Magic vs Suns SL Game Thread 7/9/18

[Mainstreet]

Okobo with the nice pass to Ayton for the outside basket.

 

[Phrazbit]

Lol, Ayton used one arm and sent Bamba about 5 feet out of the way before that put back dunk.

 

[Joe Mama]

well I guess that's one way to finally do some real rebounding. Just throw the other guy out of the way and hope the referees don't call it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton with 7 points and 5 rebounds thus far.

 

[Finito]

Jackson looking really good this game

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton chases down a guard to prevent layup.

 

[Finito]

Ayton with the run down not giving up that breakaway

He's been working Bamba physically on the interior. His post positioning has been solid.

Jackson looking really good this game

Less hero ball. Playing much more controlled.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bender with another 3 in flow of the game.

 

[Joe Mama]

he's a flamethrower! Where are you now Slin?

Bamba is so weak on the interior. That's the 3rd time in what little I've seen of him that he has gotten a board or a lob thrown into him and immediately had the ball ripped away.

 

[sunsfan88]

Ayton is very active tonight. He engaged every possession.

 

[Mainstreet]

Also Bender has 8 points, 4 rebounds and playing good defense.

 

[Finito]

Best game by far from Bender

 

[Phrazbit]

Is it just me or did like 5 "J---- Jackson"s enter the league in the last year?

 

[Phrazbit]

Best game by far from Bender

He did set the bar really low...

But yes, he's been playing very well. Even the 3 he passed up on for Bridges, I'm fine with it, the open corner 3 is a better look.

 

[SirStefan32]

I really wish Jackson and Reed would pass the ball once in a while.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 39 - Magic 24

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

What's really noticeable in person is the defensive intensity. Everyone is playing hard, and it feels like the players are pushing each other. Reed, Harrison, Jackson, and Bridges are particularly relentless.

And Igor is fun to watch coach. It's awesome how engaged he is and how much he communicates with the players. Maybe the most exciting thing about this team...you can tell they are impeccably coached.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm hoping Okobo gets it going in the 2nd half. He is scoreless but has 2 assists and 2 rebounds with 0 turnovers.

I agree about the defensive intensity. It shows even on television. Good to hear about Igor.

 

[Mainstreet]

In regular season the Magic can play a huge front-line in Isaac, Bamba and Gordon. They can play 3 seven footers if they want too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Harrison plays some nasty good defense.

 

[Phrazbit]

Great D by Okobo, Ayton and Jackson to force that clock violation.
