Trail Blazers @ Suns Saturday game thread, November 2nd, 2024

[Mainstreet]

And Booker

At least, Booker usually comes around. The Suns playing sloppy really bothers me.

 

[Proximo]

Portland is working hard on perimeter defense.

Not that hard, we had a ton of open 3’s we just bricked.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

8-27 from 3 and we're only down by 4 pts - how is that possible

They are terrible but tonight better than us?

 

[Proximo]

8-27 from 3 and we're only down by 4 pts - how is that possible

Portland is one of the 3 worst teams in the league, that’s how.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's time to sit Nurkic.

If nothing else, this should get him upset to prove me wrong.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Like the Dia De Los Muertos dancers

Some halftime stats.

[Mainstreet]

I'm desperate enough to trade for Grant Williams.

 

[Phrazbit]

We’re shooting 12/44?!?!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I’m in the arena, a lot of it has to do with them piping so much inane music and chants.

An organic “let’s go Suns” chant will start and it immediately gets drowned out by a awful “de-fense de-fense” over the speakers.

I hate the canned ”de-fense” thing they play adnausium, it’s tempo is awful and never gets the crowd involved and they’ve been using it for 3 or 4 years now.

Maybe Kerr has a point

 

[Phrazbit]

Bol bol in the halftime shoot around went about 0-12.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We’re shooting 12/44?!?!

Only 4 2 point makes. Just nothing at the basket

 

[Mainstreet]

We’re shooting 12/44?!?!

Thankfully, the Trail Blazers aren't shooting a lot better.

 

[Phrazbit]

Maybe Kerr has a point

I agreed at the time, I made the same gripe a few weeks earlier.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Assistant coach thinks the offense is great

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We scored but Nurkic absolutely didn't box out again

 

[BirdGangThing]

let beal - tyus - and greyson cook on them 3s

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal gives the Suns a 1 point lead.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Beal scores and the Suns take the lead

 

[Mainstreet]

Do the Suns not know how to block out?

 

[Phrazbit]

Literally, all three blazers possessions to start the half they’ve been blasting this lame “DEFENSE” chant at full blast from the jump. It kills fan interaction.

[Mainstreet]

Booker seeing the ball go down is a good thing.
