Another double double for Gortat. Man is a beast.

I guess the Suns can look forward to playing the Heat. Much sarcasm.

Suns problems is lack of perimeter shooting. We knew this team would have issues with scoring so this is no surprise.

Beasley is the only person on this team who could get hot and score 12 straight points when you need it.

Def didnt think I would see the magic without their 2 best ball handlers drop close to 40 in one qtr

Beasley has 20 on 15 shots and it is obvious that he is the most talented scorer on the team.

Beasley averaged 19+ on 45%FG at 17fga for a season that is more than Dragic has done.

When Gentry subbed Tucker in for Beasley, the Magic outscored the Suns by 14.

This is one game, Beasley's entire career points out to him being a volume shooter, not a volume scorer. Including his 19 ppg season on a horrible 17 shots that resulted into him being relegated to the bench the following year.

I want to see a line-up of Dragic, Brown, Beasley, Scola, and Gortat. That's our best 5.

The Suns just quit playing defense which is unforgivable to me if they want to compete.

When the Suns were up by 14 in the third quarter, I thought maybe tonight Marshall will finally get some minutes. I was right. Marshall enters the game with the Suns down by 16.

Suns outscored by 35 points in less than two quarters of play. There won't be any easier opponents than Orlando.

Among many causes of this loss, I got to include abnormal shooting by Orlando. They were just nailing 3's. Shot 9 for 11. Thats amazing.

Its gunna be a loooooooong year. This team is going to struggle offensively on most nights, when they are that lax defensively there will be some brutal games.

Let's all look at one game's plus-minus and create opinions!!!

They were easy until the 3rd when they made virtually every shot. Whatever, Suns will lose games like this again this year. :)

79 to go!!!

Gentry may be a worse HC than Mike Brown.

Gentry did not call single timeout to stop Orlando's momentum when they were scoring lights out. Unbelievable.

He is immeasurably better than Mike Brown. You take a bunch of guys who were role players on lotto teams and throw them together giving them bigger roles here and you expect them to instantly be a quality team. Its absurd. If this team wins 35 games Gentry is among the best coaches in basketball.

Hopefully we get to see some definite/consistet lineups within these next five games.

Gentry is doing what he has done for years during the early part of the season, mixing a lot of different players in and out and giving guys time on the floor together to see what works. He is a good coach, to have gotten the level of play he has from our horrible depth the last few years is a huge achievement. The difference this year is he has one of the least talented teams in the league and a lot of parts that dont fit well together.

yeah man i hear, thats why i'm saying i within the next five games we'll have a better idea of who should be out there with who.

i agree that he's been a good coach with whats been dealt to him, especially the past two years.
