Game Day (Preseason): Suns (0-0) @ Blazers (0-0), Tues 10/3/17

[ShelC]

Chriss just did something to his right hand making a block at the rim. Grabbed his hand right away, not sure if he sprained/dislocated a finger or banged his hand on the rim but hopefully it's not serious.

TJ looking sharp and Josh being 2/2 from deep and also 2/2 from the FT line are the best aspects of this first half for me

[ShelC]

I really like Swanigan.

[carey]

Our defense is in mid-season form.

[The Bobster]

We did have a training camp didn't we?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Can we trade Swanigan for Chriss straight up?

[Flagrant Fowl]

Bledsoe, Booker, TJ, Jackson & Chriss to start the second half.

Watson must've been playing 2K18 in the locker room at halftime.

Bender just don’t have it.

He has all the skills, just no aggressiveness. He’s invisible out there and it’s not for a lack of touches. He just immediate passes the ball every time he gets it. He’s scared to touch the ball

[iLLmatic]

Alex Len is looking good tonight. Suns might need to pony up to keep him around if this play continues.

Bender can't bang with the big guys in the NBA.

He pushed the ball up after rebounding a few times in the first half, but the game does seem to be moving too fast for him. Not to mention he's way too soft to play the position dictated by his size.

Well, Bender still needs to mature physically - he's still only 19. But I'd agree that he's got to get noticeably stronger.

And Len looked a lot better than Chandler did not tonight, much more active and Chandler just doesn't have what it takes to guard the rim anymore.

I love Warren's offensive game. That little push shot is nice.

The Troy Daniels trade is looking like a savvy move by McD.

He is playing well with controlled urgency. I like to see him earn Bender's minutes and hold his own against other bigs in the league.

Yeah it's going to take some time.

Once down by 17, the Suns have the lead.

Chandler really shouldn't be getting serious minutes for this team, let alone starting the game.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Nice comeback and all, but Lillard, CJ, and Nurkic were roasting us all game.

[Split T]

Daniels can shoot

[iLLmatic]

Tj Warren will average 20+ points a game this year.

[bajanguy008]

Daniels been cooking but we were more respectable in the 2nd half once Len came in and was a presence on the glass. Agreed that Tyson shouldn't really be playing much
