I somehow expected this

Either way I hope we build on Monday's performance (execution/effort) regardless of who Blazers are resting

I really want to see Ayton play down low and bang with Nurk.

Lame about Dame and CJ. I got 100 level seats tonight. I’m stoked to check out Ayton and give my 4 year old his first NBA game.

Dame and Lillard afraid of the mighty Okobo.

3 quick fouls for Ayton with 6 minutes left in the first. Tough showing for him on the defensive end.

This game looks like a typical pre-season finale. Neither team is really getting after it defensively.

Suns don't have that luxury. They are just bad.

Jackson putting up a lot of shots in this one. At least he is hitting some. 3/6 at the moment with 9 points.

Then Jackson gets deep in the paint and passes to the wide-open shooter (TJ) in the corner. Brick.

While the Blazers TV guy says TJ is pretty good from out there. Does this guy watch any team besides his own?

Currently playing Shaq/Daniels/Reed/TJ/Chandler. The offense has come to a screeching halt.

Listening to them, you can tell their only exposure to most of our players came from our games against them last season.

The quarter ends ignominiously with a shot-clock violation.

That's some of the worst defense I've seen since... last week. Offense looks like shit too.
Go Suns!

It’s preseason but it was still largely pathetic.

No defense being played. Ayton racking up fouls because our guards play matador out there. Looks like we are running the old Watson weave on offense with passing and movement with zero purpose - it doesn’t get the guys the ball in a positon to score so why do it? We are running our offense closer to half court than the 3pt line. Portland making us look like a Chinese team out there. Looks like we learned nothing from our last ass kicking
I’m over cannan and Shaq already. They don’t do enough on offense.
