As great a game the Suns played on Wednesday, they played that badly on Thursday, taking a 129-109 beating from the Portland Trailblazers. The (for some reason) weary Suns hung in during the first half, trailing by 8 at the break, but fell apart in the third. Portland scored 35 points in the third and built the lead to 21, effectively ending the game. Brandon Roy, while he didn't score 52 like he typically does against the Suns, did contribute 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. He also proved yet again that any star player can pretty much have his way with the Suns. I would go over the list again but I really have to get to bed.
One good thing to come out of game may be Shaq's words for Robin Lopez. Sideshow Bob has contributed about three positive plays for the Suns this year and maybe Shaq will light a little fire under him. He ended the game 6 points and 3 rebounds, which is actually 5.9 points and 2.8 rebounds above his season average. So, good for him!
