The Portland Trail Blazers held shootaround Wednesday morning in Phoenix in preparation for their regular season opener versus the Suns at Talking Stick Resort Arena (tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m. on NBCSNW and 620 AM). Some notes from shootaround…
• When facing the Phoenix Suns, the first issue a team has to address is dealing with their starting backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Devin Booker. The duo averaged over 43 points per game last season, making them a difficult matchup for any team playing at full strength.
“They’re very dynamic,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts.
