It's frustrating to see the Blazers get so many second shots. Gotta box out and complete the defensive possession.

Bad ankle sprains are actually indicative of tears in the ATFL and CTFL. The tears get worse over time. I had to get my ankle surgically reconstructed because of "bad ankle sprains" I tried to play through.

Not sure what that says about my scrotum.

Suns offense featuring a steady diet of mid-range jumpers. Giving up open 3 after open 3 on D. Not gonna work.

The quarter was pretty ugly for the Suns.

Probably too early to go down this path, but perhaps a good thing if we get blown out. James Jones and others seem to think that once aytons back they will fix everything. A bad loss may fully highlight our flaws so they actually do something about it. We don’t have have the luxury of saying give ayton 15 games to find his groove.

Weird subs tonight also.

Horrendous quarter. But that shooting by the Blazers was out of this world. Couple that with absolutely dominating the glass, and you get the quarter you did.

Suns have 6 rebounds, Portland has 18!

Boxing out is not one of Ayton’s strengths, is it?

Apparently not Baynes's either.

Ayton looks really rough. Just turned it over with only gentle pressure applied to him.
