Suns match up with Blazers once again. This time in Phoenix. It will be interesting to see what kind of reception Ayton gets in his first return to the Valley.

[TOO]

I need KD to join the headband brigade.

[Mori Chu]

I wonder if DA will try to make up for the mediocre game he had against us last time. You'd have to figure that DomiNurkic won't be able to keep up the numbers he put up in the last one.

I'm really rooting for one or both of KBD and Little to show us something. Those guys are still finding their roles on the Suns.

[In2ition]

I'm looking forward to this game, since the last 3 days without Suns games have been tough waiting to see if these guys can reproduce the offensive & defensive output again. Will this finally be the showcase of a full squad? Is Vogel starting to figure out the rotations and/or have we figured out the death lineup yet?

[Nodack]

A Suns game and a Diamondbacks playoff game on the same night and I have the night off. Sweet!

Yeah, can we agree on no DBacks spoilers for what happens after the Suns game starts? At least the DBacks have a two hour lead time. (In the Suns thread, I mean. Have at it in General.)

You’re going to be watching an NLCS game on delay so you can watch an exhibition game live?

You bet! Actually, I'll be recording both and flipping between them. I do not sit for commercials. Hopefully, the DBacks will have a 6 run lead when the Suns game starts. They do the majority of their scoring in the first two innings, right? At least that's what I've seen in the postseason.

[Nodack]

Great idea. Switch between them and blow off the commercials.

All those dudes got cooked last time out except Time Lord and his knees don't exist so I get why he's not out there.

WIll enjoy Scoot and Sharpe though, those guys are fun.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Malcolm Brogdon was the only reason the last game was competitive.

[Split T]

Ayton didn’t play their last game either…he needs to rest two games in a row? I guess they are resting half their team, but that seems sus to me. Feels like he’s dodging this game.

[Mori Chu]

My prediction for tonight: Ayton and Nurkic put up roughly equal stats and play each other to a draw.

DNP doesn’t count as a stat.

[ShelC]

Camara getting the start tonight.



Billups on DA...some interesting phrasing IMO

[Kryptonic]

Chauncy basically saying he's gonna give ayton enough rope...

[Drewsprocket]

I hate these lame reviews. Just call it or dont. Doesn’t matter until the playoffs in the 4th.

[Flagrant Fowl]

The "clear path" foul was intended to speed up the game by allowing for more transition opportunities, but here we are slowing down the game even more to watch it 5 times.
