Suns @ Trail Blazers Tuesday game thread 12-14-2021

[Mainstreet]

With Booker out we have to figure something out about the opposing team denying Paul the ball. Hard to be efficient on offense when we are constantly relying on Shamet, Bridges and Crowder to create and initiate offense.

The Suns may have to look at playing Payne and Paul together. Maybe try Shamet and Payton on the 2nd unit?

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton looks to PLAY tonight.

Monty says the team needs to be able to play small. Setting screens was an issue last night.

Sweet. Let’s rinse the taste of last night’s get Beat By LA two-fer outta our mouths!

 

[Mainstreet]

Almost time for tip-off.

 

[Yuma]

Kept saying last night, I wish we had Ayton. No excuses since he is playing tonight. I got my booster shot Monday. Feeling yucky today. Pushed through work, but I should have stayed home.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder hits mid-range shot to open scoring.

 

[Yuma]

I notice they aren't prop betting who scores the Suns first bucket anymore!

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with a basket plus 1. He has affected two shots.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Good lord that exchange was ugly.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Ayton leaves dame open for 3 and he hits it.

 

[Yuma]

CP3 don't foul!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Chris Paul with 2 fouls early.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder says I don't need no three.

 

[Chaplin]

I don’t get how Bridges is guarding Dame. He’s let him drive by at least twice.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

THAT dunk is what I want to see more of from ayton. He has the ability to take the elevator to the top floor. Just do it big guy!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I don’t get how Bridges is guarding Dame. He’s let him drive by at least twice.

They play him to take away the three. What you’re seeing is pretty par for the course with how we’ve defendes dame for some while.

 

[Yuma]

That was an Amare dunk by Ayton

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton looking good early 2-2 for 7 points and 3 free throws.

 

[Chaplin]

They play him to take away the three. What you’re seeing is pretty par for the course with how we’ve defendes dame for some while.

That’s not what happened though. Especially that last one, Bridges looked like he was in slow motion.

 

[Chaplin]

And Bridges can’t shoot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder has been hitting long 2s.

 

[Mainstreet]

Go Deandre!

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic with 2rd foul.
