Announcers saying Saric losing 6-7 pounds has increased his quickness. Wish Saric played like this all season.

Blazers jump out to a 26-15 lead by shooting 71.4% from the field.

Need some defense from the Suns.

Halftime:

Blazers 54 - Suns 53

The last few minutes of the half was hard to watch as neither team was able to score.

It’s a shame we didn’t get this Saric from day 1.

I'm thinking the same thing. I wonder if the Suns will try to bring him back. Apparently Saric has lost 6-7 pounds which has made him quicker and it shows.

Talk about a player looking quicker, Diallo looks like this as well.

Saric (22) and Booker (23) lead the Suns in scoring.

I’m guessing he will get an offer greater than we are willing to pay. I would take him for 6-7 a year but he will probably get around 9-10.

Agree. I doubt the Suns get in a bidding war for Saric.

Whiteside will be a free agent this summer.

Suns had three players in double figures: Booker (29), Saric (24) and Rubio (21).

It's not fair to expect this roster ever to compete in the fourth quarter. With the starters shouldering way too much of the load, they are completely worn out come crunch time.

No interest.

There is something off with him. Miami was dying to get rid of him, Portland has had a massive let down of a season. He puts up good stats but he kills spacing and is a sneaky bad defender, despite his block hunting.

Yeah. It's hard to put a finger on it.

Whiteside does have impressive moves around the basket and can't teach height.
