Lack of size and center play is dooming this teams that’s been the story all season tho. Either Beal, Grayson or Tyus need to be upgraded to a wing. Either a true starting center or at least a better center than Plumlee.

Down double digits to the blazers? I feel like I often pick good games to skip

Ayton’s playing harder than anyone on our team tonight.

A couple of lateral moves aren't going to help this team.

That stingy Suns defense has forced 3 turnovers through 3 quarters.

Portland with three turnovers after three quarters says all you need to know about the Suns’ defense and work rate.

Five of the compartments are breached, there aren't enough lifeboats, and no rescue is coming. Coming up with plans for how to rearrange the deck chairs isn't going to help, but it won't hurt. If it distracts you from what's happening, go for it. Post all the absurd hypothetical trades you want.

This team sucks and has no heart or soul. Simple as that.

The entire organization should be embarrassed by the shitty effort tonight.

I don't think we'll lose this one but it'll be absolutely hilarious if we do.

Should be a blowout soooooo Suns by 5.
So hilarious.

Heh, didn't notice that. Three of our past "non-S" predictors sat out this round:
Cap
Wally West
Ring_Wanted

Mori was the only non-S member to make a valid prediction this game.

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.
