Suns at 76ers 11-21-14

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play at the 76ers today with a 5 p.m. Arizona start time. I'm anxious to see Nerlens Noel play since the Suns drafted Alex Len instead. Per Paul Coro, in an azcentral article dated 11-21-14, the starting lineups are listed below plus he gives more insight about the game.

SUNS (7-5) at 76ERS (0-11) … 5 p.m. tip-off (Phoenix time)

C: Miles Plumlee … Henry Sims

PF: Markieff Morris … Nerlens Noel

SF: Marcus Morris … Luc Richard Mbah a Moute

SG: Goran Dragic … Hollis Thompson

PG: Eric Bledsoe … Michael Carter-Williams

Key Sixers reserves: Tony Wroten, Brandon Davies, K.J. McDaniels, Robert Covington, Drew Gordon.

Key Pistons injuries: Jerami Grant (ankle sprain), Joel Embiid (foot) and Jason Richardson (knee) are out.

Apparently the mother of KJ McDaniels has taken to Twitter complaining about the Sixers' strategy of tanking and making her son look like a loser. LOL

In this case, she is right. I wish the NBA would discourage tanking.

If the Sixers were not tanking McDaniels would probably be in the D-League... or Europe.

Eric Bledsoe predicts Kentucky could beat Philadelphia in a 7 game series.

[Sci Fi]

Just more evidence he shouldn't be the Suns PG.

I really the Sixers don't pick up their first win of the season against us.

This should be a 20+ pt blowout win for PHX with Zoran, Ennis, Warren, Goodwin and Len closing out the game for us in the entire 4th Qtr and maybe even some of the 3rd.

Man I hope the Suns win this game.
Suns 90
Sixers 82

Georgetown coach Chris Briggs agrees with Bledsoe even though Kentucky's own coach John Calipari doesn't feel the same way.

Um, what? LOL You're a funny guy.

I heard some fun remarks that the 76ers would swap rosters with Kentucky if given the option.

 

[Sci Fi]

Um, what? LOL You're a funny guy.

The Sixers would destroy Kentucky.

The Sixers will start Wroten and Carter-Williams together in the backcourt for the first time tonight in #SunsAtSixers.

 

[overseascardfan]

I don't know why PHI would be tanking, there is no sure fire superstar in next years draft. Emmanuel Mudiay would be the closest thing but PHI has a PG in Michael Carter Williams whom I think is pretty good, he just can't shoot which everyone knew prior to last year's draft.

I mean they have pieces (MCW, Noel, Embiid (next year), Wroten), its just Noel isn't as good as people thought he would be but this is his rookie year after being out last year. They should be better with Embiid next year if he can come back healthy and develop quickly.

Watch Noel have a career night, Markieff should have a good all around game as Noel is not an offensive threat and Morris has a strength advantage in the post.

Eric Bledsoe walks it back, says he was joking that Kentucky could beat Sixers

“I have a lot of respect for NBA players,” Bledsoe said after the Suns’ morning shootaround at the Wells Fargo Center Friday. “I was joking around. Obviously I went to Kentucky and then they played good

I don't know what's funnier his mother tweeting or his mother being a man.

What's with all the trash talk. First Kief now this. If you're gonna talk the talk...

Suns ain't walkin the walk.

No doubt

Irrelevant. Has nothing to do with whether he should be the PG.

Eric Bledsoe received extra hearty boos from the Phillly crowd upon his introduction for #SunsAtSixers.

 

[Ronin]

uh oh....Bledsoe vs Noel

Paul Coro ‏@paulcoro 39s40 seconds ago
Noel smacks Bledsoe in the face on the first #Suns possession. Bledsoe pops up and shoves him from behind. All of 29 seconds. #SunsAtSixers

 

[SirStefan32]

Hate to say it, but good for Bledsoe. Don't care how big you are, if you slap me in the face and throw me down, I'm coming at you!

 

[Ronin]

ugh getting killed in the paint. Sixers have shot a couple of airballs....but the sixers are johnny on the spot right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns interior defense is terrible.

 

[Ronin]

fouled a three point shooter...
