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

[BirdGangThing]

we're somehow getting worse at 3s

 

[Chris_Sanders]

OMG Beal hits the back of the basket. What is happening??

 

[Mainstreet]

Beal hits all backboard on his shot.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Lol we are so losing this game

 

[BirdGangThing]

we better not miss a single 3 in the second half because damn

 

[Mainstreet]

Simons is going to be a star tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns don't even chase the loose ball.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Just chucking up garbage. No real offense

 

[Phrazbit]

We’re playing like butt. Lots of lazy offense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Trail Blazers 47 - Suns 43

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Apparently Budenholtzer has to chew them out every half

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Maybe settling for too many threes, but they have gotten a ton of good looks. Hard to blame them for taking them.

 

[Proximo]

Did the suns piss off a witch and get cursed or something?

That was a hideous shooting half.

 

[BirdGangThing]

whole team ice cold from deep aside from tyus and greyson

27% on 27 3 attempts is bad bad bad

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic and the bench are a problem tonight.

 

[GatorAZ]

Blazers played in Portland last night. No excuse for another slow start.

Welp

 

[JCSunsfan]

Portland is working hard on perimeter defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm missing Frank Kaminsky tonight. The play of the Suns centers has been bad.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Nurkic and the bench are a problem tonight.

And Booker

 

[BirdGangThing]

f it - if we can't hit the 3 just put defense on the court - should still be able to win

 

[Mainstreet]

Portland is working hard on perimeter defense.

So where are the cutters with Portland extending their defense?

 

[Phrazbit]

Zero crowd energy

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.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I'm missing Frank Kaminsky tonight. The play of the Suns center has been bad.

How can Kaminsky be worse than Nurkic? I mean let Bol get some minutes at this point

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Portland is working hard on perimeter defense.

I don't know. Maybe they are cutting off driving lanes well, but they gave up a lot of open threes. We were simply ice cold from out there.

 

[BirdGangThing]

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