Suns @ Magic Wednesday game thread 12-4-19

[Mainstreet]

Glad to see Kaminsky have a good game. Hopefully Monty lights a fire under them now. If the Suns are getting good frontcourt production then they have no reason to be trailing. It's their frontcourt that has been an issue as of late.

Teams dominate the Suns inside while they shoot outside shots in return. Kaminsky has scored well inside being an exception.

Booker, Oubre, Saric, and Rubio are 0/11 from behind the three-point line.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Every team in the league doubles and triples Booker every time he touches the ball. He’s gotta make them pay or he’s gonna see that all year.

He's seen that his entire pro career (well, since his rookie season anyway). It's also up to his teammates to make them pay, they have to start taking and hitting those open shots.

 

[SirStefan32]

Booker hits a three!

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker with the 3 pointer. He heard us.

 

[Hoop Head]

I wonder what it would take to get the Magic to part with Gordon. Tyler Johnson, 2020 1st, and Bridges? I don't want to trade Bridges but Gordon would fill a big hole.

 

[SirStefan32]

Gordon is killing them.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Gordon is killing them.

Yeah we really don't have anyone that can match up with his length and athleticism except possibly Diallo. But Orlando is moving better out there than we are - they are quicker to spots, quicker to loose balls and quicker off their feet.

 

[Mainstreet]

Magic move the ball well for the open shot.

I wish the Suns could run their offense like this as they did early this season.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Man I wish we could play a lick of defense. It's embarrassing.

 

[SirStefan32]

Oubre hits a three finally.

 

[SirStefan32]

And Dario hits one.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Come on refs, Gordon even raised his hand after shoving Booker in the back on that layup and they still won't make the freaking call.

 

[Mainstreet]

Man I wish we could play a lick of defense. It's embarrassing.

+1

 

[SirStefan32]

Let's get this down to single digits!

 

[Mainstreet]

Jerome is back in the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty wins the challenge. No foul on Booker.

 

[SirStefan32]

Stop fouling the three-point shooters, dammit!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges fouls the 3 point shooter. Ouch.

 

[SirStefan32]

This is downright embarrassing.

 

[WildBB]

Didn't need unwatchable BBall after the week Cardinals had!

Maybe there's a good college game on.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Magic 103 - Suns 86

 

[Mainstreet]

This is downright embarrassing.

Suns have a phantom defense.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Suns have a phantom defense.

We often play a step slow on the trail end of a back to back, maybe we're just trying to get ahead of the game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to play defense instead of putting more shooters on the court.
