Game Day: Suns (1-1) @ Blazers (1-1), Sat 10/31/15

Suns/Blazers again! I hope to see continued intensity from our guys on defense. The bench may have a bigger role due to the back to back. I understand coach paring down the rotation but I want to see more Booker. I think he's ready now.

Go Suns!!!

My hopes for the game :
More winning
More hustle/intensity on defensive end
Better cohesion offensively
More booker and Len

Nice win yesterday. They redeemed themselves some from the crappy first game. I feel revenge coming from Portland at home though.

Happy Halloween! Be safe. I'll be the guy on stage in the disco outfit at Harrahs.

I wonder if anybody pulled Hornacek aside and suggested giving more than 2 minutes to our best young player. C'mon, Horny, free Booker! :-) And GO SUNS! I'll be watching this one live.

Only a few minutes in and Markieff has already made like 7 distinct mistakes.

I was just about to post how horrible Markieff has been so far!

Chandler seems more hot-head than calming presence so far. He is physical down low, though, which is no bad thing

Morris is playing like he doesn't give a fuck.
I think he is Marcus pretending to be Markieff

Bleds with a great pass in transition to Chandler for the dunk. Knight and Bledsoe are chucking but they're not bad shots. Kieff had a nice 3, Tucker a wild drive to the right that went in. We're active though, and Chandler is fiery in a good way.

Tuned in late. Got caught up in the World Series. Leuer passes the ball. That kind of sets him apart from Kieff.
Go Suns!

Leuer has looked real good in the minutes I've seen. We need to upgrade at the 3. Wish Booker could play there. Kieff has hit two 3s which is huge in helping with the spacing. If that can be a consistent piece to his game we'd be a lot more dangerous.

Bledsoe and Knight have turned it on and we're looking sharp on both ends. You can really see our athleticism and length out there with Bleds, Knight and Chandler. Seems like Bledsoe and Knight are free to go 1on1 iso which is fine when they're hitting like tonight. They might just be bad shot shooters.

Didn't like Len's play in the first half. He's extending himself too far horizontally so that he can't get up high over the defender, and he's off-balance which allows the defender to push him around or bother his shot. Still needs a lot of work.

Bledsoe is playing well. Part of that is that he's up against Lillard, who couldn't guard a chair. But got to give him credit where it's due. I also credit Markieff with shooting well after a slightly slow start. Edit: But he has *4* fouls? Geez.

We need a time out. Bad start to the half. Already gave up our lead.

Watching. Just a little behind. Good first half. Knight and Bledsoe are hitting their shots.
