Game 1: Trail Blazers @ Suns, Wednesday, Oct 18th, 7PM PT

[Cutter]

JJ and Bender are going to be the defensive backbone of the team in the coming years. Bender looking good defensively tonight, keep it up. Not sure what Chriss' purpose on the team is though. He seems lost when on the floor.

It's time Bledsoe sits the rest of the game and for Booker to give us 71

[MrMiyagi]

Look, we've played badly so far, but it's ONE HALF of a basketball game. If we end up winning this game, y'all are going to have whiplash from your emotional roller-coasters.

[ATTL]

Guys, its OK. We're getting ayton/bagley in 9 months. This year is a 22-26 win year, next year is 30-35 wins, year after is 40ish. Then we get Steve Kerr and we take off

[grumpysaddle]

The offense is a total mess. They desperately need a coach that knows how to write decent plays. It seems like no shots are ever open. That weave **** at the top of the key just allows defenders to gather up and not allow spacing. It's bad.

[bwgood77]

Lol this will be a long season. My liver is gonna have to take one for the team.

Mine too...already is.

4 **** white jerseys under the basket and portland picks up 3 offensive rebounds.

We need dat sauce

You spelled Andre Drummond wrong.

[Book1Nation]

Hard to do anything when you’re getting consistently hammered and you can’t get a call to save your life.

Saying that, basically everyone on the team has been trash so maybe they don’t deserve any calls.

[WeekapaugGroove]

That was a really bad half and some **** effort and play. Shameful

I wonder if Watson has ever once raised his voice at the team? Dude seems like a doormat.

[Mulhollanddrive]

I barely see Booker get any catch and shoot 3s, Thompson gets 5-10 every game.

[Qwigglez]

It would make sense for us to lose by 50. I actually want Watson to just step down.

I've said this last season... Suns are very predictable to defend.

Unlike the Spurs or Warriors where someone opens up with a good look after a bunch of passes...

Suns take wild shots, shots the defense are happy to live with.

[NE1Care]

Ice cold shooting but why are basketball basics so lost on these guys? Shot selection, boxing out, running plays. I feel like we have been more than patient. Mine is wearing thin.

As long as Bender gets minutes. I want these passers like those guys to be out there as much as possible and heck, I like good spot up shooters like Daniels.

We just need to move the ball more, and they need to get TJ more involved.

[Kerrsed]

......and now the SUns finally come out! Well, 6 of them, LMAO

Blazers been on the court for a good 5+minutes warming up.

[Qwigglez]

Watson "Good effort guys, we are only down 25! Let's look at the positives and continue to build off that."

[KLEON]

When will Watson feel the pressure for outputting a horrific offensive system and a matador defensive scheme?

We need Mark Jackson

[MrMiyagi]

God this is going to be a long season. Not from watching the team, from reading these game threads. I might have to bow out of these like the Trades and Transactions thread.

[Qwigglez]

Bright side is the Heat lost so there's that.
