The Orlando Magic will try to extend their winning streak to five games when they take on the potentially new-look Phoenix Suns in the desert tonight. The Suns traded for shooting guard, three-point assassin, and dunker extraordinaire Jason Richardson on Wednesday, and there's a chance he, along with Jared Dudley, will be available tonight. I'd much rather their flight get delayed, or something. Phoenix will already be without starting center Shaquille O'Neal, who will be traveling back from attending a family funeral. It'd be nice to face a team at much less than full strength, especially since the Magic are fairly healthy.
However, the Suns, even at less than 100%, are still deadly. They had only eight men available to play Wednesday night against the full-strength/deadly Los Angeles Lakers, and still managed to only lose by five. Much of that has to do with Matt Barnes' lighting up from downtown--he sank 5 of his 11 three-point attempts--but the fact stands: the Suns are still quite good.
Tune in to Sun Sports at 9 to watch Jameer Nelson blow by Steve Nash and Dwight Howard dunk on Amare Stoudemire. Go Magic.

Magic might want to close out the Suns' shooters
Nash is 4-4 from deep, including the last shot of the half. He was wide the F open.

Magic made only 3 of their final 14 shots in the second
… they are now 22 of 45 for 48.9; the Suns are 24 of 46 for 52.2.

Rushing garbage shots will do that to you.
Not worried. The Magic are the more talented team. I just hope Stoudemire doesn’t heat up in the second half.

Now if only they could stop themselves from taking stupid shots
The long rebounds on 3s act as TOs because they ignite the Suns’ break.

Magic down 111-110, have the ball. 12 on the shot clock, 14.5 on the game clock
So they can’t get the last shot unless they miss and get the board.

Who do you go to here? Hedo?
Rashard’s looked sharper tonight…

Nelson's gonna be the hero... he has 10 points in this quarter
He will hit the game-winner!

TURKOGLU!!!
hits a long 2. On the same play they ran against Portland. And he was wide the F open, too.

Mr. Clutch... he plays like crap the whole game then hits the possible game winner

Magic fall asleep on D, Hill gets a wide-open layup
112-111 with 2.7 to play.

Good D by the Suns
… Lewis was forced into taking a tough shot

now to begin the inevitable "Magic can't win against a team with a winning record" mantra
by TheGiantSquid on Dec 12, 2008 11:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
you know it's true
Portland doesn’t count either

Nope, not at all. That shot was a fluke.

totally
the only teams that matter at the Celtics, Cavs, and Lakers anyway

It's har winning 5 on the road
when your playing out west. I really hope Dwight is fine. Way more improtant

Of all people to hit the game-winner, it had to be Hill, didn't it?
by Ben Q Rock on Dec 12, 2008 11:32 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
That hurts
A revers layup froma guy with no ankle. I’ve had a few drinks, I could write 7 paragraphs about how much that hurts right now.

Tough loss... but I'm proud of the effort
… down 10 entering the fourth and almost pulling it out without Dwight Howard.
by Mike from Illinois on Dec 12, 2008 11:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
anyone ever notice we seem completely incapable of winning 5 in a row?
it’s really weird.
by TheGiantSquid on Dec 12, 2008 11:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Yeah... but I'll take 4 out of 5 the whole season
… that would mean around 65 wins.
by Mike from Illinois on Dec 12, 2008 11:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Hill... 15 points 9 rebounds
In hindsight… Turk probably took that shot too early and gave Phoenix too much time.
by Mike from Illinois on Dec 12, 2008 11:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
SVG certainly has confidence in him.
Considering he was 3/17 at that point.
by lil penny on Dec 12, 2008 11:36 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Then went to 4/18 with the game on the line.
Furthermore, why was he inbounding with 2.8 seconds instead of taking his 19th shot attempt!?!??!

well time to drown my sorrows in more ice cream
…in 40 degree weather :D ‘Night, all. We’ll win the next one ;)

Wish it could have been a victory sundae!
… maybe tomorrow night! Have a good night TGS
by Mike from Illinois on Dec 12, 2008 11:37 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Tomorrow night at Utah.
Certainly won’t be easy. Let’s hope we see more of tonight’s 4th quarter, and less of the 3rd.
