Suns at Jazz game blog

[CubanMustGo]

just in case anyone is interested ... both teams want to win to solidify playoff positioning tonight.

[Horry For 3!]

I will be going for the Jazz.

[CubanMustGo]

SUNS-JAZZ SERIES HISTORY: Phoenix will try to avoid being swept by Utah for the second time in series history (1999-2000, 0-4)… The Suns have lost all three meetings in 2006-07 by a combined 10 points… Phoenix has captured six of the last 11 contests, but the Jazz have won all three meetings in 2006-07 by a combined 10 points… Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan earned his 900th career coaching victory over Phoenix on Feb. 7, 2004… Utah has won 27 of the last 41 overall meetings in the series… The Suns lead the all-time series 75-65 including an impressive 50-20 mark in the Valley of the Sun… Utah has won five of the last eight meetings in the Valley of the Sun.

[Shank]

That Boozer kid is pretty decent.

[CubanMustGo]

Phoenix out to a quick 6-0 start, Sloan takes a TO before things get too bad.

[CubanMustGo]

Didn't work. Now 13-1 as Okur, Fisher, Boozer are a combined 0-7. Yeesh.

[Budkin]

Come on Jazz ya bastards!

[CubanMustGo]

Like watching a pinball game ... 23-10, Amare with 7 and Bell wiith 6. The only Utah player to show up so far is Harpring (6). Boozer 0-4, Fisher 0-3.

[CubanMustGo]

Boozer in a daze ... throwing up brick after brick, must have watched Kobe last night. Utah takes another timeout down 29-14, 2:14 left in the first.

[efrem1]

Don't do this to us tonight Utah!!!! :madrun

[SpursDynasty]

I think it's becoming increasingly obvious that all teams outside of Dallas, SA and Phoenix suck.

[boutons_]

Jazz having one of their extremely cold shooting spells, 34%

[CubanMustGo]

Well, Utah did manage to beat the Suns in their previous three meetings this year ... but doesn't look like it tonight. 32-19 Suns after one. 5 assists for Nash.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

utah making a strong push

[CubanMustGo]

Lots of turnovers by Amare and Diaw tonight are about the only things keeping Utah in it .. Amare travelled last possession, then lost it to Fisher and fouled him in the act. Jazz within 8 at 36-28 now, 8:30 left in 2nd.

[boutons_]

Amare's a punk. Gets stripped by Fish, then pushes Fish in the back to the floor. chickenshit

[Amarelooms]

Amare's a punk. Gets stripped by Fish, then pushes Fish in the back to the floor. chickenshit

Amare might be a punk but he also LOOMS

[ducks]

amare has 3 fouls

[CubanMustGo]

Amare picks up another offensive foul , that's three, and a tech for whining about it. Waaah. 43-34, 6:24.

[ducks]

6:24 PHO - Technical foul on A. Stoudemire

[Findog]

just in case anyone is interested ... both teams want to win to solidify playoff positioning tonight.

Go Suns, I think...Yeah, the sooner they clinch, then they'll have nuttin to play for against the Clippers. Warriors need help to get in, whereas LAC control their own destiny. Their game at Phoenix is the biggest roadblock to the playoffs.

[ducks]

suns shooting 63% nice d jazz

[CubanMustGo]

Crap, here comes Mr. Can't Shoot Straight (Boozer). Just what UTA needs trailing 48-37 ... and he immediately turns it over on an offensive foul. Is this guy TRYING to throw the game??

Sloan has to be besides himself. Jazz aren't playing worth crap tonight.

[SpursFanFirst]

Let's go Utah!!! Anyone see what's happening with that Denver game? Are they resting their players? How is Memphis able to keep up with them?

[CubanMustGo]

Okur picks up two quick fouls and a tech, Boozer throws another one away ... geez,

54-39 with Marion to shoot two after a timeout.

[ducks]

boozer has been playing well but is sucking today

[ducks]

sloan needed to call more timeouts earlier
they were within 5

[Findog]

Let's go Utah!!! Anyone see what's happening with that Denver game? Are they resting their players? How is Memphis able to keep up with them?

Denver has nothing to play for. They can't move up to #5 and they can't fall to #7. Locked in at 6.

[boutons_]

Suns may get 70 for the half. Jazz really stinking on both ends.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WTF, suns blew this out in a hurry


they win tonight, i think the #2 seed for the spurs is done for

[CubanMustGo]

This game is over - Jazz are playing like they got no sleep last night. 68-46 at the half and should have been 70 as Marion blew a layup.

[Findog]

I don't see why you Spurs fans are obsessed with catching the Suns for #2. You're gonna beat em in 6 anyway, HCA or not.

[01Snake]

Ass beating

[SpursFanFirst]

Denver has nothing to play for. They can't move up to #5 and they can't fall to #7. Locked in at 6.

I agree, which is why I can't figure out why their starters are playing so many minutes...and then they're losing on top of it?

[T Park]

Game over. Phoenix gets the number 2 seed.


Spurs vs Denver.

Start up the presses.

