vs. phx: Opponent Game Thread Highlights

Today’s Opponent Game Thread host: Bright Side of the Sun.

Let’s sign Sloan.

I dont want to be over confident
but I really feel like this game is heavily in our favor. I felt like we’d beat the Jazz before, and now without Sloan…its gonna be brutal.
I do feel for the Jazz though. Jerry was top class and nobody could replace him. There’s always the argument that he never won the COTY award. But if you look at the winners of the award, they’ve all lost their job shortly after. Not Jerry Sloan. That man ran that institution and kept the Jazz playoff contenders THE ENTIRE TIME.

Utah has a lack of white starters.

Me: Well, that’s a new one.

Why does it feel like Deron Williams is playing extra hard
to show the world that Jerry Sloan was the problem and not the players?

Maybe if Gentry retires at halftime
ESPN might say something about the Suns

Is this a Jerry Sloan documentary?
Nothing about the Tech

Did you see Hayward’s reaction?
That’s why it was a foul.

There’s been some talk tonight about possible roles for the Mailman in the franchise. How about that one?

Respect to Jeff Hornacek here.

Jefferson just lost his Suns killer license.
by Larfleeze on Feb 12, 2011 1:42 PM CST

I think that left when Amare stopped guarding him lol
by rsavaj on Feb 12, 2011 1:43 PM CST

One of the highlights of the game for me was Karl Malone’s interview
I miss Karl Malone
by rsavaj on Feb 12, 2011 1:48 PM CST

It was just so…Karl Maloney.

Dang. I wanted to keep them under 80
by Bkj on Feb 12, 2011 1:53 PM CST

Hey Utah…..
We’re coming for your playoff spot. You’ve been put on notice.

I can’t see past Deron’s treachery now whenever I think of Utah
Sloan WAS the Jazz to me.
by rsavaj on Feb 12, 2011 1:54 PM CST

So hows about a statement win?
2nd night of a back-to-back, on the road in one of the toughest arenas in the league, against a very motivated Jazz team.
This team is good. Somebody soon is going to notice our defense is badass. >=-D
by jc79 on Feb 12, 2011 2:15 PM CST

Except, no Sloan to direct the offense lol
by PHXSunsRunNGun on Feb 12, 2011 2:15 PM CST

Yeah, once AK left the game and the Jazz lost their energy
That team was teeeeeerrible.
