Suns at Jazz 11-1-14

Hopefully that can get Dragic going.

 

[sunsfan88]

Maybe but I would wait awhile before declaring it.

Yea I probably should, we were down big yesterday also.

 

[StreetTruckinTitan]

Kid 'n Play having a positive impact on the game tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

Alex len block party!

 

[slinslin]

The Jazz announcers are awful.

Burks undercut Green and they say its a phantom foul call.. oh and Green is bleeding..

 

[Cheesebeef]

Green is such a ridiculous heat check guy.

It's looking like I may be TOTALLY wrong on Len. That's kid's length looks like it could REALLY be a boon for our D and problems for opposing offenses.

 

[Mainstreet]

Thus far the Suns only have 10 points from their PGs in the first half.

 

[SirStefan32]

Bledsoe and especially Dragic have got to wake up.

 

[slinslin]

Bledsoe has played well... he is on his way to a triple double..

 

[sunsfan88]

Favors loves playing the Suns. He never goes off like this unless its vs the Suns.

On pace for 40 but I think he can get 50 if we continue our defense.

12.

 

[Mainstreet]

Favors has 23 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half. He is almost single-handedly beating the Suns. The Suns need to find someway to slow him down.

Certainly isn't gonna come from Plumlee.

It would be moronic to start the 2nd half with Plumlee imo. Len is the only one on the entire team that has the best chance at even slowing down Favors a little.

 

[sunsfan88]

We're actually shooting much better than the Jazz but its all the 2nd chance points and points in the paint that are dooming us.

This is the first time I can remember him going off against us. I don't even think he's ever scored 20 points in a game against us until tonight. He usually does well against us but tonight is an anomaly.

I knew this would be a really difficult win. Any time you play in Utah on the 2nd night of a B2B, especially coming off a huge win and especially being so early in the season (when conditioning isn't 100%), it's tough to win. Hopefully the guys, especially Len, don't wear out in the 4th Q.

 

[Mainstreet]

Undoubtedly if Tucker could have played tonight he would have been given time guarding Favors.

 

[BC867]

Well, all that and we're down by only 4 at the half . . . on the road and in the 2nd game of a back-to-back.

I have confidence in Jeff not wearing out his players.

I feel confident for the Suns as the 2nd half begins.

 

[slinslin]

How can it be that all the time one of the Jazz forwards gets open in the paint.

Someone is doing a terrible job of leaving his man or keeping the guards infront of them so our bigs don't have to always step up to help.

 

[slinslin]

Dragic man, just awful.

 

[sunsfan88]

This is ugly.

 

[sunsfan88]

Time to just empty the bench imo, not point in wearing out the starters even more.

 

[ProdigalSun]

yep ...team looks gassed

 

[FutureSuperstar]

Either the Suns are playing lazy or they are really fatigued. There has been a lot of jogging/ standing around on offense and standing up on defense. Suns haven't played well, but I don't think much can be taken from this game ... It's the 1st b2B of the season, and at high altitude.

 

[sunsfan88]

I don't understand why Hornacek insists on gassing out Dragic every single game. Take him out, there's no need to wear him out even more.

Admit a loss and move on to the next game.

Give Ennis or Goodwin the minutes, its not like we have a shortage of guards on the team.
