Suns @ Trail Blazers Saturday game thread 10-23-2021

[Cheesebeef]

Yeah... I ain’t getting Suns pass this year. They’re on national TV another 29 times this season and I feel like the Ayton contract thing being up in the air and him looking like... well, Ayton, prob don’t need to blow the extra dough this season.

Doesn’t mean I’m giving up on the team as I’m sure someone will say. But between being vaccinated and not needing so many hours killed like I did during the height of the pandemic and just wanting to be out of my house more, the extra expense might not be worth it this year.

 

[Mainstreet]

Beyond ridiculous.

 

[Proximo]

Good grief. Empty the bench.

this is embarrassing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Play Stix. He can't play worse.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix is out there.

 

[Absolute Zero]

 

[Mainstreet]

Nice move by Stix for basket.

Did you check because mine renewed automatically. My wife’s asked me what did you buy from the NBA and I was like not a damn thing.

 

[Proximo]

Stix not looking to bad. I think we should give him Nadars minutes.

 

[Finito]

I’m not watching this one I’m watching the fights but I just checked the score. Good lord thank God I skipped this

 

[Finito]

I don’t understand Montys obsession with Nadar I just don’t see it in him

 

[Mainstreet]

He is looking like he will develop into a player. I'd like to keep him.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Trail Blazers 134 - Suns 105

 

[GatorAZ]

As others have mentioned we started out 1-5 in 2007 and finished with 61 wins. Not a big deal right now.

 

[bankybruce]

McCullah is destroying us.

philly Is dumb if he is available for Simmons and they aren’t doing it.

Neil Olshay will never trade CJ, he is way too in love with him. The Raptors offered Siakam and VanVleet for CJ and Olshay turned it down. He also said he never actually engaged in a Simmons trade, but I don't see that ever happened.

 

[Mainstreet]

Portland made 21 three point shots (21-50) for 42%.

Suns were 9-28 from three for 32.1%.

 

[Yuma]

Stix probably didn't get credit for all his blocks, but he was erasing some shots.

 

[Absolute Zero]

I got nothing

 

[Yuma]

We got out hustled in 2 of our three games so far. Resting on our laurels a bit. Gotta get hungry again!

 

[Mainstreet]

All I can say after this is... Go Cardinals!

 

[overseascardfan]

Ayton better play better if he expects anyone to offer him a max deal.

 

[GatorAZ]

Can someone explain why we had to play road games on b2b nights but only have two games over the next ten days?

 

[AzStevenCal]

Can someone explain why we had to play road games on b2b nights but only have two games over the next ten days?

Yeah, 3 games in 4 days followed by 1 game in 6 days. I guess the league was afraid we'd find our rhythm early.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton starts the game with lots of energy like in LA. Hopefully he will get rewarded.

This aged poorly. He was awful on both ends of the court. He mainly jogged from the top of the key to the top of the key. Maybe he got a little cardio tonight bc he sure didn’t play basketball. And man was his defense putrid.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

He flat out SUCKED tonight.
