Game Day: Magic (6-12) @ Suns (10-7), Sun 11/30/14

Post by Superbone »

Time: 6:00 pm AZ (5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET)
Place: US Airways Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

Just what the doctor ordered. However, after how the Suns played in Denver, they can't take anybody lightly. Channing Frye returns to Phoenix. I'm sure he will get a warm welcome from the team and the fans. The Suns have to win this game and Tuesday against the Pacers as we have a really tough stretch following that.

Go Suns!!!

Everybody raves about how much great youth the Magic have. But I don't really envy their roster. They can never seem to string together any wins, and they don't have enough shooting for my taste. And I don't know whether they have guys capable of elite-level defense, even though their bigs are great at rebounding. I think they may just have a bunch of young pieces and not necessarily have a roster that makes any sense together. They still seem years and years away from being relevant to me.

Hornacek needs to take some heat here as well - everyone's standing around like nobody knows where to go. It's all drive & kick and one-on-one. Absolutely no execution.

Even the broadcast crew finds the hair more interesting than the game.

Stagnant - that's the most polite way to describe the Suns' offense this year. And it's showing in spades tonight.....

I'd bench all the starters in the 3rd quarter if I were Hornacek and come out with the rookies. This team has shown jack shit to deserve play time.

I only watched the last 8mins of the 2nd but....Good god. They look horrible.

So...many....turnovers.

Might not be a bad idea other then Plumlee who has looked more active tonight.

Goran and Eric have 8 turns combined. Thats just not going to get it done

I mean did you think they would keep winning once Palmer went down? Stanton is a career journeyman for a reason

Suns don't have that excuse

There is definitely something off with this team. It's hard to imagine there isn't a trade coming up to shake things up and even out the roster.

Reminds me a bit of the yr we dealt Raja and Diaw for Jrich and Dudley. We didn't have a terrible record but we were struggling and not living up to expectations. People were screaming but it worked out to be a very good trade for us and Diaw and Bell didn't work out for Charlotte. I believe we made that trade in december and we didn't do much that yr but we made the WCF the following yr.
