Season Opener: Blazers @ Suns 10-30-13

[BC867]

Plumlee with 16 and 10 in the 1st half, leading the Suns in both points and rebounds. He looks like a pro.

 

[sunsfan88]

Do you guys think Plumlee learned all these post moves this year after coming to PHX or do you think he just never got the opportunity in Indiana cause of Hibbert?

 

[sunsfan88]

He seems to have this language on the court regardless of Dragic.

It was visible during that tech FT shot too when Dragic wasn't pleased that he didn't shoot the FT.

I guess if you look for something you see it. It has not been noticeable to me thus far.

 

[sunsfan88]

Bledsoe does not smile! Its not just against Dragic, Bledsoe doesn't smile in general.

I just googled Bledsoe and he hardly ever smiles even at LA and Kentucky!

 

[Mainstreet]

Plumlee and Tucker are dirt workers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Blazers are shooting 41.2% from 3 point range. The Suns need to do better.

 

[sunsfan88]

I wonder why they have gone away from posting up Plumlee. He seemed to be very efficient in the first half...

true. on the other hand it seems like the blazers aren't getting a ton of points in the paint...which is probably why we're up by a good margin right now

 

[Mainstreet]

Len with first 2 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len playing Nasty with Robinson. I like.

 

[Cheesebeef]

liked the rebound and swingin' elbows by Len. wasn't crazy about him going up a little soft on the goal-tending. liked his aggressiveness on the foul.

wish I realized this game was on earlier. would have liked to see what Plumlee did in there.

 

[Michael]

would have liked to see what Plumlee did in there.

Running the court at an impressive pace for a big man

Showing unexpected (by me, anyway) athleticism, including vertical leaping

Had a nice running hook shot

Quick foot work finished with banked hook shot

One-handed alley-hoop dunk after P&R with Bledsoe

Two-handed dunk in the zone, seemed to go up strong in general

Hit a jumpshot from the baseline

Good help-defense without forgetting to box out

In short: I couldn't believe my eyes.

 

[sunsfan88]

Ah come on let Plumlee post up inside!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. What an acting job by Lillard.

 

[sunsfan88]

Wow Lillard is a little b**tch!!

 

[ProdigalSun]

Lillard needs to stop acting like a little girl

 

[Mainstreet]

Lillard already getting super-star treatment.

Referees, just call the game. Acting school comes later.

 

[Cheesebeef]

yeah, i don't know WHAT that call was on Dragic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final: Suns 104, Blazers 91

 

[ProdigalSun]

Dragic, Plumlee, Bledsoe played pretty great tonight. Its going to be a fun season

 

[Phrazbit]

Championship!

Plumlee certainly has a pulse. Bledsoe is a stud. Len and Goodwin are... raw, very very raw. Hope Len is still gaining his legs back, to say he looked "plodding" is being kind.

 

[SirStefan32]

Awesome game! Plumlee is quite a pleasant surprise. Dragic is starting to show that killer instinct, Bledsoe played well, and Tucker had a really nice game once he stopped forcing things early on.

 

[Sci Fi]

The notion Goran Dragic is not a top 50 player in the NBA is ABSURD!

 

[unseenaz]

If this was the cardinals board they would be clambering how this was a championship team.
