2024-2025 Regular Season Game 26: Phoenix Suns (12-10) at Orlando Magic (16-9) - 6:30pm

[SOUL]

The Magic need to use this time (the next month) to break their addiction to bricking 3’s
Last game they set the record for missed 3’s in a quarter. 0-13 (2nd quarter, not even the 4th quarter)
And now they are going to be increasingly desperate and deferential unless they are coached properly.

Hate to break it to you, but both the players they lost to injury account for most of the drives on this team. Hoping for inside play from a bunch of guys who are not good for it isn't really a feasible option. As bad as we are at hitting threes, it's also where most of them are more comfortable.

Nuggets lost to the Wizards because they only hit five threes.

You have to hit threes in today's NBA.

I'm gonna stay up late to watch this one. It's fascinating in a kind of gruesome Monty Python's Black Knight kind of way. "Come back. It's just a scratch!"

Look, one of the big excuses/defenses given by people who are happy we haven't consolidated at all is that we have some of the best depth in the league. Well now we need to see it. I know they weren't thinking of situations where we're missing both Paolo and Franz, but we should really perform better than lots of teams who lose their top 2.

I really hope we can. Paolo will be back soon, so we just need to not crater completely. I think we can stay afloat. This game will tell us a fair bit - not an easy opponent.

[Bensational]

I’m really intrigued to see who the next man up will be.

Does Suggs explode? Does Cole have a rebirth? Does Moe become the next 30ppg Wagner? Does Jett get a chance to be a lightning rod scorer?

I'll try to watch the first half but I won't put any expectations on it.

[RookieStar]

This will be as fascinating as a car accident. Will watch this for sure.

[ORLMagicGirl15]

Cannot watch the game, God willing, will watch the replay. I just want all of them to step up and not rely on one player. Everyone has to band together and play better. Oh yeah…hit your 3s and play defense.

GRIT AND SINGLES

[Residual-Heat]

will they score over 80 points?

[SOUL]

Isaac out too.

They probably score more than people think and then also don't play as much defense.

[DiplomaticMagic]

This will be a good time for Cole Anthony to boost trade value.

Also Elfrid Payton is available....

[ogmagicfan]

Given outlook of Suns we probably should attack from paint as much as we can and put pressure on rim.

This is the key to the game.

The only one that i could see attacking is AB.. the other guys will probably just engage in a shootout woth the Suns

[RookieStar]

Also whatever happens. We need a another elephant thread. This time about OBLIQUES. I mean.. wtf man??? Same uncommon injury to a franchise star forwards??

[eyriq]

Starting TDS? Suggs is the ONLY playmaker in the lineup.

[MagicTownBaller]

We are either about to see Suggs turn into Westbrook or see us failing to score 70.

[RichCollab]

I was certain we would start Moe for offense! Guess we will see how things go.

[CalOrl11]

I'm curious to see how this goes. I'm feeling a TDS 20+ point game

[thelead]

I'm now worried about Suggs getting injured by trying to do everything...
