Magic @ Suns Monday game thread, November 18th, 2024

[Mainstreet]

The Suns return home for a six game home stand.

Maybe this is some compensation for having to play the Magic on Monday. This will be the second of back-to-back games for the Suns after playing at the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Phoenix moves to 9-5 after a disheartening loss to Minnesota.

When: Monday, November 18, 2024

Television: Suns Live, Arizona's Family 3TV / Arizona's Family Sports

Radio: KMVP 98.7 / S: KSUN

So we play a b2b tomorrow but have six days off next week? Make it make sense.

Beal and Durant can use the time to regroup with the Suns.

 

[BirdGangThing]

start the young guns - quicker rotations - don't leave booker in the entire first quarter - dude dropped 40+ just last night so I don't want to hear about his jump shot being flat tonight

magic have a winning record - granted it's an eastern winning record but we need this freakin game tonight - hoping it's a good game

 

[Superbone]

We need this one badly. The Suns have won the last 5 home games against the Magic.

 

[Covert Rain]

Is Beal out? I have been watching the last couple games on DVR because I had so much going on at work and outside of it. Hopefully, I will be watching this one live tonight.

With Jusuf Nurkic out of the matchup vs the Magic tonight, it's worth pointing out that Iso Ighodaro was a team high +8 last night vs the Timberwolves, and his mix of cutting to the basket offensively and hops on both ends were a big plus out there - this is a chance to impress

I was worried I'd missed the start and wasn't clock watching. This will be a big test for Dunn. Franz is a handful and coming off the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award. It'll be interesting to see that matchup

I'm not expecting a win. The Magic have too much size. Paolo, Suggs, and Wagner is really nice core.

oso and dunn both starting - i looooove this!

 

[Hoop Head]

Sophie is on a different planet right now. My lord. Can we just get a stream of her watching the game?

 

[BirdGangThing]

now just don't leave book in the entire first quarter

 

[BirdGangThing]

if bud wants 3s it'll have to come from book - tyus and dunn

 

[Mainstreet]

The Magic are 8-6 for the season, so expect a difficult game, not to mention the Suns are starting two rookies.

Tip-off.

They're 5-4 without Paolo. They went 3-2 before his injury. He's not expected back before the end of November.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns fall quickly behind at 7-0.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

A bit of a discombobulated start for the Suns.

The Magic have a lot of talent even without him.
