Trail Blazers @ Suns (season opener) 10-18-17

Alright, Jackson scores the first points with a 3 pointer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Jackson with flying fastbreak dunk. He already has 5 points

I know it’s early, but I really like Devin’s defense so far.

The effort is there. He almost knocked the ball away from a Portland player.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need a center who can finish taking nothing away from Chandler.

Chandler giving a ton of effort out there.

The Suns really struggle inside without Chandler.

 

[Mainstreet]

How is that not continuation on the Bledsoe shot?

 

[Finito]

Great defense by bender

Bender is definitely putting out the effort on defense and offense. Hopefully it will pay off.

Suns offensive schemes are too simple. A screen here then a screen there. I’m not sure coach Watson is going to get us over any hump.

Then when we go iso we don’t have the personnel to be consistent scorers besides Warren. Booker isnt as consistent as two years ago when he took the league by surprise.

I like Bledsoe and his game. I’m just not sure he’s the main guy to lead these young guys to a winning culture. Makes good drives, plays defense but I just haven’t seen enough leadership out of him.

 

[Mainstreet]

With Len out the Suns are missing Alan Williams big time.

 

[Chaplin]

TJ Warren is non-existent.

 

[Mainstreet]

TJ Warren is non-existent.

So is Chriss who has only played 3 minutes thus far. He got manhandled inside.

Even though this is just the first game. This Suns team is painful to watch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Portland has out rebounded the Suns 30-17 thus far.

 

[Folster]

Pretty poor showing.

There are clearly going to be a lot of growing pains with this team. I don't think worrying about tanking at the end of the season is going to be an issue. We will have a top five pick at mimimum regardless. I guess the more interesting thing will be to follow Miami and see where that pick ends up.

 

[Mainstreet]

To state the obvious, the Suns are not a physical team.

 

[devilalum]

Wow, that was horrid.

I agree. No need to think much about tanking when the Suns can do it quite nicely on their own by playing their younger players.

Chandler needs some help out there.

Iso ball sucks.

If only we had Brandon Knight right now!

 

[hsandhu]

If we want to tank, keep bledsoe. Hes great attacking the rim, but loves taking awful long range shots he never makes.

Plus his inability to shoot off the ball means he and booker do not play well together.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench has yet to score. Portland's bench has scored 24 points.
