Game Thread & Preview - Utah Jazz @ Phoenix Suns

Utah Jazz at Phoenix Suns, Mar 4, 2010 8:30 PM MST



The Suns are reverting back to their old ways and that's not good.  They started out the season on fire.  Through November, they were 14-3.  Then over December & January they finally cooled off and couldn't crack .500 over that span.

But now they've won 13 of their last 16 with some big wins at Denver and at Oklahoma City.  They also knocked off Dallas at home.

In December and January, they gave up 107 & 112 points per game respectively.  Yikes.  And then, all of the sudden, they clamped down on D and gave up only 100 points a game in Febrhttp://www.sbnation.com/admin/entries/new?community_id=113&entry_type=GameThread&event_id=43624uary and just 93 points in the two games they've played in March.  That would hardly seem fair for a team to keep rolling offensively and suddenly start putting the clamps on teams on the other end.  That's a huge drop in points per game allowed.  I don't know if the possessions have gone down or what.

According to Seth from the Bright Side of the Sun, they've been "dominatrixing" on the boards lately.
  If they're rebounding well and pushing the ball after each of those misses, that's a frightening reality.  The Jazz will need to get back quickly on transition D or give up layups and open threes all night.

The Jazz are just 1 1/2 games up on PHX right now with the Suns having played 3 more games than the Jazz so far this season.  They're up one game in the win column on Utah. 

All of the remaining games for the Jazz are must-win when you consider the West and how fast you can move from 2nd to 8th.  Is there ever such a game that is a "it's an okay if we lose" game?  The reason why all of these are must-wins is to avoid having late games in the season be must-must-wins as in, we must-must-win in order to avoid playing LA in the first round.  So win things now so you can have your seeding taken care of later in the season.

Although, we do play PHX again on April 14th for the final game of the regular season and I have a feeling it's going to be a must-must-must-win.

Let's hope the warm Phoenix weather has loosened up Deron's wrist.

Amare has been killing it

Just dropped 41 on the Spurs a couple games ago, but Boozer put up a 20-20 last time against the Suns..

Should be a good game. Hopefully DWill comes out and abuses the old man Nash.

what's been the diff

between that stretch when you were giving up big leads and lately?

by moni on Mar 4, 2010 8:51 PM MST up reply actions  

good question

I think it was us getting cold and other teams figuring out our defense, the Suns would panic and start shooting jumpshots. With Robin starting at center he would challenge layup and shots and rebound better than Frye. Watch Milsap eat Frye alive tonight

Steve Nash plays D!!

are our rookies but they don’t play and I doubt that they can kill anybody

Fes

For the record, and I know this is somewhat out of context but I have seen it repeated far too many times including different game threads here, Fes never smoked in the middle of the game in Ukraine. It was speculation by someone in Ukraine when he had to leave during a quarter because he was ill. Repeating rumor and innuendo is kind of crap.

He's a Freshman. It would be a project. Not for next season. Aldrich would help the quickest. He'll be solid even.

What do we do with Wall if we get him?

by boomgoesthedynamite on Mar 4, 2010 11:36 PM MST up reply actions  

Who plays 2?

It wouldn’t work. 8 isn’t a #2… we know that. Neither is Wall. Do you trade for a nice big and take the chance of being “the guy that traded J Wall?”

by boomgoesthedynamite on Mar 4, 2010 11:38 PM MST up reply actions  

yep

I see what you’re saying, but I’ll worry about having two 1s and deal with the other team trying to stop it.

I was referring to the talking heads saying to trade DWill… that seems like a really, really bad idea to me.

by boomgoesthedynamite on Mar 4, 2010 11:46 PM MST up reply actions  

Dunno...

I def agree that either could play 2, but you’d be leaving money on the table with both. I think you may be better trading Wall and getting some legit pieces… especially in 2010 when you have all these fan bases in uprising about not landing LBJ.

It's brutal to sit through 3 unwatchable quarters...

and then make a run. Championship teams don’t lose like that to the freaking Clippers. All it tells me is that we are capable of dismantling teams if we put the necessary effort in… unfortunately, we don’t start putting that effort in until the final shot of the quarter.

PHX are shooting 322% from the floor, we’re shooting a negative FG%, yet they can’t get a lead more than 10 or so.

We didn’t give up.

We fought it out, and unlike the PAC game we got the luck and the W. There’s always a luck element in a road win, IMO
