Time: 8:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Moda Center, Portland, OR
TV: BSAZ/TNT

We've got to get that taste out of our mouths from last night quickly. A chance to redeem ourselves in Portland tonight. The Blazers have been struggling. Let's hope we're not part of the equation in getting them back on track.

Go Suns!!!

Going to be really short handed again if DA is out. Smith is already listed as out and Chandler Hutchinson is on a D League assignment.

I expect DA to play after how engaged he was on the Bench last night.
Monty didn't even let him come around to practice when he first got sick and for comparison Stix wasn't on the Bench last night so I think DA should be ready to go

Just my opinion

It was mentioned in an article or maybe a tweet last month how we use DA more in the short roll now as opposed to waiting to him to get down low.
We all know the issues forever with the timing on alley oops lol but either way his ability to make couple dribbles and hit a floater, make a swing pass and avoid charges from the rotating defender been very good

He looks sharp to start tonight

Remember when Payton used to play here and we all thought he couldn’t shoot because his hair looked like a wide-brim hat? Nope. He just sucks.

Can we petition Monty to never play Elfrid Payton again? I'd rather go 4-on-5.

It's a little thing well maybe big for us as a team but when Mikal gets a steal, rebound and gets over halfcourt and decides he's gonna make a play instead of just waiting for CP3 or the others

Man it's great to see. 3 the previous possession was a broken play and he decides I'm gonna let it fly, gets a steal pushes the ball gets cut off. Ends up exactly the same spot on the wing and again yea I'mma let it fly

Then as a reward we run the pin down set that we run for Book, Landry n Cam and he misses lol cause on the move 3s isn't Mikal but I like the fact he was feeling himself and went for it 😀

JaVale doesn't seem to have his legs tonight. Been a step late and has foul trouble

We keep going up by like 10 and then Blazers get it back to 4 or 6
Well down to 1 now

I turned the game on and the Blazers went on an 11-0 run…this might be my fault

I struggle to figure out how a “shooter” like Cam Johnson misses so many wide open shots. It’s maddening

Didn’t Tony Snell shoot over 50% from 3 last year. He basically only takes wide open corner 3s, but he rarely misses them.

Honestly I think that’s how it goes for everyone. Even the best guys don’t make more than half of their open 3s. You just notice the misses when it’s your guy

I'm more than willing to move Cam Johnson.
