I wanted to keep nurk
Jerami Grant: 25 minutes. 0 rebounds. The allergy continues.
Is there any kind of treatment for being allergic to rebounds? Jerami Grant needs a quadruple dose of it. Forever.
Hi guys, as always, best content by far 😀 I'm very hyped for the incoming season :)))))
was great watching nurk kick are butts… looks like a perfect fit for the suns
2:12 start
If I was Ayton I'd have the mindset to dunk on my opponent every possession…
Even if not possible it'll help his passing and touch shine when those opportunities present themselves.
Grant! Hahaha
Great stuff, I think a little premature about Ayton. Who knows what happened on that day with the interview, I think waaaay too early to look into signs, kind of like the number 7. I thought there were good moments on the offense, but yeah, needs to improve, I boil that more down to working together. Don't want to sound like an ass here, but, if you are wrong, will you guys admit it later on? I noticed when you are right you always say "remember when I said…" again, don't want to sound like an ass. Still love the show.
Great episode y'all. I'll try not to just go off in the comments this time. I am just very excited for this season and everyone I know doesn't care about basketball.
As a Suns fan, I hate to tell you this but all the complaints and concerns about DA are valid. He will have good plays or good games here and there but never will it be consistent. Here in Phx DA had and still has fans despite what he may lead people to believe and we just wanted him too apply himself more.
Shaedon Sharpe 4-14. 1-5 last game. 25% shooting this preseason so far.
What I’m worried about is that Ayton came in and the only thing I noticed him repeating is that he’s excited to show the young guys the ropes and teach them things so he’s expecting to lead when clearly he needs help himself… I think it’s going to be in one ear and out the other he doesn’t wanna hear his flaws he wants to teach that’s why he’s Probobly looking a bit frustrated he’s still being held accountable and it confuses him. “He thought he was that guy”😂😮💨
Scoot is going to be a hall of Famer. I am not a Blazer fan, but I see greatness out of the kid.
Coming from a suns fan who watched most of aytons games. What you saw yesterday is what who he is. That’s him in a nutshell. Have fun!
Starting lineup should be:
Pg Scoot
Sg Sharpe
Sf Grant
Pf Rob
C Ayton
Backups:
Pg Brogan
Sg Matisse
Sf Kris/ Toumani
Pf Jabari
C Moses
This lineup will beat anyone in the league once chemistry 1-2 years from now.
No one should be taking any minutes from superstars Scoot, Sharpe n Ayton. Those r your BIG 3
good show. i have complained when you are negative in the past, focusing on basketball rather than the front office is great! could have done without the comments at the end, it's over, let bygones be bygones.
honestly perfectly fine with Ayton being chippy with stupid-ass Jason Quick
Welp ! I tried to tell Sun’s fan about Ayton being entitled and now I’m telling you guys the same. You guys had Hassan Whiteside right? Ayton is the same only overpaid and as a number one pick. Don’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth, he’s delusional about how good he is.
Suns fan here, came by to checl out your tgoughts on DA. To me he got outperformed ny Nurk as usual. Nurk out bullied DA by means. Same ol DA lazy effort, some falshes but disappears in the game. Mediocre stats. Nurk big man that gives effort. DA boy tendency
I hope his attitude was merely that we were playing phoenix and it put him in a bad mood.
the blob zone defense is back! Wide open 3 pointers, no problem, just stuff the middle and pretend you're guarding someone.
hey… It worked against the New Zealand Breakers.
This is what Blazer fans wanted! Here is your rebuild. They will be the worst team in the west. Mostly because of coaching. 😂
This was the first time maybe ever or just in a long time that nurkic looked like he was in shape at the beginning of the season. I'm used to him about the 20-minute mark looking extraordinarily gassed.
Nice stream ! Very objective about Scoot, honestly i thought you gonna be a way more critical about him because of a Dame saga and Cronin choise, but i was wrong. I still can't understand one thing, i can see that Eric love Blazers with all his heart, no doubt about it. In the same he love players on the team so why does he hate front office because of a Dame trade ? Front office did a good job, a masterpice in my opinion, yes it was a harsh situation but Dame did dirt too. In my opinion, there was a choice that we are going to build team around Dame or we build team around Scoot and Ant. Front office choose youth core and it was great decision i think.
What to with Jerami ? His effort is getting similar with Reddish or he can't play power forward.
Hit the like y’all!
Gotta give it time…..preseason dont mean a whole lot and they all need to vet co.fortable with new lineups and people
At least they pushing the ball
Just game one vs the NBA. Its fine. However, I do want to see Grant at the SF and Ayton at PF with RW3 our C. This can increase rebounding and more paint options for Scoot/guards to drive and setup easy buckets. Grant can be on perimeter spacing and slashing to basket when opportunity arises. POR is in a weird spot bc they have to play Grant and Brogdan to showcase them and prove their current production level to maintain a high value on the trade market because it seems those 2 will have to be traded at some point to allow Sharpe and young forwards they have to grow. Right now they are taking mins those players could have and even though this is a development year and shouldnt be spent trying to make the playoffs they have to make the most of it bc they want Grant and Brogdan to still be coveted assets -which may or may not end up hurting their draft position at the end of the year. Go Blazers!
Welcome to the Deandre Ayton experience. All talk, no walk.
Lol, you guys are already talking about trading DA for an expiring contact after the 2nd preseason game😊
