Game Thread 2023-24 Game #26 - BLAZERS VS SUNS - DECEMBER 19, 2023 - TUESDAY - 7:00 PM PST - ROOT

[UKRAINEFAN]

A few of his drives, I felt like he should’ve gotten a call. But you can’t win them all. The bright side is 7-1 ast/to tonight, and could’ve had a couple more.

I thought he was really looking to pass tonight.

 

[wizenheimer]

more evidence that +/- for a game to garbage-in/garbage-out: Grant -10 and Camara -8

[TYDame]

Let me watch TNT, maybe they’ll put all KD’s highlights

Nice win.

-- If you aren't excited about the direction this rebuild is taking, I don't know what the heck you're watching.
-- Happy for Ayton, who I've seen taking a lot of criticism that I think is undue. Glad he had a big second half and got to beat his old team.
-- Watching Brogdon and Gordon matched up with each other in the first half was like watching someone slowing down the speed of the feed. Or footage from a 50-and-over league.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

speaking of trades, is there any market for Brooke? sheesh.

Hey, that's my homie!

 

[TYDame]

We need to beat the Wizards next before we go to another losing streak

No no no... that's an important win/loss combo we need to be on the right side of!

I thought he was really looking to pass tonight.

for the most part, Ant looked like a willing passer. He had some MeJ stretches, but not as much as other games. He shouldn't have shot 8 more times than Grant though, because Grant had it going

and, Portland's defense was good, but my gawd the Suns were chucking a lot of bricks tonight

 

[Natebishop3]

Really nice win.

 

[Cugel]

Hey, that's my homie!

That was not a nice comment on my part. I am sure my Sponsor would want me to make amends for that but he is OOT.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

I missed the first half — what happened to Sharpe?

 

[Chris Craig]

Adductor injury

He came in with an adductor injury and probably wasn't feeling right so I'm guessing they just pulled the plug.

 

[Cugel]

gotta love ESPN. POR gets one highlight vs 3 for PHX. Jerkstore

 

[Whyachi]

Gordon & Goodwin shot 2-14.
that's not impressive whatsoever

 

[Natebishop3]

Adductor injury

He was abducted by aliens.

 

[OneSport3]

Ant plays Booker to a draw tonight while getting continually trapped and doubled. The same Booker that is a Top 3 SG in the league.

 

[Natebishop3]

Has it ever been more blatant that this boner is trying to recruit Simons over to his garbage ass boss?

 

[Tince]

Billups said he "liked everything about DA's game tonight."

Might be a bit generous. I didn't realize he played 40+ minutes!

 

[riverman]

This was a quality win and in the end Ayton won the Nurk matchup on pts and rebounds and +/-
Simons finally hit an endgame sealer...seems like a long time since he has...could be wrong but still..good to see.

 

[wizenheimer]

He was abducted by aliens.

he was injured when they dropped him accidentally

[riverman]

Nurk had 9/13
Ayton 16/15

 

[MickZagger]

Stop it... You're putting the meth in methstream

Over 40% on the year. 39% last year. Not exactly a guy you want to leave open.

Much better team ball from him tonight. Makes me wonder if Billups was in his ear about it

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk had 9/13
Ayton 16/15

A tale of two halves

 

[Whyachi]

Camara & Thybulle split 6 steals & 2 blocks
