Magic @ Suns Monday game thread, November 18th, 2024

[Mainstreet]

The key to beating the Suns is pound the ball inside, then if they sag on defense, shoot the three.

Actually, the Suns interior defense is so bad, they don't even sag well.

Halftime:

Magic 64 - Suns 48

This game is over. We just can’t score.

 

[BirdGangThing]

aside from oso's confidence on offense arriving - not a good half of basketball

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book stinking it up again, huh? Disappointing.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And I knew dunn couldn’t keep up his torrid pace, but he’s dropped to 32.7% 3pt shooting really fast. Not a great sign.

It's the Suns defense and lack of size that has me concerned.

 

[Yuma]

The Suns lack of size is a GM problem. It's not like the players out don't have a history of injury.

Arguably we picked up two rookies with size. But yeah, free agents not exactly big. You can see these younger teams definitely going big!

At the beginning of the year, we would have cheered him shooting 32%. We were told he definitely could not shoot. Now his free throws.....

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench, aside from Okogie, has been sad.

I wonder what the Suns thought process was on signing Bol Bol. Other than stats, I don't get it.

Dunn couldn't make free throws in college either.

 

[Mainstreet]

Why not a flagrant on Bitadze?

 

[Mainstreet]

Oso shows Plumlee how to do it.

Lesson taken.

 

[BirdGangThing]

rookies doing work

 

[Mainstreet]

Allen is 2-5 from the free throw line.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogie has to take the three against Bitadze.

 

[Yuma]

He played a lot more with Vogel. I don't get why Bud is so anti Bol. When he does get in, Bud yanks him really fast.

Bol Bol really doesn't have a position as I see it.

 

[BirdGangThing]

oso on wagner - wagner actually missed a shot

I've liked what Monte Morris has shown. Tyus has finally started shooting so Monte is a luxury if Tyus keeps it up. It'll take more than one game to convince me Tyus has changed.

gonna have to switch his name to oh neale

It's today's NBA, position less basketball.

IIRC, Tyus is a good shooter. If the Suns get Gillespie back (and he makes the regular roster), I believe Monte has second round value.
