Place: Mortgage Matchup Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBALP

It feels like it's been a month since we played. Well, buckle up for the end of the season. 2 days off at most the rest of the way. Suns are back in action at Mortgage Matchup Center tonight against the hapless Utah Jazz. After this game, the Suns go on a 4 games in 7 days road trip starting Monday night in Memphis.

I guess we're cemented in the play-in. We're playing to host our games if we're the 7th seed?
Go Suns!

We’ve been in 7th since November and have 3-4 games cushion from 6 and 8. We aren’t leaving 7 haha…just gotta make sure we win that first play-in game. I think we’d lose, but I think we can scare the Spurs. I don’t think we’d put up much of a fight against OKC.

I think our destiny is to be #7 at the end of the regular season, then lose our first play-in game against the Clippers, and win our second play-in game against the Warriors/Blazers, giving us the 8 seed and the 1-8 OKC matchup. And I think they'd beat us in 4 or 5 games.

If we can somehow win that 7-8 Clips game, we get the Spurs and probably a more competitive series. I think we could maybe take that one to 6-7 games if our guys are healthy.

We'll beat the Clippers. They no longer have Zubac.

Didn't we just barely lose the first game against OKC? I seem to remember us also beating them once. I know we got blown out by them also but that was when we had a bunch of players hurt. I think we could have some real fun with them as long as we get our guys back healthy by then.

It is really hard to figure out what this team will do, when healthy. We have been missing our MVP since forever. Yeah, Dillon the Villain is my MVP for our team.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

I'm watching the U of A game instead of the start of this one. Will switch over after. Go Cats!

The Jazz defense is atrocious…they can score at times, but we should get shots whenever we want.

This is a fun one. Booker and Jalen are having a thunder and lightning attack on these Utah defenders and getting in the paint.

Why have the Jazz been so bad for so long now? Historically they've been a good franchise even after the Stockton Malone era

They were accidentally decent after trading Mitchell and Gobert and missed the boat on tanking till the end of the year…they’ve finally realized how to tank…they are basically sitting anyone that would be in their top 7 right now…Bailey the only guy tonight that is probably in their rotation next year.

Good Mutumbo impersonation but moving well in space.

Jalen Green's offense is overrated but his defense is also underrated. Where did this come from?
