Game Thread 2023-24 PRESEASON - BLAZERS @ SUNS - OCTOBER 16, 2023 - MONDAY - 7:00 PM NBA TV, KPTV (2 Viewers)

[Sheldon Shape]

Murray is not good. Trying to figure out what he does well.

He looks like his brother well. Like, in the face.

 

[Whyachi]

when was the last time they had a possession without scoring?

Grayson bricked a three near the start of 2nd qtr

 

[beast blazer]

I confess. Sharpe does not look ready to start.

 

[Quatro44]

Can they cut guys at halftime

 

[bemac]

What is the over/under for games we give up 70 points in the 1st half?

Kind of depends on how many games we play without our 5 best players...But good observation.

 

[EGame]

I confess. Sharpe does not look ready to start.

no one has except simons. oh and jabari has looked good too

 

[Natebishop3]

What is Phoenix/the refs getting out of this? All they're doing is stunting on us.

 

[TBpup]

There....found a shot Murray can take with confidence.

 

[beast blazer]

Scoot is like a QB with no receivers to throw to.

 

[Natebishop3]

Scoot is like a QB with no receivers to throw to.

Yeah... a lot of bricks from the guy he is feeding.

 

[Chris Craig]

Booker is complaining? What an asshole.

 

[Natebishop3]

Booker is complaining? What an asshole.

And Durant is flopping. It's pathetic.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is our PA guy pronouncing it Shae-dawn Sharpe?

Maybe I misheard it.

 

[Cugel]

17 t/o in a half is simply a joke. There is no way to justify that sort of garbage. Just hand the ball to Durant instead. It will make the game go faster.

I believe Scoot will progress but that is a shit stat line.

 

[blazerfan11]

Jabari Walker looks much better than last season.
Something to keep in mind for the rookie players.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is it the saddest thing ever that the Suns keep doing that "wooooooo" thing and nobody participates?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

When Williams is injured, Reath will be a solid fill-in. Really like what he's shown.

not when we keep fouling

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Scoot is like a QB with no receivers to throw to.

Or a QB put at receiver

 

[MickZagger]

Are we tanking the preseason?

 

[Natebishop3]

Sharpe looks good to me... what are people seeing that I'm not?

11 points, 5-9 shooting, 3 assists, 4 boards, 1 steal.

 

[illmatic99]

Or a QB put at receiver

lol why does chauncey keep running our best playmaker off the ball?

 

[Haakzilla]

Is it the saddest thing ever that the Suns keep doing that "wooooooo" thing and nobody participates?

...it's a lot more fun to say "Boooooo" in a Ric Flair tone!

 

[illmatic99]

Sharpe looks good to me... what are people seeing that I'm not?

11 points, 5-9 shooting, 3 assists, 4 boards, 1 steal.

his driving and handle look so much better than this time last yr.

 

[Chris Craig]

Are we tanking the preseason?

Do we get a pick for this?

 

[DaLong]

62 wins. Book it.

 

[1 Eye Jack]

As a coach you should know enough from practice to know which players should make the squad. Right now we should be focusing on the key guys getting as much PT as possible not figuring out who is going to make our squad

 

[Chris Craig]

62 wins. Book it.

62 losses is more like it

 

[Blazinaway]

Where is the exciting basketball?

Seriously wondering if Billups is the right head coach for this team, or any team

 

[illmatic99]

normally, i'd be thrilled that our team is getting 10 days to iron out kinks from preseason, but it looks like we need a complete overhaul.

we've given up 70+ in the first half of every game against NBA opponents. dafuq is chauncey teaching these kids?
