Game Day: Trailblazers (2-3) @ Suns (4-1), Sat 11/2/24

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

Our old buddy Deandre Ayton returns to the Footprint Center Saturday night. How about no more big holes to start games? Can we have an edge from start to finish for a change?

There was some question over whether Beal would play tonight, but he’s a go.

What’s going on with Grayson? He’s had some really bad plays.

Why is 00 the only jersey number with a leading zero? You can have both 0 and 00, but not, say, 1 and 01.

Not sharp but not playing poorly. A lot of shots haven't been falling, especially KD's but we're active on both side of the ball. If/when the shots start dropping we should be able to really pull away.

Terrible game so far. Against anyone else we'd be down 20.

27% FG. JFC. Does it look as bad on TV as it looks in person?

Poor Monte. He signed thinking he had a good chance to start, now he can barely get off the bench.

He looks like he’s on the Oliver miller diet.

And shortly after you say that, we give up a 10-0 run. Don’t jinx us.

Why is 00 the only jersey number with a leading zero? You can have both 0 and 00, but not, say, 1 and 01.
The Rochester Royals used to have a few players numbered that way - Pep Saul (03 in 1950-51), Sam Ranzino (03 in 1951-52), Jack McMahon (03 in 1953-55), Paul Noel (07 in 1951) and Bobby Wanzer (09 from 1949-55).

You would think it would benefit the Celtics to do it since so many numbers have been retired.

The franchise has been paying for it ever since.
