    Shams is reporting (yeah, I know) that Bradley Beal is having significant 'nerve issues' originating in his legs and radiating up into his back. I don't really know what it means but I'm thinking it doesn't sound good

    I know it's unlikely but it would be really nice to get a win here and there just to keep spirits high. Losing these many games ina row has to be mentally draining for these guys and make it more difficult to stay engaged.

    If Drew Eubanks busts out a 14/8/5blk with ease, while we're told how amazing Jabari is playing scoring 12 points off 15 shots at a 35% clip...... I might not give my cats their yummy treats after the game. Take a hike you little varmits !!

    help feed my cats, win this game, GO BLAZERS !!

    This is a huge game! Blazers need Brogdon playing, Can’t go down to 1-3 in the tournament.

    These tournament games presumably count in the season stats also right?
    Let’s see where the defensive rating is after this game. Points count in the tournament. Phoenix can use all the points they can get.
    My bet is that “way better defense” talking point takes a pretty serious hit tonight.

    I wish I could model these tournament courts into every day things like houses and cars and face tattoos. I just want more of it.

    There was so much space in that last Ayton drive. Vogel calls a timeout immediately because why the hell were the other 4 Suns players all guarding the perimeter?
