Suns @ Trail Blazers Monday game thread 12-30-19

Good Lord, if the medical staff clears him to play, he should play.

 

[Sunburn]

Dislike!

Shootaround is a lot different than game conditions.

Especially with him having played two games all season.

I want him back when he is 100%. Because even that
will not be 100%, considering players who have been
on the court during the first quarter of the season.

BS. I've had bad ankle sprains, and I've had not so bad ankle sprains. If you have a bad ankle sprain, you are not acting and standing the way Ayton is in this post game interview. I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point. Dude has zero heart.

lol.. right? man, it's like people are already lining up to excuse Ayton if he doesn't play well.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is back!

Deandre Ayton will return tonight from a right ankle sprain that sidelined him 5 games after suffering injury in his return game from 25-game suspension . This will be just his 3rd game as the #Suns will play their 23rd game tonight. Facing #RipCity

No one on the Suns injury report. Yes!

Thought the day would never come. Don't know if this is a good thing or a sign of the apocalypse.

Thought the day would never come. Don't know if this is a good thing or a sign of the apocalypse.

A bit of both probably

It's a good thing. When Ayton gets acclimated we may finally see what the Suns look like.

Wow... [emoji15][emoji2957][emoji15][emoji2957]

Starters. Monty is not telling the media that.

Baynes will start tonight and Ayton will come off the bench. Monty said earlier the Suns were going to watch his minutes.

[Superbone]

He's back.

He’s also front and center.

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost tipoff.

 

[Mainstreet]

Blazers win the tip but Booker gets the first basket on a short jumper.

 

[Mainstreet]

Blazers getting open looks from 3 point range (4-4). Suns trail 14-7.

 

[TJ]

Elite perimeter defense

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton enters the game.

 

[Phrazbit]

Baynes has been putrid defensively. I'm not sure if he has been bad all year or only since his injury... and I didn't notice that he was playing bad defense because his energy and offense were so solid.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Monty yanked Rubio very early... I seriously think Rubio is just not in shape.

 

[Mainstreet]

Portland does not miss from 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have 1 three pointer. Portland has 7. That's an 18 point difference right there. Suns trail 32-17.

 

[Evil Ash]

2 mins left in 1st qtr, oubre and booker 17 pts. Everyone else 0

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Blazers 38 - Suns 19
