Game Day: Suns (2-5) @ Blazers (4-3), Tues 11/8/16

[EDC]

Bledsoe coming up big!

[O_Gardino]

Bledsoe with a three to bring us within 1 with 1.5 minutes left in the game.

Then Harkless with a putback. We don't have much rebounding out there, but I'm so thrilled to see Bender out there in crunch time.

[O_Gardino]

Bledsoe back at the line again. This is his best game of the season.

[O_Gardino]

BENDER WITH THE BLOCK ON LILLARD!

[O_Gardino]

LOL, Blazers commentators saying the Suns get away with a lot of grabbing and holding on defense.

[O_Gardino]

Lillard at the line with the Blazers up one. Crowd chanting MVP.

[O_Gardino]

Triano is up on the sideline talking to Watson.

[AmareIsGod]

This game is bad for my health when coupled with these election results.

[O_Gardino]

Portland with the offensive rebound on a missed FT. That's the game, folks.

[EDC]

Box out this time Tucker.

[carey]

We let them get that offensive rebound? Game.

[EDC]

Well it was a good try.

[UglyTruth]

Tucker just grab the rebound!!!!! Why tip it?

[EDC]

Didn't get to see the whole game but did switching in Chriss mess with TJ's spacing? Not as many shot attempts for him this game.

[AmareIsGod]

Are you NOT ENTERTAINED, .netters? Kept me on the edge of my seat!

[O_Gardino]

Booker with a 3 to keep us in it, but it won't be enough. He misses a deep deep 3 at the buzzer.

How do you guys feel about 20 minutes for Chriss and 23 for Bender?

Suns won every quarter except the first. That first 7 minutes was killer.

I thought it was the Blazers speed on defense. The starters had a tough time moving the ball around, so TJ just didn't get the touches.

[carey]

Good game. We shot 50% and lost. Played our 2 high draft picks decent minutes. Only played Knight 19 minutes which I guess I can live with.

[azsportsfan]

In the first quarter, they kept running McCollum off of rub screens with Plumlee, and Len wasn't showing at all. They tried that with Bender in the game and he showed well and McCollum was stifled. Anyone else notice that? McCollum's huge first quarter wasn't all on Booker or the guards in general. What was disappointing was that Plumlee is not an offensive threat. More should have been done on defense in the early game.

That's a good summation. Blazers kick ass in the first quarter, and hold on.
Bender's showing was good. I think he earns more floor time.
