Game Day: Nuggets (7-7) @ Suns (9-6), Wed 11/26/14

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

The Suns finally come home after the season-long road trip. Despite the Nuggets .500 record, they come in having won five in a row. IT3 (right ankle bruise) is questionable. There's a good chance Ennis will be activated for this game and if IT3 is out, he'll probably be part of the rotation. It should be an entertaining fast-tempo game. This is the first of a two game home and away series. The Suns will turn around and head out to Denver for a game on Friday.

Go Suns!!!

Bad time to catch the Nugs. They had a horrible start to the season but now they look much improved. I hope our guys aren't looking ahead to the holiday too much.

Jesus Christ, why is Plumlee still starting? No defense, can't box out, hands made of stone. Sick of watching this guy with the starting lineup.

Marcus playing great defense in this game.

Bledsoe looks engaged. Maybe he's broken out of his self-imposed funk.

Len's first basket: Pick-and-roll with Bledsoe, Amare/Nash style. Len nearly dunks it, gets the hoop and harm. FT made.

Len - 8 points in 3 minutes.

Why the hell is Plumlee starting again?

Next trip down the court: Len pick-and-roll with Gerald. Pump fakes the help defender and scores, gets fouled.

Ok, debate over - Len needs to start. Period, end of story.

I like Plumlee, but he's just getting abused anymore as a starter. I know that 8 point in 3 minutes is kind of an anomaly no matter who you talk about, but the moment Len came in, he shut down Denver's paint threat and made 'em scramble and then putting us ahead by abusing Mozgov the way Mozgov abused Plumlee.

Dragic needs to just demand the ball more when he's out there.
