Suns @ Trail Blazers Saturday game thread 10-23-2021

[Mainstreet]

Nearly time for tip-off.

Go Suns!

 

[Mainstreet]

How can we watch game??

It's on Bally Sports Arizona and NBA TV.

 

[Mainstreet]

And Booker knocks down first shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder has missed 2 threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton starts the game with lots of energy like in LA. Hopefully he will get rewarded.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Booker's hand to Nurkic's head you can explain away but the pulldown that followed was stupid and deserving of a T.

 

[Mainstreet]

Mikal for three.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like what Ayton is doing.

 

[Finito]

I hate these uniforms

 

[Chaplin]

Interesting watching Dame dribble and Nurkic when he gets the ball outside. Dame carries and Nurkic travels. Crazy obvious.

 

[AzStevenCal]

I like what Ayton is doing.

Yeah that was good effort defensively on Nurkic there. And then the refs blew the call at the other end, should have been out on us. They missed the technical on Booker too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Elfrid Payton is in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker to McGee for dunk.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton with sort of a mid-range floater.

 

[Finito]

I hate how Monty just goes with 5 bench guys.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Trail Blazers 30 - Suns 24

 

[Proximo]

Well this does not even look like the same team we played a week ago.

we need to do a better job guarding the 3.

 

[Chaplin]

I hate how Monty just goes with 5 bench guys.

Our 11th and 12th men are Payton and Frank. You really want Monty to play them in the normal rotation?

Or are you referring to having all 5 players on the floor being bench guys?

 

[Mainstreet]

Trail Blazers are not missing.

 

[thirty-two]

Trail Blazers are not missing.

Seriously ugh. And we are not hitting much

 

[Mainstreet]

No JaVale.... YES!

 

[Chaplin]

We can’t defend the 3.

 

[Chaplin]

Defense is awful.

 

[Proximo]

This is not looking good at all.

 

[Beaver]

Geez, we almost went to this game. Glad we didn't!
