Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

The Suns are off to their worst start in their 51 year franchise history. Friday night, another struggling team, the Orlando Magic come to town. One of these two teams will feel a little better about themselves after this game.

Go Suns!!!

Orlando has been struggling less than the Suns. They will be a tough opponent tonight, with an active and athletic pf and a big center and then some length with Isaac and Bamba.

I do want to see Booker go off against the Magic. I believe that his career high against them is a pedestrian 18 pts. Let's see him get 40 or 50 tonight, haha.

I also want to see Bridges get out of his little shooting slump and Ayton to wipe away the struggles that he had against the Clippers.

Ayton will be ready for the matchup against Bamba, but I hope he doesn't look past Vucevic. That guy is Orlando's best player.

Ayton will have his hands full with Vucevic tonight. I’m not sure who we’re supposed to stick on Gordon, either.

Keys to this game, as always, are to secure defensive rebounds and get to the line frequently.

Our imaginary PF, I suppose.

Gordon has been hurt, do we know if he’s playing? Isaac has started the last couple games.

His last couple games were good. Hit a few 3’s. Had a 5 block game the other day. He’s been pretty inconsistent

Isn't Warren tough to block?

Considering we started 96 off with 13 straight losses, that is a huge accomplishment for us to be worse this year...

By the way, at this point we were 6-15 that year after Cotton stepped down and Ainge took over on Game 9.

I’d guess warren doesn’t get blocked much, but most blocks don’t come from the primary defender. Also warren won’t be playing tonight it looks like

How are they a struggling team? They are much improved from last year and are the #8 seed.

They have lost four of five and will be playing the fifth game of a six-game road trip.
