I don't understand why we're resting Ayton.....

 

[blazerfan11]

I understand this is preseason but what exactly is Chauncey trying to see with this lineup?

Separation among the forwards ?

 

[Chris Craig]

i don't get why we are benching ayton every night. thought we wanted to get reps?

Hopefully, he balls out next week to start the season.

I don't understand benching everyone. Or playing 5 3rd stringer lineups. This is pre-season, but it's also the best practice - especially for a team returning almost no players from last year. Why waste it doing nothing?

We need to cut players before season start. This is audition game

 

[Chris Craig]

A foul on the suns? Whaaaat?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

NBA is a tough watch I bet there’s been a foul call 80% of the possessions.

 

[Quatro44]

Young team.

I did give them props for rebounding

 

[B-Roy]

No idea how Moses averaged a double double for like 30 games. Thunder gave him a 4 year deal and then cut bait on him before the first year was even done. That should have been a sign.

 

[TBpup]

A foul on the suns? Whaaaat?

Momentary mental lapse by the ref.

 

[beast blazer]

The Suns are playing Kevin Durant and we're not playing Ayton?

 

[Chris Craig]

I think it's higher than that tonight....well on suns possesions

 

[Chris Craig]

Foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul.

Fucking boring.

auditioning the 15th guy is more important than getting game reps for our highest paid player?

 

[B-Roy]

They drafted Kris Murray because he's closer to contributing. Their words not mine.

 

[Quatro44]

Suns building hotels at the FT line

 

[TBpup]

Foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul foul.

Fucking boring.

The Anti-Thunderdome.

 

[illmatic99]

give rupes 3 yrs. he's gonna be something

 

[blazerfan11]

Rupert!

 

[blazerfan11]

Knox is hard to stop with a head of steam.

 

[LayneStaley]

I’d rather play Knox than Murray. Murray looks stiff and his shot has been garbage since he’s been a Blazer.

 

[inconceivable]

I love Kevin Knox

 

[1 Eye Jack]

I'm hoping he's just trying to get Scoot used to it during the preseason but come regular season won't be doing it nearly as much.

this reminds me of a coach trying to do something to a player because the player before him (Lillard) didn’t play well of the ball. I want Scoot making the game easier for his teammates because that’s what he does best. Going to be painful if this is how he uses him

 

[kjironman1]

Wow Kevin Knox was drafted in 2018 and is still scratching for a roster spot. Guess he isn’t a quitter.

 

[Whyachi]

KPTV listed PG Skylar 5 lbs heavier then PF Jabari
Mays 205
Walker 200

 

[noknobs]

Gonna be a long, long year.

 

[inconceivable]

Skylar > Scoot

 

[TBpup]

Knox has talent. He just seems to have too many lapses and either isn't always engaged, or makes poor decisions too often to offset the moments of positivity.

 

[TBpup]

Gonna be a long, long year.

That is why there is an early Draft thread....

 

[blazerfan11]

They were rebounding well until they started running with the ball.
