Game 5: Portland vs Detroit 4:00pm Root,Root+

[The Sebastian Express]

I'm telling you.

Shaedon is the future at the two. Second year, so young, so much less experience and you can just.. see it. He's got it. The ability to draw fouls alone.

Scoot was doing so great tonight too before he sprained his ankle. Hope he can play next game. You can see he has lots of it too. He just needs the game to slow down a bit and learn the tighter spaces in the pros.

Who doesn't **** love Toumani?

God damn.

Honestly, not playing Scoot in the 4th is a big reason for the win ankle injury or not.

[Moonbeam]

What a fun win! This team has a lot of likable players. I know I always say that, but it's true!

Shaedon and Toumani showed a ton of poise, and Brogdon brought the veteran leadership. It was a true team effort tonight.

[red_power]

Quite encouraiging win!

- Brilliant second half from Shae, can't say how inspiring it is to see this guy balling

- Camara is a real discovery. Not the most skilled player on the court or the flashiest athlete but he plays hard and smart. Hopefully he will eventually be able to develop some reliable offensive game.

- I really like to see this team playing some great stretches defensively! Something we didn't see Blazers doing for sooo long.

Aytons looked good the last 2 games ! Let’s keep it up!

Unless we are starting thybulle just to boost trade value for the deadline I'd start toumani there at sf. Yeah he may not have starter Stats and long term is probably a 7th man but we need that size I'm the front court. If it didn't work playing small ball sf with the superior Josh Hart why would we try to reinvent it with a much less talented thybulle at sf?

Shae is the future franchise player, it feels destined for him I just hope we can play him in position and find the right pieces to compliment him. Feels like we will have to decide between Ant and Shae or perish in our incompetence. The latter is more likely from Kolde and jody Inc.

What a win! Go Blazers!

At the airport and finished listening to the game on radio. Was following box score while I listened.

Shae was -21 at the half and finished the game +1. When he decided to assert himself and get aggressive the blazers became a better team. What a young stud.

Those of you who watched… how did our defense look? It sounded like they were hustling over the radio and that Shae and Camara were getting deflections left and right.

Also… Jerami Grant…

16 FGAs
1 Rebound
0 Assists
0 Blocks
1 Steal

Edit: He also had 4 Turnovers. He had twice as many turnovers as rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals combined. Let that sink in.

What in the actual ****

I actually thought grant played semi well today. But he's obviously not a 4 & those rebounds are indeed killer

[DaVoiceMaster]

Are William's and Ayton playing together at any point? Looking at the minutes, it appears they are on the court together for a few minutes. Are they effective?

[KdoubleDees23]

Y’all starting to like Ayton a little more ? Wait till he gets comfortable !

Pumped to see 16/11 and 5 steals

[GreenRiddler]

Sharpe man oh man it’s why I was sooooo excited when we drafted him cause I thought he’d be a legit #1 pick if he played that year at Kentucky what a steal could be like Giannis level steal as the real #1 from that draft.

When Ant come back him and Sharpe not starting is gonna be hard for Billups to explain to Sharpe they can easily both be 20ppg players this year together.

Ayton is so damn good inside the 3 point line he reminds me so much of LMA even how he moves I don’t know why we don’t force feed him, he could easily have gotten 25 pts this game. No one knows how to throw a post up pass on this team for some reason.

Scoot is great facilitator I can’t wait for things to click for him next year 7 asts in only 20 mins and looks comfortable without Malcolm. Still makes forced turnovers but that come with the territory. But my god he cannot force pull-up 3S just don’t do it.

Why are we starting Thybulle. Camara looks like a legit rotational wing Suns kicking themselves

It seemed like it. At least we rebounded

Thybulle was an absolute zero tonight on offense. I think that hurts the offense of the other starters. Notice how the teams offense improved when Thybulle was taken out. Thybulle may be helpful coming off the bench as a defensive specialist but as a starter on a team with perimeter scoring issues he is a liability.

Yeah that offense is killer. He isn't much more than a 12 mpg sort of player, probably would've been well served to let him just go to Dallas

Yes, they seem to play fine together so far. I would like to see more of it.

Yup as a Suns fan I wish we didn't have to give up Camara but our brain dead owner is all in on winning the championship with KD he has zero thought about keeping young talent that can help us in a couple years from now.

Ayton is crazy efficient but on nights he just isn't hitting his shots he really needs to try to draw some fouls because he tends to fall in love with the jumpers a little too much.

As a Suns fan. I am glad we gave up Camara! He would have not developed or had any experience as our team is 10 deep. I am glad that he is getting a chance and getting reps

[DusterBuster]

Camara is looking like an absolute steal in every way.

Still an Ayton believer and Sharpe is looking like he’s ready. No way he can go back to the bench. He should be the starting 2 guard.

Starting to get legit a bit worried about Simons durability and so far Scoots a bit too…

[Norm2953]

Detroit was missing Duren but the Detroit board has been moaning about passing on
Sharpe for Ivey.

Nice win for Portland for the team does have some talent. Team needs to develop their
young forwards but has 4 guards who can play and could surprise, hopefully when the
game begins to slow down for Scoot.
