Trail Blazers @ Suns Saturday game thread 11-5-2022

Man… losing Cam sucks. Takes us from a position of strength in trades to a little desperate.

Back to back seasons he gets his season highs… then is gone for expanded period of ti e.

I think this costa him a big contract. He will be bummed he didn’t take the $72M.

I mean he isn’t the defender than bridges is. Nor is he the iron man that bridges is. He hangs his hat on offense but never averaged more than 12pts for any substantial period. He’s still just expected potential at this point. And an older, oft-injured potential at that.

 

[Big Al]

Maybe Duane Washington Jr. will get some minutes tonight as he is AVAILABLE.

We can only hope Washington gets some time but Monty must not have much faith in Washington's ability. Monty sees more of him than we do.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Craig and Landale are answering a lot of questions tonight. Monty is having fun, I think we had three bigs on the court at the same time there in the 2nd quarter. Booker looks good, CP3 could still shoot more but honestly doesn't need to except to keep the defense honest. Bridges and Ayton playing nice too

Monty needs to develop Washington. Can't always get a finished 2nd year player.

I read somewhere the Suns didn't even offer Cam Johnson 4 years/ $72 million. He might have accepted that.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton wil get two free throws off Booker miss.

 

[Yuma]

Ayton wil get two free throws off Booker miss.

I thought it was CP3

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton, so soft

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns bump their lead to 66-42.

 

[Mainstreet]

I thought it was CP3

It might have been.

 

[Mainstreet]

Where were these fouls last night?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Cp3 makes it but with hesitation. Wonder if he does have some sort of permanent damage in his hands or wrists.

I saw him on the bench last night at the end massaging, and clenching that area he injured last year.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Again, not playing aggressively offensively

 

[Mainstreet]

Jock with nice pass to Shamet for the layup.

 

[Mainstreet]

We are seeing point Shamet.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Shamet is a terrible shooter off the dribble

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Closing quarter horribly

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Coax eubanks into more of that DARIO!

 

[Dback Jon]

Super Dario!

 

[Mainstreet]

Super Dario for three!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Closing quarter horribly

This aged well

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 84 - Trail Blazers 61

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man, shamet has to hit that. Wide open corner three. It’s gold in the nba

 

[Mainstreet]

There is a defensive play by Okogie.
