[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 33 - Trail Blazers 21

 

[Mainstreet]

The Trail Blazers have some big guys. We should make a trade.

Lookin like a pretty good start

 

[Mainstreet]

That Bud timeout turned into a bad thing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant has missed something like 4 shots in a row.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant needed me to say that as he makes a mid-range shot.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns could use Robert Williams.

 

[Mainstreet]

How did they even call that an offensive foul on Booker.

KD being cold at the start of the quarter was the difference. Kinda weird since he was good in the first quarter.

 

[Mainstreet]

It wasn't.

It took a review to over turn it, though.

Unfortunately, that is NBA reffing these days. I am amazed how much better the refs were seemingly in the seventies and eighties.

I'm not sure if they were better, but they tried to even out bad calls fairly.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns come out in a daze in the 2nd half.

Tie game at 57.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns quickly trail 62-57.

Maybe they are tired or bored or something?

 

[Yuma]

HORRIBLE start to the quarter.

 

[Proximo]

When nurk is bad, he is really really bad. Bench his ass.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce is knocking the threes, thankfully.

 

[BirdGangThing]

kd doesn't like missing 3s lol he gets mad and shoots more

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are going to miss Tyus next season.

 

[BirdGangThing]

book³ for the lead

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker is 6-12 for 19 points to lead Suns scorers.

Watch some old games, they weren't better. We didn't have the camera angles to see things like we do now in the clarity we do. In the old days though they'd generally err on the side of not calling something than calling it, which is done now in the name of player safety.

It's not better or worse, different, but the same missed calls were missed then. It's like a seesaw, it's never been good or flat. It always swings far to one side or the other, too involved or not enough.

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 83 - Trail Blazers 79