[boutons_]

Now there is less motivation for the Spurs to play 100% vs Mavs.

A Jazz win would have kept the Spurs 2nd seed hopes in play.

[ponky]

yup, and there is less motivation for the suns to play hard against the clippers


KEEP THOSE STARTERS IN THERE D'ANTONI....IT'S ONLY A 25 POINT LEAD!!!

[ThomasGranger]

Now there is less motivation for the Spurs to play 100% vs Mavs.

A Jazz win would have kept the Spurs 2nd seed hopes in play.

The third seed is starting to look like a lock for the Spurs right now, but the Suns could still lose to the Rockets and Clippers.

highly doubtful

[ThomasGranger]

highly doubtful

From "wouldn't matter" to "highly doubtful"?

Although I agree that it's unlikely the Suns would lose both, the Rockets aren't going to give up a chance to lock up HCA, so I wouldn't put that one in the W column for the Suns just yet.

And, if the Rockets get that win, you can bet the Suns are going to go all out against the Clips.

Rockets have NO...NONE...ZERO chance against the Suns. Have you ever seen these teams play eachother? Yao is worthless against them...he gets run out the gym. Suns win by 20+ easily :elephant

i'm not afraid to admit when i made a mistake...i thought it wouldn't matter but then remembered that they weren't in the same division. i guess we'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow, either way i want the suns and spurs to play long and hard!

:lol

[ponky]

NASH with 39 min and there's still 6 min left in the game, Marion with 40 min...23 point suns lead....AWESOME D'ANTONI, GET THOSE PLAYERS READY FOR THE PLAYOFFS!!!

[Amarelooms]

Ponky, I think you are becoming too serious with this stuff.

D'Antoni is an idiot.

What boxscore are YOU looking at?

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270414026

I see Nash and Marion both at 34 min each with 1:34 left to go in the game.

[Nashfan]

What boxscore are you looking at? Yahoo has Nash at 35 minutes. At least we blew them out and the Mavs lost with Dirk playing either 29 or 30 minutes, and I'm not sure on Howards minutes but they weren't light. They were not exactly hard minutes for Nash either. Coach basically used our whole bench except for Marks I think. Couldn't watch this game live since I'm visiting in another state. I think you are a bit obsessed with the Suns actually.

Give me a fucking break -- I think J-Ho logged 32, Dirk had 31. Stack, Terry and Damp sat. It was a close game until early in the fourth -- when the Jazz pulled away, we had Barea, Mensa-Bonsu, Willis, Ager and Buck out there.

lol, i can understand as a suns fan, that this would be a big deal if it were nash since the team relies on him so much, but look at the big picture and stop posting like you don't know how to read a boxscore...do not make me lay it out for you, that would be pretty pathetic on your part

Calm down!
All I am saying is 30 minutes or 35 minutes isn't that big a difference in the long run. Our guy's have not been playing well lately and I think coach wants them to start getting their heads into the games to get ready for the playoffs.

[Roxsfan]

Yep. First time this season that we don't play them(suns) on the 2nd night of a b2b. Playing at home, with everyone healthy, 3-s raining, rested, and a chance to lock HCA. I like our chances. Plus it would help if the Mavs beat the Spurs..as much as that would suck...it would mean the Suns won't go as full-on-out.


:nope

Rockets have NO...NONE...ZERO chance against the Suns. Have you ever seen these teams play eachother? Yao is worthless against them...he gets run out the gym. Suns win by 20+ easily :elephant



Ordinarily I would agree its a loss, but due to the above in blue...Roxs have a decent chance for a W.

If you are saying Howard played 32 and Dirk 31, there isn't much difference between some of our guy's minutes played. We for once actually played our whole bench, which is nice. I just like the fact that we finally showed up against Utah and blew them out. Some of you Mav fans get your panties in a bunch!! :lol

[Nashfan]

Nothing for me to calm down about. I'm not upset at all. :lol

So whats the talk in Phoenix.....Suns are going to come to H-town with guaranteed Rocket-ownage and get the W?

[Roxsfan]

Don't get your hopes up too high. :)

the nba is the league of "On Any Given Night", right :wtf :ihit

Don't get your hopes for a W too high :p:

I don't know, I don't live in Phoenix anymore and I'm out of town right now anyway. We don't seem to have much trouble against your team with our speed we seem to tire out Yao a lot. There is always a first time though! :)

lol, it's alright amarelooms, i didn't answer your question the other night and she thought she was being cheeky. i obviously meant *cool* as in their coolmax products that wick sweat away from your body and help you stay cool as in body temperature. i don't care about some hip brand when i go jogging, it's not about that when working out, save that silly stuff for the people who frequent 24 hour fitness or whatever, i work out on the running trail

you were saying :smokin :nope

do you have any stock tips, you are good at prognosticating. :dizzy

Yao had a worthless 34 points and nine rebounds and 1 block, 1 asst
Yao was 14-of-20 and 6-for-6 from the free throw line.

T-Mac, nearly triple double combining for for 73 pts...mac and ming.
