UTAH vs PHOENIX,12/14/12 @ 7 p.m. MST

[Cyrone Torbin]

I almost view this as a bigger test than San Antonio. Can we handle an inferior team on the road?

They better. Being able to beat good teams at home and bad teams on the road is a good place to start.

[JimLes]

We just beat an awful team on the road this past weekend.

Yeah, but even if LA sucks, your mentality is still that they are an awesome team because of their name talent. It's easy to overlook Phoenix and not come out ready to play.

The players look very serious right now. I doubt they're looking past anyone.

[jeffsneeze]

As long as they keep doing what they've been doing on the current win streak (playing team ball, making the extra pass, playing better defensively), the Jazz should win this game.

[Revolution 9]

Another test.

After beating a hapless La team, and then a hot Spurs team, now comes the let down game.
If we can beat the Suns it's another sign we may be on the right track.

Yeah, because NBA players are renowned for their undying commitment to the sport.

[JJAS]

Favors usually dominates Gortat and takes him out of the game mentally. We'll see if Al and Paul do the same thing.

Last game 0/6 with 1 point, blocked 3 times.

Game before that 1/8, 2 points, blocked 5 times.

They're already missing Favors interior D!!

[JJAS]

Superb D Al!

[Thee jazz fan]

They're already missing Favors interior D!!

Al's defense is beyond atrocious to start this game.

[JJAS]

What is it with this starting unit? Al doesn't play D because he's worried about getting in foul trouble, Foye is all but useless (spot up threes...), and porous perimeter. It's normally not until the second unit brings energy that this first unit does anything.

[Revolution 9]

This interior defense isn't getting it done. Oh thats right it's Corbin playing Big Al and Sap together....again
