Suns @ Jazz 11/10/12 Game Thread

[Phrazbit]

Games against the Jazz used to get me really fired up during the KJ/Stockton years... now... Brown/Hayward!!! Feel the intensity!!!

Go Suns!

Wow... it looks really freakin cold there.

 

[Phrazbit]

Gortat just mashed Hayward's face with the ball on a block...

Where did this guy come from? Did he hook up with some former Soviet Olympic "trainers" while back in Poland or something?

beasley with a turnover. needs to give it as soon as he gets the rebound. i don't mind a dribble or two but taking it all the way never ends well when he does that.

 

[95pro]

duds with a miss on an easy shot

 

[Phrazbit]

Coming back from big holes 2 nights in a row is a tall order. Suns need to get it together quick or this one will probably get ugly and stay ugly.

brown going kobe as soon as he got the ball

 

[95pro]

stupid morris didn't even put a body on his man

 

[jagu]

Suns issues stem from the fact they aren't good shooters. Brick brick brick and they are down 10.

 

[95pro]

morris blows a little tear drop. should be money from that range for a 6'10" guy, was only like 8ft out.

Yep. On the PSD boards some of those posters thought this team was going to be a top offensive team. With the lack of distributors and having so many guys who love to shoot... but are not particularly good at it, the Suns are going to struggle to score most nights.

They are going to have to be very disciplined defensively to not regularly face these big deficits.

Gortat got swatted twice already in the opening quarter.

Last time he played Utah, he got swatted 8 times so he's on pace to match that tonight as well.

 

[95pro]

morris just got man handled by kanter

 

[95pro]

beasley shoots a 20ft jumpshot while his man gambled for the steal, the lane was open man.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns front line is not effective tonight with perhaps the exception of Scola. They cannot get easy shots underneath the basket.

 

[sunsfan88]

Why did Gentry take out Telfair for Dragic with 7 mins left?? Especially when Telfair is playing well?

Is our team so bad that Gentry is purposely trying to get fired??

 

[95pro]

duds gets hit in stride with the pass and misses badly on a 3

 

[Absolute Zero]

I think they should rename this thread "bichfest"

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragic had a shot underneath the basket and passed off to Johnson who lost it out of bounds. Sometimes if you have the shot, you should not pass it off.

 

[95pro]

suns run the lead down to 7 to end the half. might have been better but we have telfair putting shots up on the suns last two possessions.

 

[Mainstreet]

Probably true of many threads.

I see you joined us.

 

[95pro]

brown steals and tries going coast to coast

 

[95pro]

morris is terrible

 

[Phrazbit]

I think a key for Minnesota's improvement was getting rid of Beasley and Johnson. Addition by subtraction. Beasley is terrible and Johnson... I still love the trade because we got a pick for nothing AND we dumped Warrick, but I knew Wes was bad, but the dude is way worse than I imagined. This is probably his last stop in the NBA.

 

[95pro]

suns within 9

 

[Phrazbit]

Storming back again. Telfair and Tucker being in the game improves the team defense dramatically.
