The Blazers come to town after a shellacking at the hands of the Nuggets in Portland. The Suns are beat up having lost both Dillon Brooks to a broken hand and Jordan Goodwin to a calf strain yesterday afternoon and already down Devin Booker. Next man up. Who is it? Fleming? Coffey? No excuses.

[Superbone]

Ouch! Allen and Green questionable on top of Book, Brooks, and Goodwin being out.

[Superbone]

Has any player been "not with the team" for so long after a trade like Cole Anthony? Seems weird.

[Split T]

He’s not joining the team. It doesn’t benefit us to waive him, so we will leave him on the roster until we need to fill his spot.

[Danimal]

I mean at this point with the injuries we could probably actually use him.

[Danimal]

Ouch! Allen and Green questionable on top of Book, Brooks, and Goodwin being out.

Just wondering at what point does a team get some kind of injury exemption to allow them to sign additional 10 days?. Feels like the wolves and mavs did it a few years ago and we are on the verge of this due to being so snake bit. Sadly our trainers might be looking for new jobs if we take a dive in the standings and ishbia is looking for someone to blame.

[TOO]

How the fuck is Green questionable? Guh.

[Split T]

Probably played way more than they were expecting yesterday due to the 2OT and may rest him in a b2b. 26 minutes was the most he had played until the 36 he played yesterday.

[ShelC]

Green in, Allen out.

[Superbone]

How the fuck is Green questionable? Guh.

Don't worry. He's starting. Along with my man, Ryan Dunn. Suck it, Saucy!

[TOO]

Eww. We are down bad.

[Kryptonic]

0-7 from 3…. Starting cold.

[specialsauce]

BUNNZ!!!!! Airball!!!!!

[specialsauce]

Bunnz is a worthless player out there

[Wally_West]

We’d probably be a 4th or 5th seed if we just kept Too many cameras bro

[specialsauce]

Bunnz is not even CLOSE on his shots. Embarrassing

[ShelC]

47-40, both teams pretty cold. Clingan's had some good moments, Camara's hitting some shots. Maluach got some minutes, hit a corner 3 and played OK overall. It's weird that for as quick as Green is, he seems to have trouble getting around his defender even when he has him beat. Or he has space for the jumper but keeps dribbling into traffic. He's gotta look for more quick offense.

"Saucey" doesn't need any help criticizing Dunn but he's just been brutal.
We know the offense is somewhat limited but I'm not really seeing a defensive impact either. I know we like to save our primary guys, in this case Jalen and Collin from having to deal with full court pressure every possession but Dunn bringing up the ball especially with Camara on him is not ideal

[Mori Chu]

Dunn 1-7 (0-4 from 3) at the half. Green also having another really rough shooting night, 2-9 (0-5 from 3). Coffey is giving some good minutes with 3-4 shooting. Williams and BOUYEA! also showed up. Nice to see Fleming get some minutes (11) in the 1st half; he had 3 points. Man Man also got out there and hit a 3.

Overall we are shooting 2-19 (11%) from 3 which will not get it done.

[bajanguy008]

Maluach did decent
Sheer also

Good minutes for Coffey especially as we don't have many other Scoring forwards. Already spoke about Dunn but Royce is just as rough a watch when he trying to dribble drive plus couple of his 3pt shots were awful decisions
Sigh

Glad to see Bouyea getting buckets again tho
