Game Thread 2023-24 PRESEASON - BLAZERS VS SUNS - OCTOBER 12, 2023 - THURSDAY - 7:00 PM PST - NBATV, ROOT +

[KingSpeed]

Pretty obvious the Suns are the better more talented team.
Get ready for a long season.

I don’t know. We’ve looked good and we’re not playing Phoenix every night.

 

[riverman]

Nurk is looking at a triple double tonight

 

[Chris Craig]

Flop

 

[Chris Craig]

Nurk is looking at a triple double tonight

Too bad he refused to play that well here.

 

[Tince]

I'm starting to think Phoenix might be better than us.

 

[OneSport3]

Shaedon has looked underwhelming so far in the first 2 games.

 

[riverman]

Getting really ugly now

 

[MickZagger]

Yeah Phoenix clamped down and we got rattled

 

[Everything Beagle]

I see Phoenix woke up long enough to swat us down… those turnovers are brutal

 

[illmatic99]

really under utilizing Ayton

 

[Cugel]

What is Billups doing? Anything?

 

[illmatic99]

Yeah Phoenix clamped down and we got rattled

we have no half court offense. just guards doing DHOs and chucking

 

[Chris Craig]

Well this sucks.

 

[Everything Beagle]

Moses Brown is not worthy of being on an NBA roster.

He is if you want the #1 pick this summer

 

[beast blazer]

Whoever is left that had a hand in the root sports deal needs to be fire. What a horrible experience for fans trying to watch games. It's straight pathetic. Root sports is a garbage organization. Why would they even want the blazers with such dogshit coverage.

I don't know if all of the game are only going to be a Root+? I still get Root but not root+ and I refuse to upgrade over this BS.

 

[Everything Beagle]

What is Billups doing? Anything?

The only thing he’s doing is making me miss Nate McMillan

 

[Chris Craig]

What is Billups doing? Anything?

Watching.

 

[Whyachi]

Nassir Little starting SF +22
that's not true... that's impossible !!

 

[KingSpeed]

When will ever be good at defense? Should’ve kept Jrue, get OG, Jonathan Isaac. I can’t watch this D anymore. Fire Billups, hire Doc Rivers.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Shaedon has looked underwhelming so far in the first 2 games.

He’s not good. I was wrong about him

 

[julius]

I was under the impression that Ayton was good.

 

[AldoTrapani]

I was under the impression that Ayton was good.

If he was phx would have kept him

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Scoot definitely having a rookie night lol

I worry about Sharpe being the type of player that needs to be focal point of offense or he’ll lose interest.


Last year when he was focal point he excelled. Not necessarily bad thing but Billups will have to find way to get him more involved.

 

[wizenheimer]

Brogdon really reminds me of Andre Miller.

yeah, a 6'5 Andre Miller with solid D and a three point shot

 

[blazerfan11]

The offense. 15 points in the 2nd.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Too bad he refused to play that well here.

I've noticed that Phoenix never posted him up; I think that's smart.

 

[illmatic99]

might want to take a few years off, homie. This will not be pretty for a while.

Milwaukee is a good team to follow.

 

[Whyachi]

Watching.

Coach is luckier then most Blazer fans, with Comcast trying their best to blackout Blazer games.

 

[Everything Beagle]

If he was phx would have kept him

Yep, they obviously thought Nurk was better

 

[James lamphear]

Well Henderson going to have hit some 3 or there going play like they do Westbrook. 11 turnover not good but it's a preseason game. I think we going look like of the spurs last year play really good then all sudden they would have 4 minutes stretch where it would fall a part.
