Game Day: Jazz (2-2) @ Suns (1-4), Fri 10/31/25

5 fouls now on Oso, don't understand how he was left out there.

Up 50-30 but I hope we don't start settling for jumpers and let the Jazz back in. They've been missing a lot of shots and been a step slow but it doesn't take much to cut a 20 pt lead down.

Missing most of this one out trick-or-treating with the family, but it looks like we are kicking ass???

[Mori Chu]

Not sure I like the "RD0" nickname, but love the dunk.

[Split T]

Well I turned that on and watched us stink up the joint on offense to end the half…I’ve missed a lot of the early season, but still fills like Dunn hasn’t made a 3 all year to me

[ShelC]

No FGs the last 4minutes of the half, refs started blowing the whistle and they cut the lead to 14. Our offense was out of sync and we're lucky the Jazz are ice cold.

Gotta find some offensive rhythm. This also looks like the game where Williams comes back down to earth a bit.

Very choppy quarter, had no rhythm and just a bunch of whistles

FT line helped Jazz score more than 20pts cause our D continued to be solid

Goodwin couldn't get his 3pt shots to fall which is a bummer cause he's been causing havoc on the other end
Ryan's shot isn't falling either

Good to be still up double digits while only scoring 54

[bajanguy008]

Book started to cook a lil bit just now
Still maintaining the double digit lead

[Furlanfufi]

I hope Book continues to play like that for the rest of the season. Good team game overall.

I didn't get the chance to watch...too many r/l crap going on. Did Allen play PG tonight when he was in, or was Booker bringing the ball up?

Suns leading their group in the NBA Cup.

Stop the count.

[Superbone]

Nice to win from start to finish tonight. More of that, please. And Book looked like Book. Bring on Wemby and the Spurs. That should be interesting.

WHAT A BLOCK

Really good, much needed win. The team played with a lot of juice and bounce in their step from the start. Active on defense all around, Book was locked in throughout the game scoring 12 in the first and third quarters. Our role players did their thing, especially CG who's been exceptional. He came into the game and hit a few 3s right away that helped push the lead up. 12pts, 6a and no TOs with four 3s. We only had 9 TOs as a team with 30 assists. Book's averaging a career high 4 TOs/game but only had 1. He's been handling the ball less, with Grayson and CG taking on the responsibility and it's made a big difference IMO.

Dunn was active and had a double double with 13 and 10. You could feel him in the game tho on both sides of the ball. I really like when he's able to get a lane to the basket because he's one of the fastest guys on the team, even with the ball in his hands. He had two nice feeds to Williams in the paint because he was aggressive. Goodwin came in and made a difference defensively so it was good to see him contribute. Even Oso was +!8 in his 20 minutes, 3-3 from the field and 2-2 from the line. Still don't understand Ott leaving him on the floor with 4 fouls in the 1st half unless he just didn't want to go with Richards. He seems to be sticking with Oso as his main bench big. Williams with 9 and 7, not as many opportunities inside, maybe a bit flat and still getting his legs.

Not to be Debbie Downer but as well as we were playing, the Jazz missed a ton of shots. Some of that was due to our defense and some of it was them just being cold. Outside of Markannen they also don't have a lot of offensive options. Outside of Book, we don't have a lot of shotcreators either and there were a few stretches last night where we couldn't just score the ball. So until Green gets out there, we need to find some reliable, easy offense otherwise Book is going to have to play 40 minutes like last night. And when he's off, we've seen what happens. We can't just rely on 3pt shots when he sitting.

I'm as negative on this team as anybody, and I don't like the direction the front office has taken the team (specifically the lack of future 1sts). But I'll be the first to admit that this year's squad is much more enjoyable to watch than last year's ever was, win or lose. Fuck KD and Beal so, so, so much. This group of guys is one that I can actually support and cheer for, and while there isn't as much raw talent on the roster, they actually give a shit and play hard. And I think our defense overall has been better even though we are undersized. I think if we had exactly this same team but, say, half of our 1sts back, I would be unabashedly enthusiastic about the team's present and future. As it is, I just want to appreciate the good aspects of how things are right now. I hope it's a lesson to our ownership and FO that fans would rather have a band of brothers who play hard for each other and work as a team rather than just a couple of "stars" who think they're unbothered and above it all.

Thanks for all of the write ups. I went out with the lady last night (we were Nadja and Laszlo from "What We Do in the Shadows" if anyone knows that show) so I missed it.
