Jazz @ Suns Sunday game thread 2-27-2022

[Cheesebeef]

This is starting to get away from us.

 

[Mainstreet]

Controlling tempo is the Suns game. Without Paul the Suns have trouble doing it.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Love the way cam and bridges play together

 

[Hoop Head]

Oh... didn’t realize that.

Yeah, it's not ideal but not it's not terrible either.

Suns need more rebounds from Ayton (3).

Ayton doing it on the offensive end (15).

 

[Phrazbit]

How is it a jump ball when the Conley's half laying out of bounds?

Halftime:

Suns 60 - Jazz 56

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Bench has to give some freaking help

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Suns need more rebounds from Ayton (3).

Yup. His early season rebounding average has dropped precipitously.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bench has to give some freaking help

With the Suns starting three forwards they really need something from Craig. His shooting has been way off.

 

[Hoop Head]

Ayton was always an opportunistic rebounder rather than a skilled rebounder. That's become more evident as guys like Booker and Bridges have improved their rebounding plus with how McGee or Biyombo look out there in place of Ayton.

 

[Phrazbit]

LeBron having a commercial where he is talking to his younger self about how he is going to get to call his own shots while, in the present, LeBron is rapidly gaining a reputation as a franchise destroyer... that is funny stuff.

 

[GatorAZ]

If this is the new DA he will keep firing away in the 2nd half.

 

[Raindog]

Now we get to hear Stiffin A. explain how the Suns with nearly 50 wins at the break are the worst team ever.

Halftime:

Suns 60 - Jazz 56

Man….that was a really good half of basketball by both teams. These teams always play each other tough. We might see these guys in the second round and it would be a doozy of a series. We’ve actually contained Mitchell since his hot start. Conley and Bogdanovic have been efficient but Gobert on the glass is killing us. DA is playing great offensively but he needs 8-9 rebounds this half and do the exact same thing on offense. I like Book’s shot selection today. Midrange has been really solid and only one three. Utah is in this game because they’ve outscored us by 12 from 3. Let’s keep the pressure on boys. Take care of the basketball and rebound!!!

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns only got 6 points from their bench while the Jazz got 17.

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Cam for three!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

13-3 rebounding edge for Gobert to Ayton.

 

[Hoop Head]

No flagrant

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man Ayton needs to learn positioning and how to box out.

 

[Hoop Head]

His elbow caught him but that was incidental.

Ridiculous call. Jae was going for the ball, totally. Gobert was bent awkwardly.

 

[Raindog]

Man Ayton needs to learn positioning and how to box out.

Yeah, just unfortunate that he has no natural basketball instincts for all those aspects of a classic big man game. All the physical talent in the world to be the best big man in the game but just lacks the mental instincts. If any kind of coaching could somehow fix that, he very well could have been the next Olajuwon.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 78-72.
