Suns Marcus Morris is now a part of the Jazz Killer club

The Utah Jazz have been torched by 281 different players in franchise history. Marcus just made it 282.

Over the years we Utah Jazz fans have seen our team give up a lot of points to individually talented, lucky, hot, or ref-assisted players over the four plus decades. Last night the Phoenix Suns forward Marcus Morris dropped 34 on the team. Really. Marcus. Freakin'. Morris. I would have been fine with someone else, almost anyone else. But Morris is now a Jazz killer with some crazy good shooting, and poor defense, he dropped over 30 on the team. This has happened 282 times before.

Sometimes a Jazz killer is a great player who kills everyone, like Kobe Bryant. Other times, it's a player who gets the best of a match-up, like Spencer Haywood. The worst Jazz killers, the ones we remember most vividly, are the guys who come out of no where to drop a lot of points on us. Linas Kleiza is the prototype. Morris is now one of them.
