End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 95 - Blazers 82

A game of runs by each team.

Too bad Baynes' career night is eclipsing Saric's best game as a Sun, he has 24 & 8 to Baynes 37 & 16.

Who would have thought coming into the game especially going against Whiteside.

Baynes with 9 3-pointers. Yikes!

He was absolutely horrible in his first game back against Toronto (I think) but he's been very solid since then, even when the rest of the team was playing so poorly.

As I mentioned early in the thread, Saric looked as quick as I have ever seen him. Maybe it's true, he plays better late in the season.

I only caught the 1st quarter and had to rely on gamestreams online for the rest. I was surprised to see Carter had one of the worst plus/minus's. It was like that most of the game but Okobo overtook him towards the end.

Aron Baynes delivered a blast from the past, playing over 36 minutes.

If only he were in a body that could play 32 minutes a game, every game.

Baynes tied for the franchise record with 9 threes. That is hilarious, especially since his shot is so awkward looking. He gets no lift and scissors his legs forward when he shoots.

Well, that man is going to get paid this summer. Hope the Suns can cash in a little on it, maybe with a S&T or something. Not likely, but the teams that will want him won't have cap space, so you never know.

Oh. And the Blazer might be the worst defensive team we have seen this year. They need to blow it up.

Not sure what they expected when they added Melo to the roster.

Every time Baynes shoots a 3-pointer I think he is about to take an extra step or trip.
