Although Suns are contenders, the curious thing is if we win tonight we'll be tied in the standings.

I can see Markkanen continuing his career high form. His numbers are great when you count the fact we're missing a #1 PG.

I can also see that plethora of turnovers will turn any efficient scoring into a loss.

Anyways, a winnable game if you ask me.

I like the quote- it makes me chuckle. And it was/is pretty much true.

Kudos to anyone willing to wipe off that smile from Allen's face.

Good comeback by the Jazz, but c'mon play some defense......

They shot more than 50 in FG and more than 50 in 3pt. 2 super star playing like super star, and we were really close. We are improving. Still we aren't enough, but we can be a better team.

It took a really good KD to get the Suns the win eventually. I think Clarkson is taking crazy shots but as long as they go in…
I am expecting the Suns to play some D on Sunday so let’s see if and how we can adapt.

The Suns are missing CamJ, Bridges, Crowder, CP3, Ayton gone are the days when Phoenix played stellar defense. I wouldn’t be surprised if Utah puts up another 125+ point performance.

It was an entertaining game but our defense was trash. We were abused by Nurkic.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.
