Suns @ Jazz Thursday game thread 12-31-2020

[Mainstreet]

Perhaps Jevon Carter time tonight as he scores.

 

[Mainstreet]

Clarkson pushes the official. That should be a hefty fine.

 

[thirty-two]

Nice to see Carter get his first bucket (and now second).

 

[Mainstreet]

Yes, Carter is on (3-3).

 

[95pro]

Yes, Carter is on (3-3).

That was Chris Paul on that first one LOL

 

[Mainstreet]

Favors blocks Ayton.

 

[Chaplin]

Travel!

 

[Chaplin]

Suns defense starting to really frustrate Utah.

 

[95pro]

Travel!

that was such a travel on Favors, Ayton should had that though

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric back in the game. Ayton has played only 10 minutes and has 2 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne inflicts pain with a 3-pointer.

Come on, you know that’s not the whole story.

 

[95pro]

Jazz announcers...that’s just a common foul

cmon. No one fouls like that on a common basis

 

[Mainstreet]

Foul against Booker upgraded to flagrant.

 

[Beaver]

Jazz announcers are total homers. I don't even see a foul there. WTF

 

[Chaplin]

I guess they are saying he could have just wrapped him up, but i didn’t see a lot wrong with it.

He threw his hip into Booker.

 

[Sunburst]

He wound up... definitely a flagrant

 

[Chaplin]

He threw his hip into Booker.

Sure and that’s a foul. Just not a flagrant, especially since O’Neal got all ball.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne is playing so well as he hits a 3-pointer.

No, you just need to see the right angle. He clearly, intentionally hit Booker in the face before driving into the arm and ball. The ball is about 18 inches in front of where he swings his elbow and forearm initially. Then, factor in the unnecessary force, and it was an easy call IMO.

 

[95pro]

Horrible call on Payne

 

[Proximo]

The defense is impressive tonight.

Please. I’m watching the same game you are Steve. He didn’t hit Book in the face.

League is way better off de-incentivizing plays like that. It's like protecting qbs. No better way to get hurt than going up on a fast break.
