Game Day: Blazers (27-30) @ Suns (33-24), Sun 2/22/26

[Superbone]

Yeah, Dunn is not making my jersey look good so far tonight. Come on, man. Wake up!

$105M for the next 3 years of Jalen Green? No thanks.

[Mori Chu]

My hot take is that I think some of these injuries may actually help us because we weren't giving any minutes to our rookies and youngs, and this forces Coach Ott to do it. We really need to let the rooks get some run and see if they can play and grow. We were reluctant to do that because we were chasing playoff seeding, but with so many guys out, we just have to put them out there. I know Maluach is the most high-profile rookie, but I especially want to see Fleming get more minutes and I think he's the most playable of the rooks in terms of basically not making huge mistakes or hurting us while he's out there.

I agree that he's looked very rough, but I think that's premature. He's still getting in rhythm and back in game shape. Let's give him a few more games.

[The Bobster]

The whole team's offense has looked pretty rough lately.

[TOO]

To be fair, Green has nobody out there to help him, now his lack of 3 is sucking a fat butt, but I gotta see him more than 5 games.

Can't make a 3, can't pressure the rim, it's bad.

Blazers are treating him like he's JAG and I think he's created one good shot for himself.

[AmareIsGod]

Barf. Since 2 games prior to the all-star break.

[djy2j]

Shorthanded. Second night back to back. I get it.

But 77 points?

Unacceptable.

[specialsauce]

What has Ryan Bunnz accomplished to warrant 30 minutes? I don't care if the whole team is out, they are better off forfeiting

[specialsauce]

A nice fat -18. Really accomplished a lot.

[The Bobster]

three straight games of shooting 37% or worse.

Only thing preventing a 4-game losing streak was Green's buzzer-beater against the Magic.

[LazarusLong]

Thought the Suns might score more than 77, but this was no big surprise.
You don't lose 55-60 points of offense and expect to win many games.
O'Neale and Dunn going a collective 1-14 is disappointing, though... 0-8 from the arc.

[The Bobster]

O'Neale continues to be hot or cold.

Dunn hasn't shown himself to be a rotation player for a good team.

Allen has been a china doll this year, playing in only 26 of 58 games. Booker has missed 14 games. Green has missed 48. Brooks has missed 8 and who knows when he'll be back. And we were worried about Williams being the fragile one?
