Preseason: Suns @ Trail Blazers Thursday game thread, 10-12-2023

[Folster]

Metu has not been as good this game.

 

[Chaplin]

Do not like Azibuke. Just doesn’t seem to know how to play basketball.

 

[Mainstreet]

I forgot Ayton was on the floor. He has those periods where he disappears.

 

[Hoop Head]

Not gonna lie, seeing Little in #25 feels kind of weird.

I didn't like it but this helped...

Saban Lee needs to learn how to hit those leaners.

Why isn’t Goodwin playing? I have seen enough of lee.

 

[Chaplin]

Watanabe needs to show he can create his own offense through penetration and/or rebounds

Yeah I would think he and Metu need to show something but neither has been able to. So we’ll get a steady diet of forced shots by Saban Lee.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yuta for three.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Why isn’t Goodwin playing? I have seen enough of lee.

Maybe keeping him in the bench role. Also maybe limiting his minutes with it being the first game back.

 

[Hoop Head]

Metu has that spot on the right side down. Yuta was too eager when it was getting a nice bounce.

 

[Mainstreet]

Why isn’t Goodwin playing? I have seen enough of lee.

It's good to give Saban Lee some work. Goodwin is going to be fine.

 

[Folster]

Azuduike

 

[Chaplin]

Not liking this group.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saban Lee knows how to penetrate and create shots. I like his defense as well.

 

[Absolute Zero]

Entertaining Blazers board...

I know it's preseason so it will be interesting to see if things change when the games count, but I can't imagine Ayton is going to be happy with 6 shots in a game.

Minutes restriction.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Went from an NBA game to a rec game real fast

 

[95pro]

Watanabe needs to show he can create his own offense through penetration and/or rebounds

No he doesn’t. He just need to shoot when he can and continue to play off the ball which he has done well before.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton doesn't want to play inside.

 

[Chaplin]

Went from an NBA game to a rec game real fast

And the Blazers are still running their regular rotation.

 

[Chaplin]

DA has Metu on him and he fades away. What a maroon.

 

[95pro]

Azudookie needs to go. He’s just not worth a 2 way.

 

[FB94]

Still haven’t seen enough of these new guys but not overly impressed but most wont see the court unless up big or down big late

 

[Mainstreet]

I wanted to see Ayton matched up with Bol Bol, but he goes to the bench.

 

[Chaplin]

Yuta has shown in preseason that he can take it to the basket. That’s nice to see.

They probably haven't played much together either. Vogel is mixing and matching a lot of players.
