Jazz @ Suns 3-13-19

[AzStevenCal]

It's not like Jrue is an old man. He is in his prime.

Yes he's still in his prime although players start to decline shortly after they hit their peak with the rate of decline accelerating between 30 and 32 so he likely won't be "prime" for long. If we make a deal for him I won't be very upset about it as he should make us better right away. But he'll be about done by the time the rest of this core is ready to really compete. That's not a horrible way to go, it's just not my first choice nor would I give as much in a trade as I would for Beal.

Jazz fans are not very popular among players.

Why is Bender still in the starting line-up? Even with the team's recent success, they keep getting blown out in first quarters, and I believe that is largely a result of Bender starting.

Jazz fans are not very popular among players.

I remember reading something back in the 80's (maybe early 90's) that said players felt that Utah had knocked Boston off the top of the most abusive fans list. So they've probably been the worst for quite awhile now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker opens the Suns scoring with a 3 pointer.

 

[Beaver]

The sideline reporter is super cute.

 

[Finito]

Ayton is big but he’s dwarfed by Golbert he’s huge

Fans are crazy up there for sure. Maybe it's because the fans are closer to the court or they need some source of entertainment.

Or because....

Or because....

I could put in a few things here. LOL

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a nice turnaround shot by Josh.

 

[Finito]

Soooooo I like them Jerseys

Golbert bothering Ayton

Golbert bothering Ayton

Ayton needs to take a cue from the other players and take it to the basket.

Suns need to feed him going to the basket.

 

[Finito]

Holmes with the monster block

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter;

Suns 27 - Jazz 25

Booker is tricky, tricky at the buzzer to draw the foul. He makes three free throws to put Suns ahead.

He even winked.

 

[SirStefan32]

Bridges is so good defensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is invisible right now offensively and defensively.

 

[Bufalay]

Ayton is clueless in pick and roll defense. He consistently does the exact wrong thing.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton blocked Gobert on that shot attempt.

 

[SirStefan32]

Kicked him in the nuts too.

 

[ColdPickleNachos]

Clear block there.

 

[SirStefan32]

That foul on TJ and that goaltending were both terrible calls.
