Trail Blazers @ Suns Wednesday game thread 3-2-2022

Taking the fam to see this game tomorrow. Sucks CP3 won't be playing but I hope the rest of the team shows up.

Man, what a call by Harlan. If you don't get chills watching this as a Suns fan I think you need to check your pulse.

Yep, that was right as the arenas opened up to near full capacity and our crowd was bonkers. I remember the announcers and talking heads being blown away by the fans effect on that game.

Let’s get Cam rolling and Holiday backing him up and get this stretch going!

 

[Finito]

I look forward to Holiday getting big minutes

Timberwolves beat the Warriors tonight. The Suns can use any help they can get until Chris Paul returns.

Honestly the Grizz are probably the team we need to worry about. GS has been in a rut for a few weeks now.

Getting Cam Payne back automatically strengthens the Suns bench at forward.

Maybe in the standings but I worry more about playing the Warriors in a playoff series.

I thought the standings are what we are talking about. Assuming both teams are fully healthy I would definitely rather play Memphis.

You got my opinion about the playoffs for free.

Booker is out tonight for Covid. DAMN IT. Feels like a huge waste of money taking the family to the game tonight. No CP3 and no Booker!!!!

Jesus. We can’t catch a break.

The timing is especially discouraging as the hits keep coming. If Shamet is going to step up, now is the time.

I have zero faith in Shamet.

The Suns season that gave me so much joy is now just depressing the crap out of me.

 

[Cheesebeef]

So, this must mean Booker is actually symptomatic and sick too as they phased out testing unless you showed symptoms.

He also had it during training camp, right?

 

[Mainstreet]

I have zero faith in Shamet.

It's not so much a matter of faith as hoping he can contribute. The Suns need to get back to a resemblance of their normal rotation.

I have no faith he will contribute.

This five game stretch to open the post break really needed to be a place to stack wins with 4 of 5 games coming against bad teams. Now it looks like we likely lose 4 of those 5 games and who knows how many until Book comes back.

 

[Mainstreet]

I haven't been keeping track of how long players are out with health and safety protocols... the new normal.

Anyone have an in idea?

Yes, you are right. He missed the start of training camp.
