    What to Watch For One thing we don’t have to worry about is the three-point shot from the Magic. They are shooting 34% (last in the league), hitting 10.7 of 31.4 attempts per game. The Suns' perimeter defense has been suspect off-and-on during their recent seven-game win streak but has been better than earlier in the season. On New Year's Eve against the Suns, the Magic were unable to force their way to the free-throw line, shooting 11-12 in a 112-107 loss. That is normally their specialty, getting to the line and attempting 26.4 per game. The Suns are right behind them, averaging 25.2 per game. Prediction Booker will go off again. For how many points? I am not sure. The man is still out to prove something after being snubbed as an all-star starter. I predict another great start to the game, 20+ to get this Suns team out to the hot start they need, leading to a blow-out victory. From the Phoenix sites lol …predicting a blowout and a Booker go off game . https://www.brightsideofthesun.com/2024/1/28/24052894/game-preview-suns-continue-long-road-trip-against-the-magic

    Orlando Magic (eighth, 23-21) What they need: Shooting. Since Dec. 12, the Magic rank 29th in both 3s made and percentage. I identified them as the NBA’s worst overall shooting team last month when they were playing well. The wins have dried up in the second quarter of the season, and the painful shooting is a major reason why. Who they should target: Memphis Grizzliesshooting guard Luke Kennard. The Magic have a surplus of point guards. Cole Anthony was extended, Anthony Black was drafted, and Jalen Suggs is starting at shooting guard. Markelle Fultz is in a contract year. The Grizzlies should be looking for assets in what is a lost season. Kennard is shooting a four-year low from 3, and that’s still good enough for 42.6 percent. https://theathletic.com/5228489/2024/01/26/nba-trade-deadline-team-needs/

    Yeah and to add since we don’t have Simons yet lol …almost every one of his 5 fouls were the And1 kind …I thought Fultz was playing pretty well …Tightened up his D on Kennard in the 3rd quarter …dude didn’t even get any shots off …no clue why Mohs didn’t put him back in …I said earlier we coulda passed Miami in the standings …this ain’t no time for experimenting …something fishy …maybes there’s something to that showcasing players stuff you guys talk about who knows

    Yeah I am confused and don’t understand …I saw Fultz on the bench and encouraging teammates the entire 4th quarter …made no sense for him to sit that long …when somebody gets some facts I’m all ears
