2nd night of a back-to-back, on the road and against a team that has won his last 2 games.

Ayton is averaging 20/12 in the last four games. It’s gonna be interesting to watch Nick Richards against him.

Injuries
Blazers
Jerami Grant OUT
Matisse Thybulle OUT.

Portland has actually been playing decent ball lately.

2 more "on paper easy games" before things start to get really tough most of the rest of the way. Gotta take care of business the next couple of nights.

Containing Ayton is gonna be tough, but we gotta figure out a way.

Who's gonna stop Ayton?

My prediction: Nobody

Jerami Grant is QUESTIONABLE now.

Blazers have a strong Defense. KD and Book will bring it but we'll really need a vintage Bradley Beal game today.

Suns look sloppy. Why is this a recurring theme?

Portland just beat the Bucks, they also beat Denver, Mavs, Houston and the Wolves twice, they may not be a playoff caliber team this season but they are very competitive

Portland is just outhustling us. Multipe times where Phoenix had 5 guys back and stil got outrun t the rim by a single Blazer player. KD can't be bothered to even matchup properly,and wrecklessly commits anover and back for absolutely no reason.

This team **** sucks. Getting embarassed by Portland. Portland is a bad offense and we are down 20 n pace t give up 130. Worst half of the season imo. Team of pussies

I cannot wait until KD is off this team

Our star player doesn't believe in having to be a leader, and half asses it bak in transition D and cmmits 3-5 cmpletely unnecessary wreckless turnovers a game like the over and back. What do you expect?

I don't watch many games anymore because they are just not a fun basketball team to watch but I put this on for 5 minutes and immediately turned it off , such garbage basketball.

AtheJ415 · Post #16 » by **AtheJ415** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 4:26 am

Just what this offense needs -- Nick Richards running hook shot over Ayton with 18 secnds on the clock

Better than this. That's what all of us should expect. Oh, and a half way intelligent owner and GM. I don't think any of that is too great an ask.

Lazy, unfoced, wreckless basketball

AtheJ415 · Post #19 » by **AtheJ415** » Sun Feb 2, 2025 4:29 am

This game is over. So obvious this team just doesn't give a **** about this game and that is inexcuable. What a big FU to the fans

Checked the box score. Lol. True contender.

Has this old lazy group won a b2b this season ? Bring 36yo JB to help with that.
