Game Day: Suns (22-48) @ Heat (34-36), Tues 3/21/17

Post by Superbone »

Time: 4:30 pm AZ (4:30 pm PT / 7:30 pm ET)
Place: AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

The Heat have no room for error and need this game even though Waiters is out. The young Suns are playing for experience.

The availability of three other Suns is uncertain. Starting shooting guard Devin Booker (ankle) missed the previous game. Backup guards Ronnie Price (lower-leg contusion) and Leandro Barbosa (illness) also missed the previous game.


Go Suns!!!

Wow, I didn't realize our guard rotation was so banged up. Will Knight make a rare appearance?

I thought we came out again and said he was done for the season (after we said that last time, but then asked him to play, which he declined).

I'm trying to imagine that conversation.

"Brandon, we want you to play tonight."

"Bleds is just as healthy as I am. How come you want me to play and not him?"

"Because we want to lose."

I wish this wasn't the case, but it's becoming comical, the mismanagement of the roster and individuals this year.

We should probably sign a backup point guard to a 10 day contract. There's gotta be someone out there who is somewhat interesting

We can't. We're maxed out on roster spots because they thought signing Ronnie Price was a good idea and the NBA won't grant us an injury exemption when we're resting 3 healthy players.

And does it really matter either way?

I don't see it that way at all. I think management is right to sit Chandler, Bledsoe, and Knight. We want a high draft pick. Why sabotage that?

No. I'd rather see Ulis play 48 minutes.

I'd like to be able to give ulis a little bit of a breather and I'm not sure playing Jones Jr. at point is the best solution. Why didn't we sign a pg instead of Jarrell Eddie to a 10 day? I guess it's not a big deal, and booker should be back shortly to take over the backup 1 minutes.

Booker is playing.

0-3 FG, 3 TO so far.

Ya'll need a chill a bit. We are riding this rollercoaster right to the bottom. There is no use sweating the minor stuff now.

I am at work, so I am not watching right now, but it looks like Marquese is off to a great start.

Missed the end of the first and beginning of the 2nd. No Williams so far?

Is that what Barbosa had? Hopefully it goes through all the guys over the next few weeks. :P

The Heat announcers are hilarious. 36 bench points to 6 bench points! The Heat bench is crushing the Suns bench! What he doesn't say is that they start McGrudder and Babbitt who both play less minutes than their replacements, James Johnson and Tyler Johnson.
Go Suns!

Booker has a beautiful shot and scores on some nice drives, but he really needs to become a more efficient player to step up to the next level and be a star. More rebounding, better defense, better passing, more efficient scoring. He's pretty much gotten a pass up to now because he's so young, but he'll need to start showing improvement in all those areas to be an All-Star caliber player.
