No need to rush that pass at all. A timeout should have been called.

Just think if that ridiculous bank 3 prayer had not gone in we would have probably won.

Surprise
Crowder blew it twice. He should of gotten it to Booker right away but instead threw it to Cam, and then instead of throwing it to Book on the second chance he threw it to Monty.

Eh, I'm not that disappointed. That missed timeout was bad but ultimately we looked a lot better than I expected without Paul. Its not like Utah isn't a great team on their own. Tough loss, not a terrible loss.

Jazz bench with 43. Suns bench 11.

No points from Torrey Craig.

Craig was flying around everywhere last year. This year we are more well rounded and he’s not as active.

Maybe go small first when ayton goes out. McGee or Biz need a guard to feed them, and he’s currently out of commission.

Once Payne is back, which is soon, we will win against most teams.
Most teams? Man, I think you’ve really got a really heightened view of this team sans CP3.

Also, Payne has supposedly been coming back soon for weeks. We have no clue when that’s going to be or how long it will take to get him reincorporated with the squad. Also... unfortunately he has sucked the majority of the time when he was healthy this year.
Suns scored 114 points, shot 51/46/82 and lost.
this is what's been most concerning to me since the break and coming out of this game. our offense can still score points, but our defense has been abysmal.

Not digging Ayton's "rebounding is optional" approach of late. Dude needs to be under the basket for every missed shot. Glad the team is making him a focal point of the offense, but gotta get those boards, son.

Not apples to apples per se, but definitely in the same category

This game reminded me of Game 5 of the Finals. Suns start hot, Jazz hit back. Nip and tuck in the third. Suns had the lead in the 3rd but Donovan got going. 4th quarter we're down 10 with 2 minutes left and we blow it at the end with a miscue.

averaging 6.8 rebounds per game since the break is unacceptable. if this team is gonna survive the next 20 games, he has to raise his game on every level.
