Trail Blazers @ Suns Monday game thread 12-16-19

Frank the Tank with an early bucket and board!

 

[Mainstreet]

Two fouls on Whiteside early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see the Suns are the team intent on taking the ball inside.

Suns lead 11-3.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Hopefully they keep this up, unlike what happened after a good start against Memphis.

I'm doing my best not to think about.

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre wide right on 3 pointer.

 

[Hoop Head]

Cam is in for Bridges, so while not starting for Booker at least he's in early.

I wish the Suns brought back Daniels. They could have used him this year. Oh, well.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Oubre wide right on 3 pointer.

He has to get it going tonight. Can't have another performance like Saturday with Book out.

Oubre certainly needs to score with more efficiency and up his defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Carter and Okobo into the game at guard.

 

[Hoop Head]

Didn't realize this is game 1 of a back to back. Makes more sense that Booker is sitting. Hopefully he plays tomorrow with Ayton. If both play then that should give the Suns no excuse for it being a back to back.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are getting to loose balls so far tonight.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Lillard with 3 fouls in the first quarter. Could be huge.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 33 - Blazers 25

Nice to see Okobo score at the buzzer.

 

[BC867]

Our bench outscored their bench 15-2 in the 1st quarter.

That's good news, considering that part of our bench
have been starters.

But that will change tomorrow.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Nice to see I could be wrong about this game. These players just believe they can play.Go Suns

 

[BC867]

Baynes, Oubre and Saric each with 7 points to lead the Suns.

Good to see scoring from our front court.

 

[Mainstreet]

Go Frank!

 

[BC867]

Suns up by 15 with 7:13 to go in the 2nd quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

I was disappointed how Tolliver player for the Suns years back.

 

[BC867]

C'mon, Kevin. You make a comment and end it with "Annie",
meaning you're turning it over to her to comment. But you
keep rambling.

He really needs to be trained in how to do play-by-play.

If he were a player, he'd be in the G-League.

 

[Hoop Head]

I was disappointed how Tolliver player for the Suns years back.

He was a bad fit. The league has changed also. Back then he wasn't big enough to be a real stretch 4 and was exposed here as a 1 trick pony. Almost every team runs a stretch 4 nowadays and PF's from 4-5 years ago are either Centers or out of the league.

 

[BC867]

Suns are missing from 3. What happened to the inside game which gave us the lead?

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are happy with outside shots while they need to keep taking it inside except for Cam.

 

[BC867]

OK, the Suns are back to mixing it up, inside and outside.
