Pacers at Suns 12-2-14

[Mainstreet]

The Pacers play at the Suns tonight with a 7 p.m. Arizona start time. I wonder if the Suns can repeat their winning performance of ten days ago. Here are the starting lineups per Paul Coro in an article at azcentral dated 12-2-14. Isaiah Thomas is questionable

PACERS (7-10) at SUNS (10-8) … 7 p.m. tip-off (Phoenix time)

C: Roy Hibbert … Miles Plumlee

PF: David West … Markieff Morris

SF: Solomon Hill … Marcus Morris

SG: Rodney Stuckey … Goran Dragic

PG: Donald Sloan … Eric Bledsoe

Key Pacers reserves: Chris Copeland, Luis Scola, C.J. Miles, C.J. Watson, Damjan Rudez, Lavoy Allen.

Key Pacers injuries: Paul George (right leg fracture) and George Hill (left knee bruise and torn quadriceps) are out. Roy Hibbert (ankle) is probable.

Key Suns injury: Isaiah Thomas (ankle) is questionable.

Still not sure how the brother beat Tucker out for the starting job

It didn't help that Tucker was suspended for the first three games of the season. Also there is the thought that Tucker plays better off the bench.

95pro, you get your answer. PJ Tucker will start tonight.

 

[95pro]

Hells yeah

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are off to a good start leading 15-8.

Len has become a non-factor of late on offense and defense.

What can I say, the Suns go in reverse fast.

 

[frankeegee1]

Maybe Len needs to get a taste of the D-League to get some focus. Randolph playing center might serve the Suns better.

We know that the Suns have a lot of work to do. Still, it's better to force the opponent into playing from behind rather than us.

I am surprised that Tucker went to the bench so quickly. That is about when the Pacers began their run.

And, oh, Plumlee can't even complete a stuff. We need a starting Center.

Some back and forth excitement there

The game is sliding away fast. Plumlee needs some stick-um on his hands.

 

[frankeegee1]

Still early.

Markieff playing center.

Nice play by Dragic.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Pacers bench is beating the Suns bench by a bunch.

 

[BC867]

Markieff playing center.

Now that Markieff is coming into his own at Power Forward, he's going to be spending a lot of time at Center.

You know what's coming. The Suns traditional kiss of death for a Power Forward.

Bledsoe seems to be a little off on the easy shots.

Dragic putting on a show.

Pacers 56, Suns 54 at halftime.

Dragic putting on a show.

We haven't seen this Dragic since last season. Now if we can just get Bledsoe to play well in the same game that Goran does it.

It's shocking how awful Bledsoe is in transition considering his speed. So many times he just ends up dribbling into the paint and the Suns never get a shot. Just highlights how poor his decision making is.

Yes. I'm waiting as well.

It's nice to see Goran go off in the first half.

So far, at least he is not turning the ball over.
