Suns @ Magic Sunday game thread 1-28-2024

[Chaplin]

Death lineup out there now, but won't be enough.

 

[Proximo]

All an opponent has to do to beat the Suns is attack the paint.

Yeah pretty much, and double Booker.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Magic bench had 36 points. Suns bench has 14.

 

[Hoop Head]

All an opponent has to do to beat the Suns is attack the paint.

It's not even that. Just keep the game within a dozen points headed to the 4th and watch the Suns choke. We've seen teams attack the paint, shoot 3's, a combination of that. The key is they can coast until the 4th when we crumble.

 

[Mainstreet]

And pressure the ball...

Suns without enough bigs and a backup point guard.

 

[Phrazbit]

2 straight 4th quarter meltdowns.

Was hoping we were beyond this crap.

 

[Hoop Head]

Haven't made a FG in over 7 minutes.

The Suns starters wear down in the 4th quarter and the bench doesn't do anything to help the situation.

It's predictable.

 

[Hoop Head]

Lol sure, lets challenge that. Why didn't the players challenge any shots physically this quarter?

 

[Phrazbit]

KD having a Christmas game.

 

[nashman]

Vogel sucks I’ve seen enough… clueless has no clue how to stop the bleeding or seemingly even a game plan?

 

[Peter Sheldon]

No d
no rebounding
no motion on offense
no steals
incapable of punishing a double team
incapable of safe passing without to
worse 3 team in league hitting all 3s in 4th again

what else?

 

[Mainstreet]

Frank sucks this is the poo you come up with in the TO? Calling TO doesn’t help if your not drawing up ways to score Thai team should NEVER be going 5+ minutes without a FG what the actual fudge does Vogel do? Hate him more by the day we can’t just depend on someone to go crazy on offense to win games that’s so freaking stupid short sighted nonsense!

I'm not a fan of Frank Vogel but I blame James Jones more because of the Suns wretched bench.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

And the Suns quit….. Geezus, what a crap show.

 

[Hoop Head]

This is the same offense from the last couple of seasons. I'm not sure what Kevin Young did to get his paycheck this summer but he hasn't earned it. Not enough 3's, no off ball movement, horrible hero ball.

 

[nashman]

We need to make moves can’t be this bad against any team with length! Vogel sucks he can’t be gone soon enough but we need some defenders!

 

[Peter Sheldon]

Wow, I thought after Dallas win, this team figured stuff out.
Fools gold

 

[Hoop Head]

I'm not a fan of Frank Vogel but I blame James Jones more because of the Suns wretched bench.

JJ is #1, I may move Kevin Young to #2 soon, Vogel #3. That's the order they should be shown the door.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have 21 turnovers.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Hope suns turn around very disapointed wtfff

Lose to the freakin magic ehhhhh on championship vibes this yr to many what ifs

 

[Mainstreet]

Just a pathetic showing outside of Book looked like no one even wanted to be playing today! Thinking these guys are mostly tuning Vogel out now with his rahrah BS!

Durant did seem disinterested to me.

No offensive sets with movements, when defense gets tight and shooters get tired, this is the 4th qrt results we get. Only exception is, when other teams led too much early and tend to let down a bit and our players felt urgency to come from behind.
Also, Booker scoring big early often makes others on the team cold. When coverage in the 4th is tighter and his shots are off, KD is not always there to do heroics with so little time left.
