Not a lot of great D in that quarter.

Blazer build 10 point lead getting hot from 3-point range (8-17).

Suns trail 47-37.

 

[Proximo]

Moore is hurting us.

just getting slaughtered on the boards, time for Monty to make adjustments.

 

[Mainstreet]

Trail Blazers trying to shoot Suns out of game.

 

[Chaplin]

Damn I love Mikal Bridges.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges is so quick and silky smooth tonight and taking it to the basket.

 

[Proximo]

Bridges is so quick and silky smooth tonight and taking it to the basket.

yeah he is looking especially good around the basket tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I liked the play in first quarter where Payne defended Kanter in close and forced a missed shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges!

 

[Hoop Head]

I wish Mikal scored like this regularly. His tentative play on offense is the only reason he doesnt average 16-18 a night. Asking for than that is bit much since he's usually defending the oppositions best player.

 

[Chaplin]

Man what is underrated right now is Nader at PF.

 

[Proximo]

Mikal is playing great.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Trail Blazers 60 - Suns 60

 

[Cheesebeef]

Okay... feel like we played like crap and are right in this at the half.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Halftime:

Trail Blazers 62 - Suns 60

no way that counted

 

[Chaplin]

Edit: that last shot was no good. We’re tied at 60.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Okay... feel like we played like crap and are right in this at the half.

wrong wrong wrong

we played really well

they shot lights out and we got this easy once they cool off

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

No more Frank minutes lmao

 

[Proximo]

Okay... feel like we played like crap and are right in this at the half.

nah we have played well other than boxing out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Referees took 2 points away from Trail Blazers. Game tied 60-60.

 

[Hoop Head]

Didnt realize Nader was already 27. I thought he was younger, hoped he was so maybe he'd grow another inch or two because he'd be a decent PF but he's only 6'5. He plays bigger than that but he's not big enough to play PF against every team.
