WTF with the refs

[Flagrant Fowl]

These officials are having a hard time with the rule book tonight.

[Wally_West]

Hahahahahaha oh these refs

[pickle]

It’s been two games, actually 1.5, but I think Booker is taking that next step. Mikal is clearly more aggressive which I love to see. Hope CP3 gets his legs under him but so far he hasn’t been hurting us. Just not another outlet for offense.

Lillard is so talented. But looking at it another way, the rest of the blazers just combined for what, 19 points in a half?

[Wally_West]

Id give my left nut to pair Lillard with Book, Mikal and Ayton.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Not really anything to gripe about from the Suns end. Everyone is playing smart plays and hustling.

Would be a much bigger lead without some rough officiating and a few misses on the Blazers hail marry shots.

Oh I don’t know, I can always find something to complain about. Okogie is a real non factor on offense. I like the pep in Payne’s step. Lee is a solid player but as everyone has already said, he can’t create and has to play off of someone else’s creation, but at least he’s a keeper. Our defensive rebounding has been a problem.

Booker is controlling the floor like we've never seen before. Like an SG version of CP3, even. Wow.

[Mori Chu]

Pretty good first half overall. Other than Dame catching fire, not much good happening for the Blazers. Ayton looks good; 15 points on 7-10 shooting already at the end of the half. I notice that Ayton doesn't seem to be bobbling passes as much lately; did he get hand transplants? Book also looks very strong with 15 points. Payne is playing pretty well in his minutes. I also like Landale; he is just fun to watch and makes heady plays and has good energy. CP3 still looks old and slow out there to me; still concerned. Craig looks like a shell of his former self; don't know what happened to the guy we found two years ago who made such a difference. Okogie also has not really impressed me so far. No minutes for Saric in the first half, hmm.

[Wally_West]

Dame is ridiculous, damn.

[pickle]

Ayton seems to be running the floor harder. Love to see that too. Cam J needs to be able to stay on the floor tho. Hope he’s alright.

Cam is about to check in after this timeout. He was waiting at the scorers table for like 2 minutes.

Ayton is leaving points off of the board with these quick soft shots.

[Wally_West]

Dumb foul by Ayton. That’s 4

[Flagrant Fowl]

Dumb foul by Ayton. That’s 4

Maybe he could get the opposing Center into foul trouble if he tried to attack them like they do to him.

[Wally_West]

A Book and Dame backcourt

One day

[Wally_West]

This Landale guy is pretty good

[pickle]

That was a terrible call on Landale but this Lee prayer call is a bit of a makeup.

[Wally_West]

DLee been passin up some nice shots. Shoot it bro

[AmareIsGod]

2 rebounds...?

[carey]

Maybe Jones was smart not to extend Cam. Dude gets banged up every game. The kid battles but he's thin.
