What we really need is Jerami Grant to take over a game and be that guy.

Grants had games in his career where he’s basically unstoppable, but hasn’t had one like that yet here.

Hopefully he makes the most out of increased opportunity tonight. We’ll need a lot from him to get a W tonight.

I don't really want to see him try. I don't think he is that type of a player because of his mediocre handles. He is more of a catch-and-shoot guy IMO. But if we are asking him to put the ball on the floor and create his own shot, that will not work for a full game. In spurts yes, but not the whole game.
 
We should just play our Summer League Team and rest everyone for 2 games against the Suns. Bring them all back for the Miami game
 
It's probably better to be blown out short-handed against the suns then blown out with a healthy team. I am trying to be positive. Most likely this will be over in the first 10 minutes then Billups can just focus on player development.
 
Looks like Ayton may be playing.
 
Bookies dont like us much in this game. Good news after these two games we do not play them again unless its the playoffs. We are getting 10.5 points if you think thats enough. I think the Suns we be looking for a little pay back after their only loss this season so far from us. If you bet $100 you get $400 back good luck on that straight across bet and blazers win.

5-2 (5-1-1) 219.0 +400 15.9%
Phoenix Suns
6-1 (5-2-0) -10.5 -550 84.1%
 
nurk shouldnt play either (cant see us winning without dame & ant)

its back to back, play nurk tomorrow and hopefully ant plays too, then we might have a chance

Well that explains the ten point spread. Until it was officially reported that Ant was out I was going to say that it would be good to bet on us to cover... not so sure now. That being said with the way the Suns have played this season, if we were to get some kind of breakout night from Shaedon along with really great nights from Nurk and Jerami, we could still win this game. I would put a starting lineup of Shaedon, Josh, Justise, Jerami and Nurk out there... I think that provides the most switchability around Nurk on D and a possibly very explosive offense both in transition and within the half court set.

Not a bad idea. Phoenix might let up a bit if that happens or maybe rest their own players.

On the other hand, if they pressure us all game it could get real ugly.
 
So, Keon starting at PG? Winslow backing him up?
