Game 5: Phoenix Suns (3-1) @ Utah Jazz (2-1) l Thur l 7:00pm l NBATV l FSNAZ

[Maze]

Saric and Kaminsky are about the same when it comes to defense & rebounding.Just so weak in the middle.

Man the FACT that we can easily go up by 20 against these teams is still crazy to me

It's crazy because I don't feel like the Suns have played particularly well in any of the games so far this season. They're blowing teams out while playing bad games. It's a good sign.

Paul and Ayton 6 of 21, still up 14.

It's strange, in the last 5 years, if we EVER won, it was a nail biter, outside of the bubble when we played teams resting starters, but it's nice to have blowouts...even if close games are more exciting and thrilling.

[bwoolf2]

Crazy thing is we haven't been very good offensively, our D is carrying us, we hit shots like normal and we are up 30

[bwgood77]

On Cam's 3, Utah announcer said "A rare miss for Cam Johnson" when he made it. About 15 seconds later he said "That ball did find it's way in."

I feel like there were MANY games in which we had good leads, and just blew them...causing nail biters. This team seems so confident.

They did against the Pelicans, even though Booker didn't do much. They shot crazy from 3....also shot very well from 3 in the second game against the Kings.

Ayton's scoring has been bad, but outside of that, he's been solid. I think he should have one more block, but he has blocked 1 and altered another Gobert shot recently and has 9 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks and a steal in 24 minutes.

If we are up by double figures and Ayton is struggling with shots, I don't care at all as long as he's playing solid defense.

[ATTL]

For all of Ayton's faults, he wants to win and plays within Monty's system.

He seems to play the .5 offense, passing immediately if he doesnt have a shot. Sometimes when he does have an open layup.

[Flying Colors]

Lord have mercy

[bwgood77]

Paul and Ayton 6 of 21, still up 14.

It's amazing that despite Paul's shooting, the difference he makes on the court now that he's learning player tendencies..he is a +17 while Payne is a -1.

I can dig this too! Defense has been really good.. still has a long way to go to be better a help side defender though.

I still didn't feel like they played well though. They just made shots luckily. I feel like we haven't even seen their final form.

[Mulhollanddrive]

Teams will improve their shooting but that will also mean Paul, Ayton, Booker get their time to click too.

[spanishninja]

We need Paul to find his shot soon. We wont beat the Nuggets tomorrow this way

Pretty certain Suns would be undefeated if they had Saric instead of Jones in that one loss.

[bigfoot]

Saric's gravity cleared out Gobert from the paint and Payne makes a nice cut to the basket.

I said they are right with the worst.
they are only trying to hype their own team which is in some case ok, but no real basketball information shared. we are blessed with EJ. he gives opponents all the respect, is funny, entertaining and tells likenhe sees it.

I’m not so sure I like a pass first booker
