Game Day: Jazz (12-37) @ Suns (25-25), Fri 2/7/25

[Cap]

And of course I miss CP3 though the elite version of him is long gone.

KD turns into a pumpkin on September 29.

Not a bad game to attend, bone!!

It was! Incredible finish and OT (after blown lead). Utah is tall! Great energy in the building tonight. No toxic bench. They all got along great. Both Beal and KD were out there high fiving everybody. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Utah really is tall. In OT we had O’Neale guarding Collins (big height mismatch) and Allen guarding Markkanen (even bigger height mismatch!). But they did just enough to bother their shots and also actually took care of rebounding in OT.

Yeah, their defense and rebounding really picked up in OT. They need to learn to do that more often.

Good thing they didn’t listen to all that Bud talking about playing well for 48 minutes.

A couple observations:

Nick Richards and I were wearing the same shoes this night. I too had my Book Sunsets on. Ryan Dunn is just a joy to watch. He is alway chewing gum and full of energy. Even when he's not playing, he's on the sidelines chomping his gum and jumping up and down in place. Crazy energy.

[Superbone]

Grayson Allen has really matured since his brat days. He's maybe gotten too nice. I remember we were all worried when we acquired him but he's been nothing but a professional and he's played some great basketball for us. In fact, the best of his career according to the man himself.

Great seats Bone!

Great seats Bone!

Yep, I splurged. Most I've ever paid for non Finals tickets. And I paid for my buddy too since I know he would have balked at the price. So glad it didn't end like it seemed it was going to end, blowing their largest lead right at the end of the game! Turned into quite the memorable experience.

Devin Booker is good.

[INFORMER]

Bol Bol: 24 min, 5-8 FG, 12 points, 3 boards, 1 assist, 3 blocks, +10.

Just looking for positives.

He should play more. Why we resign if we ain’t gonna play him? His defense is bad…but that’s true for most of the team haha

Yeah, I wish we would just commit to having be a regular part of the rotation. What's playing in front of him isn't much better.

[INFORMER]

Really interesting that we had four guys with double-digit three-point attempts.

It appears that they have. At least the last two games. We'll see.

[Mori Chu]

I see a guy like Bol bust out in a game like this and I think, "How did Coach miss this? Didn't he see that Bol was talented in practice?" Then I remember that NBA teams basically don't practice during the season. And it makes me think that the 82-game compressed schedule is bad for the sport. Fewer games with more time to rest and practice and prepare for each opponent would be better. And Coach would notice guys who are busting their butts in practice or playing well who deserve minutes.

[ShelC]

He's not an every night player.

[TOO]

He's not an every night player.

Tell that to the ladies.
