I think Portland is somewhat of a streaky shooting team from what the timeline pod said. But we seem reliant on them cooling off.

To much one-on-one offense, They're so much better when they move the ball.

The last few months have been pretty rough. A lot of our guys who played well for us at the beginning of the year have kind of disappeared.

I’m no scientitian, but I feel like giving up 3s and dunks and only shooting middies won’t work out well for us in this game.

I don't think we're going to win many NBA games where the other team makes 10x as many threes as us. Like wtf

Maybe the first 2/3s of the season really were an aberration?

Blazers look like the bigger, stronger, better team. And we cannot hit a 3 to save our lives.

If you can't defend without running around double-teaming everything you're going to leave a lot of shooters open for 3's and Portland has taken advantage of that.

Green is the one obviously hot hand. Suns need to just feed him in the second half. Williams also playing well.

The three-point shots are finally starting to fall.

Nice run by the Suns to cut the deficit to 3 at the half.
