Guessing Utah -1
This will be a compelling match-up. We need to attach to shooters. Make them dribble.

All about perimeter defense switching and rotations, think we're steady enough in other areas.
Interested in how Ayton performs against Gobert to measure his legitimacy as an impact player at playoff level.
Love a big game that could shift how we assess championship hopes.

Need the suns to make a big statement these next 2 games and get the Jazz hoping they won’t see us in the playoffs

Top 2 records in the league, ESPN game, with both teams mostly healthy. This might the biggest regular season matchup we had in the last 10 years.
I Dont wanna be here

It would be really nice to win this one as we've beaten them once already so this would give us the tie breaker if needed.

Such a big stretch coming up. Two big games from Book and he should seriously enter mvp conversation. We really need to get the 1st seed. Lakers are dropping to #7.

If anyone enters MVP from us it will probably be Paul. Even he fans voted him MVP, at least so far.

Neither Paul nor Booker should be at the top of the MVP race but All NBA is going to be super interesting. So many awesome guards but if the Suns finish top 3 in the west one of them should make it. Id give Booker the nod over Paul but it's closer than the raw stats would suggest. I worry the two of them will steal votes from each other and niether makes it.bwgood77 wrote:Crives wrote:Such a big stretch coming up.

I think Booker would probably get on an all nba team over Paul, even though I think Paul is the most valuable player for the team this season. Just watching Galloway and Nader's video and the way Nader talks about how he coaches and holds every player accountable player 1-14 and talked about how much he's grown and matured under him the last two years.
I think Paul has had this impact on numerous players on the team and his value to this team is kind of immeasurable.

So pumped for this game. This'll be the first time we've played a full-strength top team since...the first time we played the Jazz? With the exception of that Clippers game this Suns group always shows up for the big-time matchups. Looking forward to a great game

The over reactions either way over the next couple weeks are going to be out of control.

Obviously I would love a W but W or L, I'm just excited to watch the game. The two best teams in the west both currently playing at a high level (9-1 in the last 10) and it feels like the first healthy contender we've played since we beat the Bucks and Sixers B2B in early Feb.
This is going to be a real test for us

I kinda scratched that game off the record because it was far too early in the season to really say anything about either teams. We played a healthy Bucks and Sixers back in Feb.
But yeah I'm super pumped for this game as well, I don't think I've been this excited to play a top team in a long time.

I was going to post earlier that I hope we don't jump out to a lead to start because when it inevitably gets close people will complain that we lost it when basketball is a game of runs.
I wonder if Book will want to guard Mitchell.

Seems like Gobert, who is a 65% FT shooter, always goes like 9/10 from the line when we play them since we intentionally foul him.

Not sure how much to read into that first Jazz game either, but it was the last one I could remember where the other team had all their top players. I thought I remembered that when we played the Sixers they didn’t have Simmons and when we played the Bucks they didn’t have Holiday? But I digress...let’s go Suns!

Guilty as charged . I’m hoping the same thing, but because I’m a bit worried about them losing focus if they get out to a lead early. Late 2nd or later is when I feel like if they got some separation they’d still stay focused. But since this is a good team maybe focus won’t be a concern.
