Game 2 Suns at Jazz

[jagu]

This Suns team is a lot different from the preseason Suns.. they haven't gelled yet but they aren't playing bad at all.

 

[Bert]

Great win for the Suns.

 

[Proteus]

Yay!!!! Suns win 110-94. Great job Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

A real sweet win tonight against the Jazz on the road. The Jazz are a quality opponent although they have not started the season well.

 

[Catlover]

Good win. It's nice to see us take advantage of another team on the trail end of a back to back.

Suns team is now like an European one. They need to play like a team all the time with no lapses on defense by anyone. Nash gave great effort staying with his man on defense, in limited minutes, tonight. If we keep it this way and shoot enough 3s, we will have good chance to make the playoffs. However, we'll miss a force like Amare in the playoffs.

True, except Amare really wasn't a "force" in the playoffs. Especially this past season when we made it to the Western Conference Finals.

And think about this -- except for the horrible 5 minutes at the end of the Portland game, we've put together a solid 91 minutes of basketball so far this season. Not perfect, but not horrible either.

Here's a question for people--Robin Lopez played his 2nd bad game in a row. Anybody worried that he hasn't had any impact out there? He fouled out in 19 minutes. However, we still one the game convincingly.

Oh, and I was really surprised that Nash defended Deron Williams the entire time he was in the game. I was convinced that he would be "hidden" on Raja.

 

[AfroSuns]

I was impressed by Nash defense too, not sure if it is because Deron played yesterday but Nash defended him well and even got a sweet steal.

I wonder if confidence in Goran allows Nash to put out a little more on the defensive end, knowing that he can get a rest without the team collapsing.

I don't know if that's even possible with Nash.

The difference between this game and the Portland game was offense. For this team to win we need to score between 105-110 points a night if we cant score over a hundred we will not win many games. Just watch that number the games we score over 105 and games we score 100 and look at the win/loss. Its not going to be our defense its going to be our offense...

 

[Griffin]

Great game. Almost everyone contributed to this victory, though Lopez struggled. Our bench was spectacular. Dragic again being very productive in the little playing time that he gets. Warrick getting more comfortable out there, and we finally got to see some of that freakish athleticism of his. He also plays with a lot of energy. JRich started the game slow, but still managed 16 points. Hill again doing whatever the Suns needed the most at the moment, this time coming up with 12 boards. Turkoglu hit some threes, but we still haven't seen the best from him. Frye is becoming a pretty good shot blocker, but still should be able to grab a few more rebounds. Overall, the Suns only got outrebounded by 1, which is a huge improvement.
