Road trips are usually helpful for teams that are struggling to get in sync... fewer distractions and less pressure.

This is my hope as well but I will not be looking for results in terms of wins and losses, but rather how they play.

The Suns jump to a 10-2 lead. Chandler is playing like a youngster with 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.

Len not helping much on the pick and roll and Utah is using that to their advantage

The Suns are turning the ball over too much.

Suns up 23-13 after 1st quarter.

Troy Daniels is showing he can shoot.

First QTR:
Booker and Jackson are a little off so far.

Chandler/Warren/Chriss doing well.

Len let the Jazz get back in the game with poor pick n roll D

Len turns on and off like a traffic light. His light is on now.

He has 7 points and 4 rebounds. The game is in the 2nd quarter.

If he can keep it on for a little while maybe we can package him & Bled together???

As Len is on a qualifying offer, I think he would have to agree to the trade.

Booker has not had a good first half.

He had 4 points on 2-7 shooting, 4 rebounds and 4 turnovers.

He also had 1 block and 1 steal.

However, he was clearly frustrated.

Not thrilled with all books turnovers. He needs to be less a facilitator and more a spot up shooter. Play to his strength.

I agree. Expecting a 20 year old to be our best Shooting Guard and Point Guard is too much. Just let him be our team leader at the "2" and leave facilitating to the real Point Guards, especially now that we are playing two of them, not at the same time, of course. :)

I don’t think spot up shooting is his strength. He came out of Kentucky with the reputation of being a dead shot but he proved (a) he wasn’t as good a shooter as everyone assumed and (b) he was much better putting the ball on the floor and driving and creating his own shot. His three point percentage is lower than I would have expected (and likely lower than most fans probably assume it is).
