Trail Blazers @ Suns Monday game thread 2-22-2021

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker opens scoring with a jumper.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton just has very little ability to explode off a catch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns not taking advantage of Blazers turnovers.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Good block by DA

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with high arcing three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Derrick Jones Jr. has blocked a couple of shots already.

 

[Cheesebeef]

This game feels like it has some intensity juice.

book bug so far.

It’s stupid that Melo was totally out of the league for a full year. He’s obviously not what he was, but he’s still a solid contributor out there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker already with 17 points and the 1st quarter is not over.

Suns lead 24-21.

Portland is certainly glad to have him.

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 32 - Trail Blazers 26

Crowder’s game on the go is ugly, but man, between he and Dario, they have two very smart/crafty vets to run this second unit.

 

[Finito]

Ride Booker he gots the hot hand. I don’t want to see him with 17 in the first and end up with 22 at the half

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are going through one of those periods when they go cold from outside and no one getting to the basket.

They look like a different team when this happens.

 

[Cheesebeef]

First game in a while I haven’t felt CP3 make an impact. Still early though. To beat this Blazers squad, gonna need at least one other big time performance alongside Book, who hopefully keeps tearing through the nets.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with corner three!

Suns lead 48-42.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul is scoreless but running the team with 5 assists.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton and Saric missing layups.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Ayton is such a goof around the rim

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 63 - Trail Blazers 52

Booker with two at halftime buzzer.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Super Darioooo

Lol. Prophetic.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Pretty entertaining first half. That book and 1 was nasty. Feels like his handles are getting a little better as the season wears on. That’s big. Kawhi showed that you can go from mediocre handles to ridiculous. If Book really improves there, he could be even better than he already is. Like almost unstoppable.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul has been shooting so well but is 0-6 in first half.
