Game Thread GAME# 6: SUNS @ BLAZERS - OCTOBER 28, 2017 - SATURDAY, 7:00 (PDT), NBCSNW

Aminu is flat out ballin right now! I can't wait for Vonleh to come back, we are going to be a better team with him on both sides of the court.

 

[Boise Blazer]

He was a problem and they moved Turner on him then showed a couple help signs. Looked good.

I would have been able to live with it if Chriss had hit that shot.

 

[DUB]

It would be total meltdown mode. The Suns came to play tonight pure and simple. They can say they suck all they want but that team wanted to get a win tonight bad.

Yeah, they were out for redemption for their opening season loss.

 

[KingSpeed]

We didn't out rebound the Clippers the other night.

By only 2 I guess.

 

[KingSpeed]

Tolliver again!!!!

 

[Trackjack]

Dame was pretty much on Triple Double watch in the fourth. Not sure how that translates into not shooting well? He got his points, Rebounds and Asists plus played well on defense.

7-21 and 3-8 his really not good shooting

 

[KingSpeed]

Clippers won't be good this year, I don't think.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Thats the way it looked to me. They played real tough and Triano knows both the players and Stotts.

It's human nature. They are a professional basketball team in the single most elite association in the world and we're spanked as hard as the world was against the 92 dream team. It's only natural that pride kicks in and propels them to a strong night of basketball.

 

[KingSpeed]

7-21 and 3-8 his really not good shooting

3/8 is GREAT three point shooting. And he shot well from FT too.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Both teams played hard.

We played a little harder.

 

[Sinobas]

7-21 and 3-8 his really not good shooting

3 of 8 isn't bad 3pt shooting, but he shot 4-13 from 2pt range. Under 25%, really bad.

 

[Trackjack]

3/8 is GREAT three point shooting. And he shot well from FT too.

So your saying 33 percent from the field and 37 from the 3 point is shooting well. You got pretty low standard then for someone shooting well.

 

[Jade Falcon]

I will say it's more fun watching a game at Moda than with most of the negative assholes here.

I'm not negative, I'm rational. Your problem, King...as it has ALWAYS been...is that you take a win against a shit team like Phoenix and start making asinine comparisons to that of the Warriors. In fact, you've done it multiple times in this thread.

Guess what sunshine: the Suns are NOT the Warriors, and neither are we. Phoenix isn't even at the level of the Knicks, for God's sake.

So yeah....good win. Against Phoenix. Now stop getting ahead of yourself.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Both teams played hard.

We played a little harder.

Truth.

Plus you could tell towards the end of regulation that the suns just didn't have the boosters necessary to achieve orbit. Our team isn't playing their best but it can't be denied we have a squad of talented and rather clutch ballers,

 

[Sinobas]

3/8 is GREAT three point shooting. And he shot well from FT too.

37% is a GREAT 3pt shooting night in Kingspeed world

 

[StumptownHoliday]

37% is a GREAT 3pt shooting night in Kingspeed world

To be fair, it's pretty good.

 

[Jade Falcon]

To be fair, it's pretty good.

Against Phoenix.

How did we do against the Clippers and the Bucks?

 

[Scalma]

The people shiting on lillards shooting are the same type of dorks that would discredit Allen Iversons career because of his poor metrics and percentages. Most of Lillards shots are good shots. Yes he takes 30 footers, but he's proven he can make it. The only time people complain about it is when he misses. Very rarely does Lillard put up selfish shots, and if he were surrounded by better talent (or better shooters) he could easily rank among the league leaders in assists. He makes everyone around him better. We overachieve pretty much every season and he's the main reason why. Fuck outta here.

I see what you did there.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Against Phoenix.

How did we do against the Clippers and the Bucks?

Dame shot 4/9 (44.4%) beyond the arc against the Clippers and 3/6 (umm.. not sure... I think... oh yes 50%) against the bucks.

 

[Trackjack]

I am not saying he taken bad shots at all but if there not going in then it still bad percent on his shots that all I am saying.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Again if this is Nurk not playing well (17 pts, 9 reb, 2 ast, 1 blk) then I can't wait to see when he gets his rhythm back.

He is playing ok now, but we need more from him. Between him and ET tonight they had about 6 combined turnovers where you couldn't help but just shake your head.

Very impressed with Pat, ED, and Chief.

 

[KingSpeed]

3 of 8 isn't bad 3pt shooting, but he shot 4-13 from 2pt range. Under 25%, really bad.

4-13 isn't under 25%. You guys...

 

[KingSpeed]

37% is a GREAT 3pt shooting night in Kingspeed world

38!

 

[Jade Falcon]

Dame shot 4/9 (44.4%) beyond the arc against the Clippers and 3/6 (umm.. not sure... I think... oh yes 50%) against the bucks.

The team. Not Dame. The whole team.

 

[KingSpeed]

To be fair, it's pretty good.

Exactly

 

[StumptownHoliday]

The team. Not Dame. The whole team.

We were speaking specifically of Dame's 3pt shooting percentage, so I kept my remarks within that scope.

 

[KingSpeed]

To compare, Steph Curry is shooting 33.8% from 3 this season.

 

[Scalma]

I am not saying he taken bad shots at all but if there not going in then it still bad percent on his shots that all I am saying.

Yeah I didn't mean you. I meant the ones with the hot takes.

My boy Chili P looking like Wesley Matthews out there.
