Need Booker to score like 45+ like he normally tortures the Jazz in past 2-3 seasons.


First Half

They’re so tall

Pathetic.This is a recording…

Rough start. Booker has been doubled like forver and still don't seem to know what to do when it happens.

Down 19 halfway through the first is baaaaad.

At least they didn’t wait until halftime to get down by 20. That’s progress.

Only took 4 min to get to a double digit deficit. Looking forward to lottery ball day.

Ooof down 14 points to the lowly Jazz.

Now down 17...

it took 3.5 years to turn a finals team and best record in the nba into this ********.
but yeah there are still people out there defending the moves.

I hate this team. Burn it with fire!

Down by 17 now it’s a one point deficit. Welcome to the new nba where comebacks happen in a blink of an eye.

Problem is it’s all threes. Once the threes stop falling, this game is over. Can’t get free throws when your whole offense is perimeter based.

I don't think I've ever seen Grayson score on a dribble drive to the basket in a half court set.He's putrid at it.

As a Finn, I hope 50 points for Markkanen for the first time.



Second Half


Cant pay this man or any player $75M a year to NOT be dominant. I'm sorry

Made my opinion known- Book isn't worth the supermax extension.

But we gave it to him so hopefully he makes the effort to earn it.

Because that contract will be untradeable if he doesn't get better.


Suns just had like five things go absolutely perfectly to execute that comeback. Absolutely unreal

Walker Kessler huge block, defensive rebound, offensive rebound to clinch the win in OT



Post-Game

Good effort but we aren't beating teams reliably running Grayson and Royce as our forwards.

Too small and can't grab the rebounds.

Markkanen. ****.

The most shocking number of this game was Utah had 28 offensive rebounds.

That speaks volumes of the Suns lack toughness on the inside.



Well we tried to steal the game, they were the better, more complete team.

The offensive scheme is to take as many 3s as possible and hope we can get a stop, which is why we're seeing Royce and Allen and Gillespie get extended minute over the larger, interior players. We're averaging around 10 3PA more than our opponent in these four games. But we're around equal in how many we actually make. So we’re sacrificing size and interior defense in hopes to math them to death. Be nice if we actually had a single two way player.



Tbf the jazz are huge. I wish oso could shoot the three then they would just play him at the 4



3 missed FTs in OT. Book got passive again. I think the latter more frustrating. He doesn't have it then, when Grayson and Brooks and whomever next to him are more aggressive than him. He is so afraid of failures he lost his touch.

why is it painfully obvious to everyone that we were getting out rebounded by their two big lineup.. yet we couldn't make a simple adjustment with the 3 serviceable bigs on our roster?



Dunn 17 mins, -29 & Oso 13 mins -15. Thats the reason why we lost, they cant play on the floor together. Teams dont guard either one of them & load up on Book

Another game with 0 rookie minutes whilst Utah played theirs the whole game

Don’t deserve to win when you give 28 offensive rebounds

Missed free throws, Jazz are underrated but this was a winnable game. Too many attempts contested at 3 within the first 5 seconds of the shot clock.

Many more L's to come.... The Suns are just a practice squad for the playoff teams....lol. They will end up in the same place as the Dbacks and Cards.

Ahhh the Arizona sports scene. Where hope goes to die and despair goes to thrive

I hate being an Arizona sports fan


Around the League

This season's Jazz are last season's Blazers. They barely tried in the previous season and people overlooked the talent on the roster. They are going to crush preseason win projections.

Hard to see where the easy wins are going to come from in the West this season.

Side note, you have to feel a little bit for Booker. One of the most wasted players in the league. I respect that he is sticking it out and not angling for a trade.


Utah needs to finally trade Markkanen and tank for the elite draft next year. Being mediocre this year isn’t gonna be helpful for the future of their team and Markkanen is gonna be 29 in May, he needs traded with his value being as high as possible.

who in the PHX thought rolling with Booker and 14 Bums was a good idea?

Utah might be too good to tank


Lauri reminding the world he’s that guy before Ainge puts him into cryosleep again to initiate the Dybantsa Directive


Lauri ****ing Markkanen, what a demon


It’s amazing how effortless some players in this league score the ball

So.. is anyone gonna talk about how there’s multiple players dropping 40 or 50 in every game


Surely someone trades for the Markksman this year

Guys am i crazy or has there been a 40 point game every single day

This season is on crack so far I’m so excited. Lauri is really really good when the Jazz aren’t holding him out for a hangnail.

They gotta bench him soon or else he’s gonna **** up their tank, anyway I was at the game tonight and it was ****ing wild lol

I wonder what would happen if Jazz and Mammoth won champs as underdogs in the same year. I'd bust out so much chocolate milk and diet coke.

I have bad news for that Suns fan if he wasn't being sarcastic. That pick is going to one of like 4 destinations.

Booooo. but probably accurate. What did last season do for the blazers anyway? DId they make a deep playoff run? Draft a future star player in the draft? Please no.
For as much hype as Yang Hansen got around here, so far these are his stats this season: 1.8 points, 1 rebound, zero assists,.... shooting 12.5% from the field and zero percent from 3. That was their reward for crushing preseason win projections. Our reward would be even worse. A first round pick going to the best team in the league to help them with their dynasty.

Portland gave up on the rebuild too quick. Looking at their roster and I see them being a fringe play in team for years to come. Yay.

Scoot was supposed to be their star they drafted from tanking. It hasn’t worked out and why we must tank and trade Lauri

Its why they should have kept tanking. I didn't think scoot was ever going to be a star. Need to be able to shoot in todays nba if you are not a center.
