Game Day: Suns (42-33) @ Magic (39-35), Tues 3/31/26

Post by Superbone »

Time: 4:00 pm AZ (4:00 pm PT/7:00 pm ET)
Place: Kia Center, Orlando, FL
TV: AZ Family 3TV/NBALP

Suns continue their roadie with a back-to-back visit to Orlando. Orlando is coming off a humiliating loss where they gave up 31 consecutive points. Luckily the Suns were able to rest most of the starters last night in Memphis for the whole 4th quarter. Plus, the Suns are getting some reinforcement in the return of one Dillon Brooks from a broken hand.

I predict Dillon Brooks shoots 2-21 tonight. But somehow he will still have a net positive effect on the team. Welcome back, Villain!

It was his non shooting hand that was broken, so his shooting should be his most kept skill haha

Could be a trap game. Magic haven't been playing well but still have talent and some bigger players who can give us problems.

I'm just hoping he doesn't get a technical. ;)

There are no traps from here on out. The Suns know their length gives us fits. We will be ready. If we lose, we lose, but not because of some dang trap. Suns' Coach Ott will have his team prepared.

Agreed that it's not a trap. The Magic are a play-in team that is very close to moving all the way up to the 5th seed. I don't think they will, but they have to believe that they can. They need this win an we know they are going to give us everything they can.

I do think we match up well against them. Suns by 6.

Who goes to the Bench? I think it will be CG, but I would rather it be Royce. I think we need CG's IQ in the starting lineup. Book / Green / Brooks is going to be too much hero ball if we don't have a floor general out there with them.
in Ott we trust

Magic may treat this game as a must win. Prepare for a battle!

The Magic might have quit on their coach…can’t count on that and you gotta treat it like they will go all out, but they are in a bad place right now.

They have a couple of starters out injured, too. We just can't take them for granted. The rest of the guys should want to prove themselves.

Teams have zero respect for Oso in the paint defensively. Zero.

Knew the Magic would come out with a lot of effort and pride after getting embarrassed against the Raptors.

Refs already losing control of the game with questionable foul calls and non-calls.
