Game Thread: Phoenix Suns vs Orlando Magic Friday March 4th....

Should be an easy win. Hopefully our kids get all the run they can handle. Interested in seeing Booker, Len, and Goodwin on the PHX side.

Now the real dilemma...who to target for my Fanduel lineup? Len is cheap...AG's price has been going up...decisions, decisions...

I'm also betting Evan comes back because he hates to see Mario shine, I am curious as to why he doesn't like mario. (Speculation ofcourse, he[Evan] literally always ignores Mario on the floor).

I don't think Evan hates Mario or anything like that, he's always there for him with an advice on the court. And in all his interviews, he speaks highly of Mario.

The problem is that Evan is playing for the new contract more than for this team. That's why he passes to Vuc most of the time cause he knows he'll most likely get an assist. But that approach is hurting us and as we've seen, the ball movement is far better with Hezonja instead of him in the starting lineup.

.@OrlandoMagic coach Scott Skiles said that G @EvanFourmizz went through shootaround today and is "probable" to play tonight vs. @Suns

that means hes right back into the starting lineup, no easing him back in off the bench

Well it was fun watching the guys be unselfish for a couple games. Back to reality.

Maybe they wont throw Evan back in there right away.. Especially with how well Mario played last game. The good news is atleast we are full strength again.

I would like to see same starting lineup again, happy however cause no more 3 pg lineups, ugh that was hard to watch

First I would like to say thanks to Nemesis for getting this thread up at a reasonable time before tip-off. Would like to see us rest Evan for this game and bring him back for the road trip but if he is healthy, then so be it. Want us to be aggressive from the opening tip and pounce on this team. Share the ball, control pace and defend at a high level against Phoenix and it will be an absolute blowout.

GO MAGIC!!!

I hope we go with a Elf/Vic/Mario/AG/Vuc starting line-up. Evan can take all of CJ and Marble's minutes.

This EP/Evan/Mario/AG/Vuc lineup has potential to be very dynamic granted we commit to sharing the basketball on offense. Can't cheat off of Evan or Mario but hopefully the Suns do that so we can rain 3s all over them.

I did not miss Evan at all. Although the Jennings/Watson lineup was kind of brutal.

Aaaaand we're going to see it once again. Jennings-Watson lineup is bad, I hope Skiles won't put Napier in as well like he did against the Mavs if I'm not mistaken. Napier-Jennings-Watson would be seriously atrocious and would make our eyes bleed, ugh.

I'm eager to see how we move the ball with Evan coming back into the starting lineup.

Payton
Fournier
Mario
Gordon
Vucevic

Fair point, can't say I disagree.

Edited my post to be more accurate.

Let me rephrase what I said: Last meeting Len killed Vooch, as do most opposing centers.

Len had 20 points and 14 rebounds against our starting center in our last meeting on 7-10 shooting (he averages 7.9 PPG, 6.6 RPG).

Just stop.. Another one for the foe list

Magic by 10 Vooch for sweater vest.

Mind elaborating? I thought we were all on the same page about Vooch's charmin soft D, and half of the time non-existent D. Not saying I dislike Vucevic, because I don't. I was actually very high on him when we first acquired him, and I still like him but as much as his game helps us, it hurts us.

Are we just subtly trying to decide who we want to keep between Dipo and Evan?
