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

[franklin]

Utah coming off four straight wins, Suns coming off 4 disappointing seasons.

VS.

"Trade me, trade me"

Predictions: Jazz blowout the Suns. Burks plays a little. Tinsley passes between Scola's legs.

Nice thread frank.... jgolds might be pissed though cause his threads have been winners lately, but nice thread anyways.
Repped.

 

[Brown Notes]

 

[fishonjazz]

should be an easy win.
Get our guys lots of rest please ty (play the youth), we will need the rest for tomorrows game.

Time to build some swagger on the road. Go in and beat a lesser team.

Continue to manhandle Gortat and bring this W home boys.

I forgot this one is on the road..... not such an easy win anymore maybe, but still should be a win.

Thanks for the reminder. If JGolds wants to continue his streak then I wouldn't be offended if he created a thread and mods merged this one underneath that. Nate's always helpful with this stuff.

Normally, a road game in Phoenix would mean a double digit loss.....but the Suns no longer have Steve Nash, a 2 time NBA MVP (should have been 3 MVPS!). So I think we've got a chance!

I had to reread that post, it surprised me. I first thought I had missed a jab or a barb. That was very generous of you.

I hope Tinsley gets to play some tonight. Also, hopefully it's a blowout so Favors can get closer to game-shape while playing with less pressure.

Suns are coming off a win against Memphis, they might have some confidence too. Jazz should win, but I wouldn't expect it to be a blow out

Especially since Phoenix just won over Memphis at home. Yep, expect the Jazz to just waltz in and beat them by 20+.

Typical game we should win, but wouldn't surprise me if we laid an egg. I bet Dragic has a nice line of around 16/8 and a combination of Dudley, Morris, and Brown shoot 50% from 3. I expect it to be close down the stretch and while our closers aren't great they are better than anything on PHX's roster so I think we pull out a close one.

I guess you didn't see post #6 in this very thread huh?

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.
