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

[Mainstreet]

On Saturday, the Trail Blazers visit the Suns at Footprint Center.

It’s the first game of a three game home stand.

The Suns move to 4-1 after their win over the Clippers on Thursday.

Portland is 2-3 with their last win over the Clippers as well. They play OKC at home on Friday, so it's a back-to-back affair for them as they start a four game road trip.

The 76ers and Heat visit the Suns on Monday and Wednesday, respectively.

When: Saturday, November 2, 2024

Television: Suns Live, Arizona's Family 3TV / Arizona's Family Sports

Radio: KMVP 98.7 / S: KSUN

Time: 7 PM Arizona time

nurk vs ayton is usually worth the watch and usually sparks a lot of interesting conversations in here lol

Recent Suns teams have, for the most part, struggled with not playing down to the opponents level. I hope Bud can work on this as well.

Well in my opinion the Suns have already done that against both the Clippers and Lakers. They are a much better team than both, yet managed to fall way behind to both.

looks like more dunn - even if beal is at 80% you gotta say we got this and have him get healthy - the elbow is pretty darn important in basketball

Blazers still look like a sum of parts and not a whole. Completely disjointed. I like their young talent. Billups aint it

A gut feeling based on the comebacks?

I believe falling behind early is a rotation discovery issue based on a given opponent’s scheme.

Go Suns!

Looking really good to start the season! Bud has them playing much faster and I'm very happy about that!

Billups aint it

Doubt he makes it to new years but that roster is like the island of misfit toys. Clingan is their only intriguing piece.

Clingan has been very meh to start and isn’t taking any meaningful minutes away from Ayton.

Grant, Sharpe, Scoot, Simmons, and even Camara are really good high potential players. That’s enough talent to at least get to the play-in game.They need a better coach and a solid veteran to get to that next level

Clingan plays like you want a big to play and Ayton is off to the worst start of his career so far. Not saying he should be starting, but he should get the opportunity for more minutes.

Grant is a black hole offensively and stopped trying to play D since he left Denver.

Sharpe and Scoot may have potential, but they haven't given any indication they'll have a positive impact to winning.

Simons could be an effective 3rd guard. Camara and Deni(if regains last year's form) could be solid rotation pieces . Expecting this squad to compete for a playoff spot, even as a play-in seems to be asking a lot. It's far more likely they just tank and try to get into the Flagg sweepstakes.
