Suns @ Trail Blazers Monday game thread 2-3-2025

[95pro]

I'm not sure why Grayson is driving the ball when he can't get his shot off when he does.

O’Neal kicked it out to him and he was open. Instead he drove into two defenders.

11 more for Book

Yes, that's the problem. Allen needs to take the open shot.

 

[95pro]

We need to get the timing down with Richard’s screens.

 

[Hoop Head]

Ayton's bad hands work for us, finally.

 

[Yuma]

I am so sick of this stupid countdown. I hope book scores quick and gets this nonsense over with.

Not me. One of the few bright spots all season. Walter held that record a LOOOOOOOONG time.

bud just hasn't been happy with dunn's play as of late - not sure it's ankle related

 

[Yuma]

Richards seems like he's scared to shoot against Ayton. He's giving Ayton the night off if he doesn't shoot.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

reply that

 

[95pro]

Okay now that Jones is in, I notice the offense slows down too. It’s not his fault but we just don’t initiate the offensive set fast enough.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

3 ball gone cold

 

[Mainstreet]

That clearly wasn't goal tending by Richards.

 

[Hoop Head]

Why is Grayson's shot so slow? He normally fires really quick.

 

[Yuma]

Coach Bud iced Booker by taking him out on a heater.

Richard’s was a second string center. These minutes, situations and expectations are new to him.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Me too. Cotton would have him play until he was gassed, and then push him back out there shooting as hot as he was doing.

Yup Coach Bud completely took him out of his rhythm.

 

[95pro]

TC fouled Book. Anyone see the girl in the red shirt lol

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns with a couple of bad calls.

It makes no sense to have him in when he's deferring to Book and KD like he is.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need a center like Ayton or Nurkic… oh wait.

 

[95pro]

Once Ayton was stripped his tail went between his legs

I think acquiring Richard’s has taken Dunns effectiveness down a bit.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

more turnovers than a bakery

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

shooting like hell but still trying to build a lead - book with 3 fouls now

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker now has 3 fouls.
