Jazz @ Suns Friday game thread, October 31st, 2025

didn't finish the half so well but leading by 16 - jazz started getting more physical that last 5 minutes - no mo oso lol not with 5 fouls and the jazz starting to bang - manman better put his man pants on

ESPN has rearranged their NBA box score format. It may take a while to adapt.

Noticed that when I was following before I could turn it on. I don't like it more but maybe in time I'll get used to having to scroll across rather than a full screen with pertinent stats. Why they change it 2-3 weeks into the season is a real head scratcher tho.

I like Williams a lot but his hands aren't as good as he seems to believe

Getting stronger would help if he can carry more muscle.

Perhaps. He is still young and really doesn't have a lot of NBA minutes under his belt so it could be a few things.

Maybe it's me, but I don't recall the +/- on the ESPN box score last season.

I thought he was doing good reeling in those loose balls.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

we usually have good 3rd quarters but we've never been up by 16 so who knows

 

[AzStevenCal]

Disappointing close to the half but enjoyable game so far nonetheless. I hope we keep Gillespie or Goodwin out there most of the time. And we need to see at least one of Fleming or Malauch out there in the second half with Oso's foul troubles.

 

[Mainstreet]

No Hayes-Davis tonight is a new twist thus far.

 

[Mainstreet]

I didn't know Allen could elevate that high to block the shot by Kessler shown on video replay at halftime.

He reels them in but he loses them once bumped. Maybe decision making or strength is a bigger issue.

Grayson looking much, much more athletic this season.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

jazz fouling Williams no call

Williams doesn't lose his cool against dirty play far as i can tell

 

[Mainstreet]

Livers will not be back in the game with a reported hip contusion.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

[BooksOrangePlanet]

Livers with a bad hip. Seems like he's a long lost relative of mine. Feel for the kid.
