Jazz @ Suns Wednesday game thread 4-7-2021

[Proximo]

Well we have a decent lead but I don’t like the way they played that half.

 

[Chaplin]

Well we have a decent lead but I don’t like the way they played that half.

We’re playing the best team in the league. If we play poorly or ugly but still have an 11-point lead against them I’d say we’re doing pretty well right now.

 

[Germz249]

And why shouldn’t they? We can’t trust Carter to provide any offense whatsoever.

Is Carter that much better than Galloway or Moore?

 

[Chaplin]

Is Carter that much better than Galloway or Moore?

No he’s not. This is Monty experimenting.

utah shot a ridiculously low percentage from 3. That won’t continue.

You’re probably right. Have you wrote this game off as a loss? You don’t sound confident at all.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Is Carter that much better than Galloway or Moore?

Defensively yes, but Gallo especially is much better on offense. Carter just bring a defensive energy that no one else on the team does.

Carter=Defense
Galloway=Offense
Moore=Playmaking (at least this year)

Not yet, but we need to execute the offense better in the second half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Most will probably view it as a negative but I think it's huge Ayton (0 fouls) stayed out of foul trouble in the first half.

This allows him to be more aggressive in the second half.

Ayton had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and a block. Also a PER of +15.

Agreed

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Close it out

[Chaplin]

Agreed

We’ll have to see. He played soft in the first half with zero fouls, so I’m not sure expecting more in the 2nd half is a good idea. I think we might be disappointed.

 

[Proximo]

Pasch is really too much of a homer.

 

[Chaplin]

Pasch is really too much of a homer.

But still better than Kevin Ray.

 

[Chaplin]

I don’t understand how that is a foul.

I really thought he was phenomenal defensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

That wasn't a foul by Bridges. And now he has 4.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder needed that three.

What source provides a PER by game? And does it mean the same thing as the season rating does (where 15 is roughly average)?

 

[Chaplin]

Whistle fest

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton rolling to the rim.

He was.
