Preseason: Trail Blazers @ Suns Monday game thread, 10-16-2023

[Chris_Sanders]

This preseason game is salve for the soul after the Philly beatdown of the Dbacks.

Twin dobermans???



Nah

 

[Chaplin]

They won't be too bad. 4 of their 5 best players didn't play in this game.

Well they did play Scoot and Sharpe. Do you think one of them isn’t one of their top 5?

EDIT: Now that I think about it, sharpe is probably their 7th best player. So you’re right.

 

[Mainstreet]

They are going to Dominayton

With the centers Portland has, Ayton should be looking over his shoulder.

 

[Cheesebeef]

What is it that makes Scoot special? He’s done nothing to stand out in the two games I’ve watched him so far.

 

[Hoop Head]

With the centers Portland has, Ayton should be looking over his shoulder.

If they don't trade Robert Williams III then he'll be starting by the end of the year. There's a chance they run a twin towers lineup but a contender will give up a pick or two for RW3 around the deadline. Just a matter of if the Blazers bite.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Diop makes the 3 drop

 

[BirdGangThing]

Did that ball just bounce off his head??

 

[Chaplin]

Looks like the big 3 is done again.

 

[Mainstreet]

Little is starting to look more comfortable with the Suns.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Eubanks isn't just taking up space - he's making it angry

 

[BirdGangThing]

Diop with a little bit of ball hog acitus there

 

[BirdGangThing]

Jordan Goodwin out there auditioning for Ocean's 15

 

[Mainstreet]

Goodwin now has 5 steals.

 

[Hoop Head]

Eubanks isn't just taking up space - he's making it angry

He's looked a lot better tonight. Think he only played once and I wasn't impressed, at all.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jordan Goodwin's defense is nothing short of amazing.

 

[Chaplin]

I’m pretty happy with every player we’ve played so far tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I so wish the Suns could add a big man like Duop Reath at center.

This is the first season in forever I am happy with the Suns point guard depth.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Jordan Goodwin's defense is nothing short of amazing.

This is what I was hearing about him when we got him. He is an absolute beast on the defensive end (much like Okogie on that end). Not the most offensively skilled guy, but good enough to get by.

 

[Proximo]

If they don't trade Robert Williams III then he'll be starting by the end of the year. There's a chance they run a twin towers lineup but a contender will give up a pick or two for RW3 around the deadline. Just a matter of if the Blazers bite.

Williams is never healthy. I don’t think you can rely on him.

 

[Mainstreet]

This is what I was hearing about him when we got him. He is an absolute beast on the defensive end (much like Okogie on that end). Not the most offensively skilled guy, but good enough to get by.

Goodwin's defense alone can impact a game. He is everywhere.

 

[Mainstreet]

Little looks to have wide shoulders.

 

[BirdGangThing]

I think I like Metu too

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie is feeling it.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That Murray kid can ball
