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

[inconceivable]

Beal made rupert lookin like a rookie

 

[illmatic99]

Gonna be a long, long year.

this is a matchup of possibly the #1 seed vs the 15th seed.

 

[James lamphear]

We don't have the faintness of we actually doing out there.

 

[inconceivable]

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

82 no pressure to win games for Game reps

Horton-Tucker got Walker with that same move in Utah. The young guys don't do well defending crossovers.

 

[illmatic99]

how is that a foul?

 

[TBpup]

[Chris Craig]

how is that a foul?

Because we are the Blazers

 

[Cugel]

wow, turnovers are mind boggling

 

[TBpup]

Scoot has talent, but he REALLY seems to be making incredibly rookie mistakes and poor reads for having played 2 years in the G-League. It's just going to take him a while, but some of this is a bit of a surprise for a #3 pick.

 

[illmatic99]

another phantom foul

 

[inconceivable]

Knox thpught scoot was shaedon woth that lob. Lol

 

[Natebishop3]

I can't fathom why we're running a summer league rotation in this game. This team has zero experience playing together.

that will probably be a common theme this season.

 

[beast blazer]

Murray is probably going to stick around forever because Cronin spent a 1st on him, while better players are cut.

 

[beast blazer]

I'd love to see a lineup of
Scoot
Sharpe
Kersey
Buck Williams
Rasheed Wallace

 

[PtldPlatypus]

This zone is not it.

 

[Hoopguru]

Where is the exciting basketball?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I really did not expect Murray to be the worst of our forwards, but he pretty clearly is

 

[Whyachi]

Phoenix on pace for 160

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Where is the exciting basketball?

Phoenix

 

[illmatic99]

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

 

[EGame]

Chauncey gonna keep going zone so we allow a record amount of points in a preseason game?

 

[inconceivable]

Scoot left grayson allen open wtf

 

[TBpup]

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

 

[Cugel]

I guess I don't understand what CB is trying to do.

 

[illmatic99]

Scoot left grayson allen open wtf

leaving corer 3pt shooters open is our defensive strategy. did you miss the very first play of the game? how bout the very first play for Utah on Saturday? same exact one.

 

[Natebishop3]

I just don't understand what Billups is doing.... they have Beal/Booker/Durant playing in this preseason game and we're out here with a literal summer league team.

 

[beast blazer]

Who do you guys think would win a fight between King Kong and a 60 foot tall Mike Tyson?

 

[James lamphear]

Sharpe needs tightened up his handles. Knox actually looks good out there and billups haven't been playing him this preseason kind of curious.
