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.


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.


Yeah, you were the one who made me think of posting that. :D

Really excited for this game. This is gonna be our biggest game of the season and we’ve said that before vs other teams but it’s different this time. We say that same thing against games against perhaps Lakers, Clippers, Bucks but those are all title contenders that probably don’t care all that much about a reg season game or they had several guys out due to injury.

This game is unique because it’s the biggest game of the season for both the Suns AND the Jazz. Players and coaches on both teams are gonna be super hyped up for this one.

Hope we win but regardless win or lose I just hope we come out of it with no injuries.

We really should win.

Suns at home have a better record than Jazz away, and we're on a season high win streak at full health.

Keys for me are Ayton has to be within ball park of Gobert's production and keep them to 30 something % from 3.

Then we can play to our game that has gotten us to top 2.

Scored 111+ in 12 straight home games.

Calling it now, but if we lose I will blame the loss on anyone who's name rhymes with "BeAmbre Layton".


Serious note, I'm excited for this game.

I'm excited too but something tells me we will be playing catch up all game long and come up short. Let's hope I'm wrong though.

I read all the posts so far and this def feels like a playoff game.

Win or lose, we need this to be competitive at the very least.
I'm most interested to see how Ayton plays as I do think this will be a playoff atmosphere. I trust everyone else.

DA has mostly played undersized teams the last couple of weeks so I want to see if he disappears against an elite big or if he finds ways to still be impactful.

I'm stoked for this game, I hope the Suns are too. And I hope it's not a blowout (either way), so we see a good, competitive game and we win at the end.

I will be totally fine with blowing out the Jazz on National TV.

Jazz opened -2, now at -1.5.

Agreed about the blowout.
I also want this win to own the tiebreaker.

So weird, this is just a regular season game but I’m so excited for it lol. I have hardly been able to pay attention to work all day, just waiting for tonight.

Anyone know if we get JVG/Mike Breen as the commentators? I hope so.

I said +300 if LV Suns parlayed the two. Ayton’s over/under for rebounds is 9.5. I think he plays well tonight. We will need it. Take the over!

I think that would show more resolve and resilience than being up all game and choking in the 4th. There's positives depending on how you look at it.
