Game Thread Preseason Game #1 Suns @ Trail Blazers Game Thread

[DUB]

Harkless going for another huge dunk!

 

[H.C.]

I wonder when we're going to see Morrow. I just can't see Pat possibly getting PT over Morrow.

I think Morrow got pulled in the 2nd quarter when he lost track of his man defensively and gave up a wide open 3.
Maybe not b/c pre-season but...

Zach Collins reminds me of a 7-1 Andrei Kirilenko

I think I saw him in the first half. He's really slow looking.

He certainly didn't look happy when he came off.

 

[joeBlazers]

We are going to be good. I don't care what people say. This team will be solid. I love our rookies. They will bench all those Challenged BIGS we have.

 

[DUB]

I theory, I like the Nurkic/Collins front court. It's just a matter of whether Collins potential can be fulfilled.

From your phone to God's IPad.

 

[BrianFromWA]

semi-impressed by Zach's stamina to go on a 7-minute shift to start the half.

 

[Scalma]

Connaughton always looks like he's playing half speed, and not in a good way.

 

[Sinobas]

I think I saw him in the first half. He's really slow looking.

I hope Portland can trade Davis, Leonard, or Vonleh for a decent backup guard.

Ed Davis looked good in the 1st quarter.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Collins is using up his fouls like a prime Meyers Leonard.

well, with his minutes limit, as long as he's not a Prime Summer League Oden, we'll be good.

 

[Darkwebs]

Connaughton has this amazing ability to make absolutely zero impact on the game.

Looking on the bright side, at least he has one ability. That's one more ability than Meyers has.

Spoiler

J/k, I think Meyers is gonna have a good year.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Archie Goodwin looks like Dr. Dre’s son.

 

[LuckyShot]

Phoenix is living at the FT line this quarter.

 

[Scalma]

Free Briscoe

 

[Jade Falcon]

Pat is looking fucking useless. If we could trade him and Meyers for a backup PG, I'd be happy.

 

[rotary111]

Looks like Collins could live up to the 10th pick after all. To soon??

Avery Bradley? Reggie Jackson?

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Free Briscoe

Maybe they’re pulling a Quarterman and not playing him all preseason and then he ends up making it.

 

[Blazinaway]

Zach Collins reminds me of a 7-1 Andrei Kirilenko

Uh I'd take that!

 

[H.C.]

Too soon, Vonleh looked dominate against these soft bigs the Suns have last pre-season.

 

[Jade Falcon]

Swanigan definitely needs some development. Which is to be expected, of course.

 

[RickyJoe]

I really like the rookies! They will get minutes this year.

No, I thought that when we drafted him. It would've been a bad pick if the expectation was that he couldn't live up to the pick.

 

[H.C.]

Great defense by Swanigan on that pick and roll.
Cut off the drive. prevented the easy jumper. Forced a pass.

 

[Sinobas]

Blazers perimeter defense...bleh.

 

[Jade Falcon]

SIGH!

 

[DUB]

The Suns have closed the gap. Does this mean that their scrubs are better than our scrubs?
