Jazz concede the least points, least fast break points and least pace, and are basically full strength at home, going to be ugly I suspect.

Gobert, Favors, Lyles and Diaw?* They are gonna destroy us in the paint/boards.

I*didn't really believe in the Jazz before the season started, but they have been very fiesty. You get the sense that they are about 1-2 years away from being really scary. They will probably be the team nobody wants to play in the 1st round of the playoffs.

I don't like them as a matchup for us because Gobert is such a nasty rim protector. That means lots of long iso 2-point jumpers, which probably equals a bad loss.

Exhibit A on why Gobert is better than Len

The main weakness I see in the Jazz is closing out games. So maybe if we keep it close down to the last few minutes, we will have a chance against them. Not that I want us to win, of course. Just give me some minutes for Bender and Ulis and I'll be a happy boy.

Booker is FEELING it. 18 points on 8/10 shooting in the 1st Quarter. Go youngin'.

I'm so used to seeing the Jazz destroy the Suns in first quarters. I don't know what's happening right now.

Ingles is Killing Us. Bled always gets killed by slow unathletic shooters

Utah just grind with their bigs and shooters, very solid team just need a top 15 player.

Getting beat by the hardcharging guard trio of Joe Ingles, Shelvin Mack and Raul Neto

Man, we are shooting well but they are over 70% and 75% from 3.

The only person to record an assist for the Suns in the first half has been Bledsoe.

Booker 18 in the first quarter. Doesn't touch the ball in the 2nd.*

I can't believe they didn't T up Booker for throwing the ball at Gobert.

Hayward is the star we don't have.

"This is probably our most consistant performance this season"

The Suns have 9 assists for the game. Bledsoe has 8 of them, Booker has the other one.

If I'm on the Jazz I just give Knight space and let him shoot. He's been like 2 feet off on every shot.

Gobert is a Suns killer.*I'm not sure why the Suns insist on trying to score inside against him.

I understand why the Suns were trying to score inside. The middle was open except for Gobert.*

can we let booker touch the ball?

Len did admirably but Hayward's going to be able to take him off the dribble about 9 times out of ten.

We gotta run p&r with Diaw's man, not Gobert's.

Booker had to shoot from the parking lot. How do you score only 2 points after putting up an 18 point 1st Q. Jesus.

Im watching the Jazz stream and they've about 7-8 videos of Suns players roughing up Jazz players with no call... Len's elbows which took George Hill out. Trust me, both teams have bad calls on them and Suns have actually done more damage.

I am convinced Hayward's hair is implanted. It doesnt move... Sleek and pretty throughout.

I've watched the Suns a few other times besides their games against us. Nobody talks about it because it's the Suns, but they play a little dirty. They have some players that get frustrated and then start cheap-shotting.
 
At the end of the season, someone should do a top 10 list of the best opponents message board posts. I would do it if I wasn't lazy...

Coach's influence? We know he always played hard and physical. Sometimes too physical.

Note: video is mis-labelled, it's PHX vs IND.
 
They would know that Hayward is, at best, a 3rd option on a contender IF they read these forums at all.. :D
