Suns @ Cavaliers Game Thread 11-27-12

[Mainstreet]

The Suns play the Cavaliers with a 5PM game time (Arizona Time). Kyrie Irving has a broken broken finger and is out so this is a chance for the Suns to get a win on the road. If not, when?

Below is a game link from Paul Coro at azcentral dated 11-27-12.

They are a bad team missing their best player. This is the kind of game we need to win if we really expect to win it all this season. Hopefully, Gortat can return to dominating.

Does anybody know if Cox cable is showing entire game?? I got on Cox guide the Baseball's Golden Age... 30 minutes after start of game.

The game starts in 25 minutes plus.

 

[Errntknght]

my guide shows baseballs golden age 5:30 - 7:30 but its followed by the Suns post game show so I'm going to record in case it turns out to be the Suns game.

I like Gortat's effort so far.

Gortat does a butt hook on Varejao.

O'Neal has been a pleasant surprise this season. I must admit I was a doubter.

Steve Albert completely missed a Suns block while he was reading a sponsor's promo in the middle of the play.

I know it's an obnoxious intrusion on a play-by-play announcer, but I'll betcha Al McCoy never missed calling a play because of it.

Eddie Johnson must have gotten the word from the Front Office to not call Steve out on his not calling, or mis-calling, plays. His silence was deafening!

He's missed a lot of things. He's had people involved in plays that were nowhere close to the action. He has a decent voice but he's no longer able to follow the action.

The Pargo brothers (Jeremy and Jannero) have always killed the Suns.

Okay, move Steve Albert to pre-game and Tom Leander to game action.

I'd be surprised if he survived for long at this. It's clear he just can't do it IMO.

The Cavaliers are just taking it to the Suns. Gortat does not intimidate anyone in the middle. I will not even mention Morris is missing in action.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gortat should have signed the Suns extension offer in October if he keeps playing like this.

 

[Phrazbit]

I've been in and our during this game and I must have seen Gortat's only 2 good plays (a spin move for a dunk and a nice hook shot), I was under the impression he was playing well.

Yuck.

On a related note, I cant believe no one has pried Verajo away from the Cavs. He is such an underrated player.

And I respectfully disagree about Steve Albert being worse than Leander. Albert does whiff some calls, but Leander was actively annoying. Some of his calls were so irritating that it would ruin the beautiful play I'd just witnessed.

What happened to Gary Bender? Get him out of retirement.

Wow Gortat is playing his way out of an extension

 

[Broseph]

This is awful, Cavaliers blow....and they are without Irving.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow Gortat is playing his way out of an extension

He is playing like a second round draft pick.

 

[SweetD]

Why is not O'Neil in? Nevermind

 

[Mainstreet]

Why is not O'Neil in?

You are psychic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Eddie, please do not talk about the Cavaliers running out of gas. It is a jinx.

 

[SweetD]

I still think Gortat will have some more good games. But with him talking about being the guy I might be willing to listen to good trade offers.

I never thought I would even think this, but might the Suns have been better off if they had kept Lopez and traded Gortat. Lopez signed a three year contract with the Hornets with the second and third years a team option.

Scola may take Morris starting job back.
