Suns @ Magic Friday game thread 11-11-2022

[Phrazbit]

Na he don’t get the attempts. We don’t run that kind of offense

He doesn't right now, that is for sure, but if his teammates saw him throwing down more slams and aggressively moving to the rim like he has, I suspect they'd look to feed him more.

 

[Phrazbit]

Okogi is brutal.

Na. We’ve seen him drop 15 points in a first quarter then never get another touch.

It’s just not how we play.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker gets to the basket for the layup. This may help get him in rhythm.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okogi is brutal.

Maybe worse than Payton.

 

[Finito]

I hate the lag on the Bally app

 

[Phrazbit]

Maybe worse than Payton.

He's pesky on defense, Payton was lost on that end, but they're similarly horrible shooters and decision makers.

Just peeked at Payton's stats last year... dude shot 37% from the free throw line... good lord.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need another shooter so bad.

 

[Phrazbit]

I hate the lag on the Bally app

Seems like its almost 2 minutes behind the live action.

 

[Phrazbit]

Great passing by Bridges and Saric there.

Maybe Okogie can get his shooting from the field over .333 this season.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns finally take the lead on a 3-pointer by Lee.

 

[Finito]

Horrible shot by Payne

 

[Mainstreet]

Other than Ayton, the Suns can't score inside. They are 16-40 from the field.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges outside shot has an elongated motion tonight. It's not smooth.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges hits a three at the buzzer.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Magic 58 - Suns 52

 

[Chaplin]

Kind of a weird game

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have only 10 points from their bench, Lee 6 and Landale 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some halftime stats.

[Mainstreet]

Payne hits a three to pull the Suns within 5.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are reluctant to take the ball inside for fear of getting it blocked.

 

[Mainstreet]

When an opponent stops the drive and forces the Suns to shoot outside they are very vulnerable.

 

[Mainstreet]

Biz comes into the game and joins Landale.

 

[Mainstreet]

Also Duane Washinton Jr. comes into the game.
