suns have a let down before the half

 

[Raindog]

Suns getting sloppy again.

 

[Superbone]

Loving real minutes for Fleming and he's producing with great defense and making his FTs.

 

[95pro]

Now I know where I’ve seen Flem

Halftime:

Suns 64 - Trail Blazers 61

 

[Covert Rain]

I think we are seeing how important Grayson is to this team. They are really missing him.

 

[Folster]

Avdija looks like Balki from Perfect Strangers.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Sloppy first half. Suns should be down 10 but somehow take a lead going into the 3rd quarter. Is it just me or is this court darkly lit?

 

[95pro]

They are letting both teams play but feels like the suns are taking a lot of uncalled hits.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns rebounding and defense smells like doo doo.

You mean up 10. They were before an 8-0 run by the Blazers to end the half.

 

[dscher]

Two teams who will be battling for the final play in. Meh

No, I mean if they were playing any other team outside this banged up Blazers team, they'd be down 10 or more based on this first half performance.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need more athleticism on the court. Fleming gave them a taste of that.

Phoenix gives the opponent too many easy chances inside.

blazers make a mini run before the half -
suns giving up fresh built leads losing focus - blah blah yada

but the real scoop is the 5+ minutes rasheer fleming just rocked out of no where - started off shakey - a timeott was called - i thought that might be it but fleming stayed on the dance floor and found his rhythm

he hangs out in the corner on offense - only moves when flushed out by a teamate but takes his time going by the basket when doing so - wish he got to shoot another 3 but still - wow ott - outta no where too

question is will we see rasheer again in the second half - he played at the end of the first but unless we're up by alot he won't be there in the end - look for fleming to finish the 3rd /start the 4th quarter

It's reminiscent of the Hawks game. The Trail Blazers are quicker to the ball.

I think we'll see Fleming in the 2nd half. He appears to be part of the rotation changes Ott referred to.

I don't know about Maluach, but size helps and Gambo agrees.

Anyone else think a few minutes from Maluach might help them from stopping some of these drives to the basket by Sharpe and Advija?
