Yeah I like that we're playing physical and getting under their skin. Even Len was getting into it earlier in the game

 

[Mainstreet]

Too bad Green can't shoot.

 

[Sci Fi]

The notion that Goran Dragic is not one of the 50 best basketball players in the NBA is absurd.

 

[Mainstreet]

Green heard me.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Blazers announcers say Hornacek is "ashamed" when he calls a timeout after lead shrinks to 6 points. What?? Ashamed is over the top.

Just a bunch of hyperbole.

 

[Mainstreet]

Just a bunch of hyperbole.

But way over the top, IMO.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Suns win 104-98

Takeaways

- Pleasantly surprised by Frye this game
- Plumlee has skills
- Dragic seems poised to have a good year
- Portland's mascot is annoying
