There’s no other way to put it: the Portland Trail Blazers got smoked on Sunday evening against the Oklahoma City Thunder. When your opponents shoot 61.1 percent from deep on 36 attempts bad things are likely to happen. The biggest bad thing that did happen was that the Blazers got destroyed, 134-91. Honestly that score flattered the Blazers a bit.
The aren’t a fully operational battle station at this point, but they have won three in a row including an impressive 133-115 victory over the Western Conference-leading (!) Minnesota Timberwolves. With a bunch of new faces and some injuries the Suns still have some things to figure out if they want to challenge for a title, but this is a good team with some momentum and they fully expect to easily dispose of the Blazers at home.
