The Suns play at the 76ers tonight with a 5 p.m. Arizona start time.

Here are the projected starting lineups from Paul Coro at azcentral.

C: Tyson Chandler … Jahlil Okafor

PF: Alex Len … Nerlens Noel

SF: P.J. Tucker … Robert Covington

SG: Devin Booker … JaKarr Sampson

PG: Archie Goodwin … Ish Smith

Key 76ers reserves: T.J. McConnell, Isaiah Canaan, Nik Stauskas, Hollis Thompson, Richaun Holmes, Jerami Grant.

Key 76ers injuries: Isaiah Canaan (sore wrist) is questionable; Joel Embiid (right foot) is out.

I'm just looking to be entertained and watch the youngsters.

Not often that we are superior in 4 of the 5 starting matchups. Who knows, Archie might even compare well with Ish.

The 76ers have the Suns right where they want them.

P.J Tucker with the three to give the Suns a one point lead.

I think that is the second time that Archie has had layup blocked

I really enjoyed watching Archie Goodwin tonight who had 26 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. He also had 4 turnovers but he again brought the energy the Suns often lack. This is Archie's 3rd game of 20 or more in a row. He's a keeper even if the Suns have to create a new position for him.

I REALLY hope this isn't fools gold with Archie.

I'm not getting overly excited but Archie is showing he is an NBA player if he gets playing time. Archie plays at one speed... hard. However, I'm afraid Hornacek may soon start messing with the rotation and leave Archie floundering again. He needs to let the young players develop for the future. The Suns do not need to think about winning this late in the season.

Looks like Len bested Noel

Len played well tonight and regularly took the outside shot with comfort especially early in the game. Although Len may have had the better game Noel is steadily improving. He challenges any shot near the basket and is very active as well.

However, lets face it. The Suns got swept by the worst team in the NBA.

However, lets face it. The Suns right now ARE the worst team in the NBA.

FTFY.

Noel is clearly at his best playing center, Philadelphia has a mild dilemma there.

Clearly the Suns look like they are the worst team in the NBA. Too bad some other teams got a head start.

I'm not sure what the 76ers are going to do long term at center but they can always trade one if needed.

Contrary to popular belief BEFORE Hornacek was forced into playing Goodwin due to the injuries, Archie definitely has a future in this league. He's showed enough to prove that he's at worst, a rotation player on some team in this league.

But this cannot be. I was repeatedly told by messageboard heroes that Archie is awful and should never play.
