Preseason: Suns @ Trail Blazers Thursday game thread, 10-12-2023

[Chaplin]

They probably haven't played much together either. Vogel is mixing and matching a lot of players.

That’s a valid point. He’s doing exactly what he should be doing, trying stuff out.

 

[95pro]

Yuta has shown in preseason that he can take it to the basket. That’s nice to see.

Yes. His 3pt ability allows him to do that. Take away his shot and he will attack.

 

[Cheesebeef]

All I can think watching the Blazers is thank God Ayton is theirs, not ours now.

 

[Folster]

Goodwin is going to have a role on this team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Goodwin knocks down the three. He is a keeper.

 

[Chaplin]

All I can think watching the Blazers is thank God Ayton is theirs, not ours now.

Ha! No Freakin Doubt

 

[Chaplin]

Really like Goodwin so far.

 

[Chaplin]

I like that there are different stories in every game.

Game 1 was the big 3, game 2 was Grayson, game 3 has been EG and Goodwin.

 

[95pro]

Goodwin has a better handle than JO. Going to be interesting between the two.

 

[Folster]

All I can think watching the Blazers is thank God Ayton is theirs, not ours now.

You'd think he would want to show out against us but he was satisfied with his one dunk and block.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 91 - Trail Blazers 88

 

[Hoop Head]

He did his DominAyton for the day.

 

[Chaplin]

Terrible play by soon-to-be-cut Keon Johnson.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk in game 1 was kind of a non factor

Game 2 went toe to toe with Jokic and held his own

Game 3 outshined Ayton in every facet of the game

That shows him getting used to the team. IMO

 

[Proximo]

KBD has really done nothing

 

[Chaplin]

KBD has really done nothing

3 straight games. Biggest disappointment to me. Although Little is coming close.

 

[Yuma]

I have to say I am disappointed so far with Bates-Diop compared to all the hype I am reading and comments on the b board about him being our possible fifth starter.

 

[Mainstreet]

Azubuike has come alive.

 

[Chaplin]

Azibuke showing a little bit more now.

 

[Yuma]

Goodwin best guy on the floor for us now.

 

[Chaplin]

Ok Keon, I see you.

 

[Mainstreet]

Keon Johnson with the finish.

 

[Hoop Head]

There we go KBD

 

[Folster]

Terrible play by soon-to-be-cut Keon Johnson.

I'm willing to give any Suns player with the last name Johnson more than a passing glance. The surname has been good to us.
