Blazers'v been playing great team ball lately, our Ayton and Camara are among the best contributers.

As of Friday, the Suns are in 8th place in the West.

The 6th spot is there for the taking if the Suns can gel and make the right additions.

We've all seen Ayton pull this before. Try hard for a couple games before needing to shop for a new mattress.

This should be a gimme game for the Suns. They need to start taking advantage of these but we've all seen them underestimate bad teams so I don't feel confident.

I don't know. The Trail Blazers have beat the Bucks and Magic in their last two games.

Suns are going to have to bring their A game to Portland.

Portland has won 6 out of the last 7 and Phoenix is on a travel B2B. This won't be a cake walk but I agree, Phoenix should win this.

So more then?

Booker 59 points from tying the Suns franchise scoring record. Now we are getting into the possibility of a one game explosion to get there!

I could easily see it happening in Portland (next two) but OKC is more likely.

I predict that Ayton ambushes the Suns for a "revenge game." Sure, Booker knows how Ayton thinks, etc.; but who cares, since Booker is a guard and won't be guarding Ayton.

Therefore, I expect either a close game or a Blazers victory.

Actually, I predict the Suns will lose for the more obvious reason that they're playing back-to-back. They're not young and energetic.

Camara will have a big game. He’s turning into a beast.

 

[Mainstreet]

No injuries to report for the Suns.

Whew! Glad Thybulle is out. He can be on his death bed, and suddenly come alive against us.

He's probably on the move. He's arguably the biggest trade chip Portland has. It doesn't make sense for a bad team to keep such a good defender for so long. They aren't competing for anything anytime soon.

Still mad no Sophie going forward.

The only way Ishbia can apologize to us fans is getting Lindsey Smith back.
