Suns @ Trail Blazers 10-10-18 (preseason finale)

[Mainstreet]

Tonight the Suns wrap up their preseason facing the Trail Blazers at Portland. The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Arizona time.

The only coverage for the game I could find is on radio. It is carried on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. Perhaps other posters can find coverage elsewhere.

Hopefully this game is better than the last (Portland) game. The Suns seemed to start to click in the W's game. They started running the offense more instinctively and began to hit shots. Hopefully that will continue.

It's on NBA League Pass. Set up my DVR last night. 755 or thereabouts on DirecTV. Pretty sure it's the Portland broadcast so keep your barf bag nearby. Those guys are the worst!

I do not subscribe to NBA League Pass so your thoughts about the game will be welcome. This will be a real test for the Suns as they looked horrible in their last meeting with Portland.

I'm not too worried about it being overly ugly. Their main problem in the last game was a lack of effort and I doubt that happens again just a few days later against the same team.

The Trail Blazers have seemingly always played well against the Suns. My focus will be on if the Suns play not so much if they win or lose. It's the last chance for the Suns to get it right before the season opens. I'm thinking the effort will be there tonight as well although that may not be enough.

It's also the last chance to look at some of our guys and evaluate them.

 

[Yuma]

Woj At one point in the scrimmage, sources said, Dragan Bender turned to Owner Robert Sarver and screamed, "You bleeping need me. You can't win without me." Bender left teammates and coaches largely speechless. He dominated the gym in every way. Bender is back.

How about we hold out Booker AND play Bender to even things up here?

Booker with his right hand tied behind his back and you start Bender then you have yourself a deal.

Canaan gets the start tonight.

It is on NBA League Pass (streaming) if you have it...

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Ayton with two smooth, sweet jump shots early - one over Nurkic.

 

[SirStefan32]

Two quick fouls as well.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looked like Ariza was handling the ball some even though Canaan is in the game.

 

[SirStefan32]

And another one. Three fouls in less than six minutes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Layman is playing like an all-star for Portland.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Very little defense being played by the Suns.

 

[Yuma]

And another one. Three fouls in less than six minutes.

That last foul he looked like a rookie.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson is shooting .500 from the field with 9 points. Always nice to see.

 

[Yuma]

Very little defense being played by the Suns.

Offense isn't running plays either. Not a lot of movement.

 

[SirStefan32]

Blazers are just hitting their threes.

 

[Mainstreet]

Very little defense being played by the Suns.

You can say that again. Layman is scoring at will.
