Blazers @ Suns Tuesday NBA Play-In Game Thread, 4-14-2026

lol. I just realized I’m way behind everyone.

 

[FB94]

Strong close to the half, need to regroup and limit the three’s and win this game with their defense

 

[Cheesebeef]

Could be way worse. 10 minutes ago I was writing this game off

lol… same. I was literally about to change to see what was on Netflix.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Lucky to be down only 3 the way that 2nd quarter was going. Blazers were on fire.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I got to be honest though, every minute Ryan Dunn plays over Fleming is a fail

 

[Phrazbit]

We finally started looking for the open man there instead of driving and hoping for a prayer or a whistle.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Jalen is the only player who looks like he is feeling no pressure.

Jalen and Book work need some help. Brooks started need more

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Lamelo should be suspended for tripping abedayo

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Agree with spo. Lamelo should’ve booted.

 

[Proximo]

We have to get some steals, not sure we had one that whole half.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Oh Man… Lamelo definitely should have gotten kicked out or now suspended. You take a guys legs out from under him while he’s off balance you are trying to hurt him.

What a crap move.

Yeah his mea culpa was mea BS.

Wow, I saw the ending of the game, didn’t know why Bam was out.

That play was crazy dirty.

I don’t get it. We were playing good ball against good teams but coming up short when Fleming was a rotation player. Then we sat one of our only good straight up defenders with size who could also shoot the three and our defense fell off a cliff and we started getting punked on a regular basis.

Just don’t get how Fleming ended up in the doghouse.

 

[Proximo]

Starters won their time, but our bench got lit up.

He’s only in the dog house because of his occasional dumb turnovers. Ott doesn’t want mistakes in this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Down by only 3 points at the half. Suns need to make a statement and push the pedal to the metal and not let up.

Not playing Fleming is definitely a choice. Seemingly a BAD choice. But a choice.

Got to get out and run and get some open 3’s. We suck in the half court way too often.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

I don't think it's a doghouse thing with Flemming so much as an inexperience thing. I think Ott believes playing the veterans gives us the best chance of winning this.

Beyond that, if Royce is cold, which he is, he shouldn’t play over either Dunn or Fleming.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

Also true

 

[Covert Rain]

Oso has been so so again. If he plays like that the 2nd half they need to give those minutes to Flemming or Man Man.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I like that Brooks forces the physicality with holiday and Mae’s them call a foul.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Green was mugged and no call.
