Magic @ Suns 3-19-14

[Mainstreet]

The league's worst road team, the Magic, visit the Suns tonight with a 7 PM Arizona start time. Also Orlando is coming off a loss last night at Golden State. Obviously if the Suns want to make a move forward in the playoff race, they need to win tonight's game and Friday's home game against the Pistons before they go on the road again. See more in the Paul Coro article at azcentral dated 3-19-14.

Come on Suns beat the magic tonight hoping for a decent defense effort tonight. Be nice not to give up 30 pts to an opposing team in the first quarter for once heh. Big game must get on a win streak here for a playoff push run for the 8th seed or 7th would be nice. GO SUNS!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

I like your enthusiasm boldinfan18!

 

[SirStefan32]

Oh good, Dragic with a foul on the first defensive possession, Bledsoe with a turnover on the first offensive possession.

 

[Mainstreet]

Plumlee has live legs tonight. He would have more points if he could finish consistently.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len showing his potential tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm liking the substitution pattern tonight by Hornacek.

 

[ProdigalSun]

Nice to see both Archie and Len in there at the same time both doing some nice things as well

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are managing to hang in there. Sarcasm I think.

 

[AfroSuns]

yea, playing like this, the Suns don't deserve a playoff spot. They better come out at half time to PLAY

Dallas lost to Min in OT

Dallas lost to Min in OT

Good news in more than one way.

Lol how are we seriously in such a close game against the Magic who are the worst road team in the league and are tired from last night.

 

[ProdigalSun]

well this game got out of hand pretty quickly

 

[sunsfan88]

Finally.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd prefer Bledsoe not be in the game at this stage.

Cool video of Archie steal and dunk

Good aggressive basket by Len.

 

[Mainstreet]

Len with 9 points and 5 rebounds in 11 minutes. It has to be his best game of the season.

There is no such thing as steps in the NBA.

 

[AfroSuns]

Len with 9 points and 5 rebounds in 11 minutes. It has to be his best game of the season.

If healthy, he is going to take the starting position from Plum. he is just so long, just need some meat on those bones

Now the Suns need to add a quality PF.

Now the Suns need to add a quality PF.

I would trade all our picks to move up and grab Noah Vonleh

That's a lot to bet on one player. If the Suns keep their picks they could come out of the draft with three quality players.

Well I think against a guy like Dwayne Dedmon, Len ought to play like that otherwise he doesn't belong in the league.
