Awesome home opener! Really happy for them.

 

[julius]

Are we going to call the shot by Simons the "Ant Hook"?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Nice home opening win!

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Nice win!

 

[DDolla]

We improved our defense already

I wanted us to go 2-4 in the first 6. now i'm greedy. give me 3-3!

It's fun to win!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Wow, what a game. Lot of room to grow for sure but great win.
Ant's hook shot can be unstoppable. He needs to keep working on it.
7 seconds left, come on Chauncey put in your best defenders, at least Winslow

 

[wizenheimer]

you guys need to stop repeating yourselves

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Blazers 2-0
Suns 1-1
Heat 0-2

 

[Sean.ivity]

nobody was more hyped for Ant after he hit that shot then Dame was, love to see it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Wow simons is a bitch

You just can’t win tonight. Don’t play the lottery.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

HCP had us going 1-9 lol

 

[Pinwheel1]

There were how many seconds left? why not challenge it? It iced the FT shooter

 

[Chris Craig]

Blazers 2-0
Suns 1-1
Heat 0-2
Lakers 0-2

FTFY

 

[Fairly-Hard]

im loving nurk's game tonight.

He played as tough as I have seen him play. Much better.

 

[PDXFonz]

When do we play the good teams?

You weeks from now when PHX beats Detroit by 30 points.

“PHX is the 2nd best team in the league”

Don’t undervalue either of these wins. These first two wins were both against dangerous teams.

We did challenge it.

Tell the truth. You wanted us to go 6-0.

 

[Pinwheel1]

We did challenge it.

Yes but my response was to those who questioned it.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Damn....we are missing chippies at the rim.

A bunch of them.

 

[Strenuus]

HCP had us going 1-9 lol

You wanted to trade dame after 1 game.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Well if the challenge was successful, there would’ve been a jumpball at the key. Not good for us. Easy way for Suns to get game winning 3.

That's what I was thinking although 1.2 advances the ball if Ayton makes those two. I ended up justifying it to myself as possibly icing Ayton and sure enough it worked as did Dame with whatever he said to Ayton right before he went to the line. Killer instinct from Dame and Ant. Love it!

 

[DDolla]

I want to apologize to Chauncey for challenging that call.

Suns are trash

 

[B-Roy]

What a game

 

[illmatic99]

regardless of the win, there was a TON to build on tonight. i really hope they stick with it and figure out the sets better. we can win on quite a few nights if we play like we did this game.

also, i was gonna kill Chauncey for that zone in OT until Grant got that crucial steal.

 

[Tince]

64 FTs in two games is nice.

Credit to Nurk, 8-9 from the line when you're a bit out of shape and mentally fragile. That's big time.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Dame grabbed some huge rebounds. Props.
