Because SFs need to have shooting ability when the PG doesn't.

Good thing we have sharpshooter Roy Devyn Marble in then. Shoots 22% from 3

AG has 2 fouls, that's why he is not in.

Make sure to pay attention on him in defense, like we watch when one of our guys play, Payton or Hezonja for example. I've seen Booker get exploited on offense several times.

He's 19 years old, were you expecting him to be Pippen?

This half was probably worse one by Magic in a while. Really hard to watch.

I'm still thinking how we got Ilyasova 9 shots, and Mario only 3.

Most of those shots were missed tip drills. Had like 6.

Why is Oladipo out?

How's the lineup look with Fournier instead of Dipo?

How come AG seems like he's been a massive afterthought on offense?

Elf looks like he's balling tonight.


Recap- We can't defend the paint for **** tonight. Alex Len looks like prime Tim Duncan.

Oladipo out with a back contusion.

The lineup doesn't look that great to me honestly. We are missing Dipo's energy badly right now.

AG got into some foul trouble early guarding Chandler. After that though, for some reason Skiles is going with Marble on the wing which is pretty stupid.

Elf is playing very well.


Yeah I agree. Didn't help that Aaron got two fouls pretty quick either. Those two are our energy guys.

Yes. If he isn't LeBron in his prime by now, I'm not sure why you guys even bother with him.

Some of this board has strange expectations for young players. Don't worry about it. :)

Since they're so best of buddies I say trade Fournier and Vuc at the same damn time. Too many euros on one squad will never amount to anything.

Lots of missed tip-ins/FTs/open shots, little defense, Skiles rotations, no energy.

Gordon and Hezonja not taking many shots, of course they would have to be on the court to do that.

Phx leading by 8 at the half. Vooch is making Len look like Hakeem.

The defense is inexcusable as to how bad. Weren't they saying its a must win? Very dissapointing.

1st quarter - Uptempo, EP with the ball in his hands making plays.

2nd quarter - Slow tempo, motion offense in mud, EP on the bench for 7 minutes.

Wish maybe Evan and Vuc didn't get the ball so much. Everyone talks about our lack of offensive weapons. How would we even know? They never touch the damn ball.

We deserve what is happening right now. Not defending the paint at all in the 1st half and gave a horrendous Suns team a ton of confidence. Need to see better effort in the 2nd half. Oh and AG can play the SF, just a thought.

Pissed because he plays with a bunch of soft players.
