Game Day: Suns (25-23) @ Blazers (20-29), Mon 2/3/25

[Charlie Smithy!]

I have no great love for this version of the Suns.

Trade them all.

I know I said this much to you privately, but it's still true, I feel like the the most charitable emotion I feel for this team is apathy. Anytime I feel anything different from that? Definitely not as charitable.

But yeah, we are (still) in agreement

Just another one of those games that takes years off a Suns fan's life.

SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE

I can only hope this is the case.

Yep, get him out of here.

[JeremyG]

Booker will miss one.

Why you do this

Because he’s cheering for the other team

I'm cheering for the big three to be traded. So if this helps, so be it. Very unlikely all of them will be traded before summer, though, obviously.

Honestly, James Jones shouldn’t have a job. That Camara shit is malpractice. He built this team with shit centers and bunch of guards who are horrible defenders. That’s tale of the last two seasons. Too small, horrible perimeter defenders with unplayable centers. 2 straight seasons of this. Got bullied into get pg that made us more tiny and horrible on defense. Just a choke job of roster construction.

[JeremyG]

I’m glad everyone agrees that it’s so much better to have Grayson Allen’s 3 points & 4 rebounds and Nurkic’s 0 & 0 than to have Ayton and Camara’s 42 & 17.

I’m glad everyone agrees that it’s so much better to have Grayson Allen’s 11 points & 3 rebounds and Nurkic’s 0 & 0 than to have Ayton and Camara’s 42 & 25.

[Uncle_Gene]

DeAndre Ayton showed up tonight and had a huge game. I think he even made all this free throws.

It seems like he got every offensive rebound in the fourth quarter and overtime.

[Charlie Smithy!]

Booker will miss one.

Why you do this

Ask Devin why he can't be clutch? It was obvious it would happen, on the night he broke the franchise record, of course this is how it would end.

Aside from quoting this message in my reply, I honestly don't know how to respond to this. And since I feel like that question and premise are both loaded, I don't think any more discussion from me on this would be productive.

[Superbone]

Blazers are inviting us to blow out this game.

But we said, no thanks.

[JeremyG]

I'd rather have Avdija and Camara than Allen and Dunn, and it's not particularly close.

We could have had Camara and Dunn and Ayton, just by not having Allen.

[SunsShine]

This is the least fun Suns team of all-time.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Ayton was mostly irrelevant the whole 4th quarter when he was being defended by Royce O'Neale.

Good for him for being the biggest guy on the court and grabbing rebounds. Clutch free throws, obviously.

[Superbone]

I want chaos, let's go Blazers.

You got it.

Regarding this, jeremy, I have to ask, what is your intention? Because to me, I feel like it comes off as someone trying to stir the pot.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Still rather have moved on from the inevitable Ayton disappointment. Worth it to not deal with his lazy ass.

[Superbone]

There was a play late in the 3rd where three Suns stood around the 3 point line and watched a loose ball off a Suns miss that ended up near the foul line while five Blazers swarmed on it. And then still managed to be slow back on D so that Camara got a wide, wide open 3. Very lazy basketball.

The team in a nutshell.

The only thing I regret about that trade was including Camara. He’s exactly the kind of player this team could use.

Nope, just someone still pissed off at the worst trade in Suns history and shocked that anyone still defends it.
