Suns @ Trail Blazers Tuesday game thread 12-14-2021

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton’s rebounding awful tonight. And we pay for it.

 

[Raindog]

Uggh, Suns going to crap this one away.

 

[Dback Jon]

And we thought the 2nd quarter was bad

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Trail Blazers 75 - Suns 73

 

[Chaplin]

Perimeter defense always kills us.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Garbage possessions

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

All the lead and momentum given up at the end of each of the second and third quarters. Awful.

 

[thirty-two]

ugh!!!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Letting them outrebound us.

 

[Raindog]

Bridges back to cold, Payne playing out of control, Shamet being, well, Shamet, and Ayton drifting off to sleep again. Small wonder the game has started to fade.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns really do need that third point guard. James Jones was right about this.

It would be nice to have one who can shoot from outside.

 

[Chaplin]

We’re one of the best 4th quarter teams in the NBA. Let’s see if that holds here.

 

[Mainstreet]

There we go Payne.

... and again.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton soft

 

[Chaplin]

Bridges again letting Lillard go by.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Big balls Paul

 

[Chaplin]

No perimeter defense.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Building a house with bricks

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns forwards are missing. Need to see more of Crowder.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Jesus

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

As a team we generally miss waaaay too many wide open 3s.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

Ughhh. We’re letting Dame control the flow of this 4th quarter. Someone’s gotta help CP3. Ayton, this is when you earn a max contract…impose your will.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson is off from three and Mikal Bridges doesn't want to shoot.

 

[GatorAZ]

We really gave up assets for Landry Shamet then paid him.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Bridges and cam 5/16
