Suns @ Cavs 1-27-16

[FArting]

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

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

Projected starting lineups
C: Tyson Chandler … Tristan Thompson
PF: Alex Len … Kevin Love
SF: P.J. Tucker … LeBron James
SG: Devin Booker … J.R. Smith
PG: Archie Goodwin … Kyrie Irving
Key Cavaliers reserves: Timofey Mozgov Matthew Dellavedova, Iman Shumpert, Mo Williams, Richard Jefferson.

This is what I want to see out of this team.

Effort and execution for the full 48 minutes
Play hard whether we are winning or losing

Winning tonight probably isn't in the cards and it's probably not in our best long term interest either but oh my would I love to see us beat this Cavs team. Especially since the refs have already decided that only one team will be allowed to play physically tonight, and we aren't that team.

And yet he was All-NBA before he became James's teammate. Hmm.

Just talking about how he's acting in this game.

 

[Catlover]

Wow Chandler, really? Maybe someone moved the rim on him? He just missed everything on a free throw and it wasn't a close miss.

 

[Catlover]

That little man can shoot the ball. That's a quote about Booker from Cavs color analyst.

 

[Catlover]

Nice little pocket pass from Archie, setting up Len for the 4 footer.

Half time
Suns 50
Cavs 55

We're down 5 at the end of the half but we've played pretty well so far.

So, what the hell happened to Warren recently? He is not aggressive, he can't score to save his life... what happened?

 

[slinslin]

Hornacek killing his confidence maybe?

 

[SirStefan32]

It's crazy that a natural scorer can't score.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Suns hanging tough at the half down 5. I hope that wasnt a set play for Len to shoot last shot from the baseline 3? smh

Oh come on Eric - if that's a response to cheese's shut down you're clutching at straws; he's right, and there's rarely anything meaningful to be gained from point scoring.

I'd suggest love's a special case in Cleveland in that he's in a system that doesn't revolve around him. Made worse by the fact that he sounds like a marbury / knight sort of guy; great stats that don't translate into meaningful success.

I don't know if you ever proved that big shot Bob wasn't, but it would be interesting to hear your whether you had a numerical view on love - can a guy really have that great stats but not add value? It would apply more to his time in Minnesota of course..

Tucker just limped to the bench.

 

[Catlover]

If that was a blocking foul on Tucker (against Lebron) then I'm an arachnid. I am not an arachnid. Horrible call ref. Just horrible.

 

[Catlover]

Nine turnovers on us this quarter, a couple of them courtesy of the men in stripes. I wish I could say all of them but not even close.
