4 points from our 1st pick, nice.
I’ve always had issues with him...but he looks completely lost on offense this year. Have to wonder if his confidence is shot...we’re doing fine, but we’ll need him this year.
Disappointing that a 3rd year player is lost. He's not even being asked to be the 1st or 2nd guy. This guy is a bust through and through.

I'd be happy if they just stopped trying to run any offense through him - it's frustrating for us and I'm sure his teammates... if he wants points, he needs to earn them on the offensive glass. Other than that, worry about defense.

Clarkson having a rough night.

Wow, Paul and CJ sure play well together.

Well not kool that they got so close but that was a very good inbound play to get Book that jumper
Nice to see him with back to back key jumpers to ice the game as he hasn't been his best yet so far this season

Good win

Ayton had some good moments defensively. But, yeah, he's a work in progress on offense.

Booker had a run of TOs early in the fourth, but then closed it with some key buckets.

Bridges and Crowder were money for much of the game.

Plenty of room for improvement and they're still 4-1, so we have to be happy about the results at least.

I don't think Ayton, Booker or Paul have played up to their abilities so far this year, but Bridges, Crowder, Payne and Johnson have really picked them up.

Apart from the few minutes in the 4th where the Suns briefly lost control, that second half was great to watch.

Come on, Booker. Way too many unnecessary turnovers.

That was a professional win.

I was worried the Jazz would go on a run when the Suns were up big with about 8 minutes left. I thought Monty used the timeouts well to keep things in order.

Why can't Ayton catch or dribble a basketball?

Paul in at the 4:20 mark to close it out.

4-1 teams - Suns, Clippers, 76ers, Pacers, Magic

Suns are third in point differential (+10.6) behind the Lakers (+11.6) and Bucks (+10.8)

And they're holding their opponents to 97.8 points a game, fewest in the league.

The team had 15, 6 by Booker
But he closed the game very well

The Jazz broadcasters are the woooorst.
They really are.

I didn't think they were that bad tonight compared to some other teams in the league.

I was watching the Bulls/Wiz game and the Chicago guys were absolutely brutal.

A win in Utah is definitely a reason to celebrate.

What’s with Booker missing all the free throws?! I think that’s three misses so far...

Post by **Superbone** » Thu Dec 31, 2020 9:42 pm

I don’t understand why Booker is handling the ball so much with Paul in the game.

Post by **Superbone** » Thu Dec 31, 2020 9:44 pm

Wow. Killer Booker 3!

Post by **Superbone** » Thu Dec 31, 2020 9:46 pm

Paul and Ayton have a lot of work to do to get comfortable with each other.
