Suns at Magic Game Thread

[Ciani]

Diaw made a tough layup over Howard (I was convinced he'd pass out) and is playing much better D than Amare.

Hill's shooting is below average, he should attack the freaking rim and forget the jumper.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

Suns can get what they what on offense. And they're playing engergizing D. I hope Boris takes it at Howard. I know he's a good defender by Boris should be able to outsmart him with his post up moves.

Suns looks sharp tonight.

3 charges taken so far. suns actually getting rebounds too

Why does diaw only play well when a starter is on the injured list?

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

4 offensive fouls on orlando!

 

[dodie53]

They freakin booed Hill! Not classy.

why would orlando fans do that?
tsk tsk.

 

[dodie53]

so far this pirated games show me that other teams announcers suck... What is Amare's problem and why does Grant Hill suck so bad.

i thought i heard the announcers say 'ugly looking shot' when Banks shot the ball.

 

[dodie53]

whew.
another close call for Hill.

Was impressed with Skinner's play...he played good defensively so despite what I said before, if any of you ready my post, I'd like D'Antoni to put out a line-up with Amare and Skinner together. Amare needs another big man to play with him to keep him out of foul trouble and if Skinner plays like this, it would really improve the team play.

 

[BuddyFranklin]

I really really like that were actually swinging the ball around and dumping it down to Stat.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

up by 15 after 1st quarter

They said that. Actually they were right

Good decision by Coach D to bring back Amare against Foyle.

Yeah I really like Skinners game, he is exacly what the Suns needed. But Why are Orlando booing Hill, it's nit like he pulled a Joe Johnson, I do not get it.

I was just able to turn on the game glad the suns are winning so far man that was a power dunk by howard their he is a great player. Also how are hill and amare playing so far thanks

 

[BuddyFranklin]

Grant Hill is playing very well. hitting the 3 taking guys off the dribble. He hit a beautiful turn around jumper before. Stat is playing well considering he has 2 fls.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

Offensive fouls are killing orlando

 

[mjb21aztd]

nice glad to see hill and stat are playing pretty good that was a nice jumpshot by amare their also

 

[carey]

Hill to many threes.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

I think we need to accept he wont be a 3point shooter.

Rashard earning his paycheck, 12% FG so far

Hill made two treys but shot an airball and other really poor shots, while his D isnt really great, he is playing average at best, definitely not well.

Barbosa is great, 5/7 behind the arc.

 

[YouJustGotSUNSD]

59suns 43magic halftime

barbosa 5/7 from 3pt I think

Lets hope we dont tank the 3rd quarter

 

[dodie53]

16 point lead..

LB shooting better.

not bad.

I believe Hill told a Florida newspaper that he wanted to come back to the Magic but signed with the Suns despite the Magic offering him more money. I can certainly see where they are coming from. It's not like he said he wanted to be there but went somewhere else for more money. He said he wanted to be there and went somewhere else for less. He lied to them.

 

[dodie53]

diaw is playing good defense..

 

[Ronin]

Suns are only being out rebounded by 1.

 

[NastyOne]

Man i would kill to have a high percentage three point shooter at SF. If lets say Mike Miller or even Hedo Turkoglu played SF on this team we'd be unstoppable with the amount of wide open looks the SG/SF in this system gets.

Hill has to stop chucking 3's and accept the fact that he will never be a good three point shooter. All he has to do is catch and drive or drive and pullup for a mid range jumper. There is really no need for him to be launching 3's everytime hes open behind the arc.

But i cant even blame Hill cause i know for sure that D'Antoni is the one thats telling him to keep chucking three's up.
