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

I have honestly liked Keon for the most part this preseason. Maybe we can keep him around on a 2 way?

 

[Mainstreet]

Please talk about the players to help them get their rhythm.

 

[Yuma]

I'm willing to give any Suns player with the last name Johnson more than a passing glance. The surname has been good to us.

He's not a very big Johnson...

They would have to waive him.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Diop finally getting a couple to dree op

 

[Chaplin]

Wow, I credit Vogel for getting these guys finally playing like this. Impressive.

 

[Mainstreet]

We finally got Bates-Diop and Azubuike going. Nice job fans.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

You get a decent player on the floor with Diop and he starts to make some plays. Will be curious to see how he plays off some of the starters.

 

[Folster]

Little is not ready. Bench right now is Goodwin, Gordon, Allen, Yuta, and Eubanks. The rest will be battling for scraps unless there are injuries.

That's what she said.

Metu will definitely be in the deep rotation.

 

[Chaplin]

Blazers are still playing some starters.

But when you have a young team, I guess that’s expected.

 

[Folster]

Remember when people entertained the ridiculous rumor of the Blazers giving up the #3 pick for Ayton.

Doesn’t matter. I’m ok with the trade as of now.

Where’s Ayton then lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Yuta is a really nice player. Can play him with almost any lineup.

 

[Folster]

Wow! Impressive pass by Metu.

 

[SunsTzu]

Nice pass by Metu. He has been the biggest pleasant surprise for me, showing a lot more in his game than I thought he had.

 

[Proximo]

To think we played without Beal, Allen, Eubanks, and okogie - thats kind of wow.

 

[Mainstreet]

Azubuike with the dunk as he splits players.

 

[Chaplin]

Where’s Ayton then lol

He’s a vet on this team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 122 - Trail Blazers 111

Really his performance was pathetic, couldn’t even get motivated to play us.

 

[Germz249]

I feel like Yuta should be a starter but then would he be better off being on the bench to give the 2nd team a scoring option.
