Trail Blazers @ Suns Tuesday game thread, 11-21-2023 - In-Season Tournament #3

[Chaplin]

Booker just about gave me a heart attack... I could swear by the way he reacted under the hoop there that he pulled his hammy again.

Borg

Sort of

 

[Chaplin]

Nurk again

 

[Vacard]

Big teams like the Pelicans Will feast on us

 

[Phrazbit]

Book might have hurt his groin.

On the replay it looks like he felt he got whacked in the body.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns can't get those loose balls.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Come on Nas you gotta go harder than that

 

[BirdGangThing]

Nurk gets some love from the home crowd heading to the bench

 

[Chaplin]

They should play like this the entire game. Problem is they don’t.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Durant is the tallest dude on our team out there right now - pay attention to the boards

 

[Chaplin]

Grant is the most empty stat expensive contract in the league. Crazy that Portland are paying him what they are.

 

[Mainstreet]

Little with the open three.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Illmatic with the rebound

 

[Mainstreet]

Little looking like he knows who he is playing against.

 

[Vacard]

I knew it was Book's hand or arn

 

[Vacard]

Nastrodomus with the three

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book returns to the game

(Thank you sweet baby Jesus)

 

[Phrazbit]

Grant is the most empty stat expensive contract in the league. Crazy that Portland are paying him what they are.

Ayton
Kuz
Grant
Poole
....

I need to think of a PG, but that is 4 of my starting 5 "All-NBA making crazy money to overtly not give a rat's ass team".

 

[Dback Jon]

Was saying Book didn’t look right all game

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 94 - Trail Blazers 82

 

[Cheesebeef]

So, there was a report that Beal was having some nerve irritation from his back issues, right?

Not gonna be surprised if we find out he needs a microdiscectomy after three more weeks.

 

[Dback Jon]

Phoenix has to have a huge minus in the last 90 seconds of a quarter

 

[Chaplin]

I’m surprised book didn’t take that final shot.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book getting at Eubanks after the 3rd quarter ends - same way KD was getting on Nurk in Utah

I have no idea what either situation was about but this is what I see that's different

If CP3 or Book or KD did that with Ayton (who's having a great game) it was check out time

Vogel doesn't even have to say anything lol

No. There is no structural damage.

listened to a doc interviewed today he said the injury wasn’t a big deal

 

[Dback Jon]

11 points off the lead in n a flash
