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

[Chaplin]

Dang EG! What an acquisition!

 

[Proximo]

Goodwin looks good.

 

[Chaplin]

Eric Gordon is going to win a few games for us.

 

[GatorAZ]

Gordon has looked more spry since FIBA.

 

[Hoop Head]

Third times a charm for Goodwin. During JJ's tenure we've had D'Anthony Melton, Javon Carter, and now Goodwin. Lets keep this one, please. He's a feisty defender, hopefully he can shoot.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Goodwin was known as a playmaker on defense last year. Looking about right so far in this game.

Gordon absolutely broke someone's ankles..

 

[Chaplin]

I think our 2nd 5 is close to final imo.

Gordon
Allen
Eubanks
Metu
Goodwin

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant is starting to warm up.

 

[Hoop Head]

Gordon has looked more spry since FIBA.

I think he enjoys the freedom. We're not just sticking him in a corner to shoot like LA and Houston did, for the most part. Let him cook.

 

[Chaplin]

I LOVE Nurk as an option to bring the ball up.

[Chaplin]

Nurk has been great.

 

[Proximo]

Nurk has been pretty good tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic with some nice passes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Nice move by Gordon.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Eric Gordon is really 28 years old

 

[Chaplin]

Liked that foul by Book.

 

[Phrazbit]

This is what I mean about the polarity of opinions on Beal's defense.

There isn't really any basis in the belief that Beal is a plus defender. You can hope that being on a contender will fire him up, but statistically he is a sub par defender.

But he isn't here for his defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gordon... oh my.

 

[Folster]

Nurk with the flat-footed stuff.

 

[Proximo]

Wow Gordon is playing great

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

When I was a kid my father taught me to swim by throwing me in the Suns end

 

[GatorAZ]

Nurk has been awesome since the first few minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns jump to a 10 point lead, 63-53.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurk with the flat-footed stuff.

I like that. He must have big hands.
