Utah Jazz swat Shaq, dash past Phoenix

What is with all the empty seats? explanation anyone? I give the franchise 3 more years until it folds

who cares about the jazz. they are an average team that will be lucky to make .500

They looked good tonight. If they can stay above .500, they will be rolling come Christmas when everyone is healthy.

I love the sarcasm, ok but really that was a good game, did either of you even watch it? The Jazz played awesome without D-will and okur, what more could you ask for. They beat one of the hottest teams in the nba.

I am grateful for a win. I just listened to the Coaches defend playing Collins and Price as much as they did. Balloney is all I can say.

We got 0 points and 0 rebounds out of Collins. Koufos played 4 minutes and got 1 block and 2 points.

Price was 1-6 and the team went backwards every time he was in. Further, Sloan put him in the last 6 minutes and tried to lose. Price had 27 minutes.

CJ played great and should have played a lot more. His defense was not worse than Korver or Brewer.

I tend to think Sloan is a very good coach but his game management is really frustrating some times.

No offense to Collins but I wish that KOC would trade or waive him so that Sloan can not play him. Yes Collins did guard Shaq and hold him down some. We got 0 out of the C position from the Centers. Millsap did okay late.

Anyway it is a win. If Sloan can play Price for 27 minutes to "bring him along" as a point guard, he can do the same for Koufos and Fez.

With AK, Harpring,Millsap the team has energy. AK is everywhere tonight!

What's with the negative comments supposed Jazz fans??? By the way the guy who said he gives the franchise "3 more years until it folds" obviously is clueless!!

This team when healthy is one of the top two or three teams in the NBA not just the West.

DWill for President.

Can't wait until he comes back.

the Jazz sell the most season tickets of any team in the NBA? fold in three years? I think not.

This went a lot better than I thought it would. PHO is a hot team. When DWill and Okur get back and playing well this team will really rock if Sloan will play the hot players. This team is very deep. Booz, DWill, AK and sometimes Brewer are top 5 or 10 players at thier positions. Okur is top 15 and playing like top 10 so far this year. Harp is a specialist who does not need as many minutes this year. He is the enforcer. CJ has had a couple of spectacular games. He needs more development and could play better D but he really is starting to look like a steal at 4 mil a year. Korver is streaky but he has played much better D at times. SAP is a horse. I am impressed. Koufos is off to a great start.

Now if this team will just develop some killer instinct on the road they will go a long way.

Hopefully Knight is not hurt bad and/or DWill heals by next game. Knight is probably the best trade KOC has made in years. Price is doing okay. I wish he would dish instead of shoot. His percentage is bad and not getting better. Knight does not shoot unless he really needs to. That is one reason he is such a decent PG.

Glad to see the Jazz remembers how to play basketball. On the road, they just need to learn to (a) fight through tough stretches and (b) finish games.

Does anyone know what happened to Knight? Did he pull a muscle?

Knight pulled a groin. Don't know any more.

you would think we lost this game the comments people are saying! wake up so called JAZZ fans we won by double digits to a HOT team in the suns.. and to say MILSAP did ok hahaha he was a monster! go cheer for the lakers if you are going to whine about a great game.

I think the people who so called Jazz fans and complaining, whey don't you write your true identity and say you are suns fan, and by the way did you see your cactus getting blocked three times in a row, only Jazz can do that.

Kofos is going to be all star one day, if he works hard as Sap, this kid will be a steal for the Jazz, he has no fear.

I think that most of the "folding" comments are spilled over anger from the Real Salt Lake side of the D-News. People are always telling them that RSL is going to fold and they feel the need to retaliate a little against the big boys.

I love both franchises though. :)

We finally got a win. We really needed that after such a bad road trip. They looked great tonight, and that was still without two of our best players. I'm glad Harp is back and playing well... AK too!

Now we just need to figure out how to win on the road. You can say all you want about home court advantage, but I see no excuse for us to lose to the wizards, bobcats, and knicks- then kill the suns. We NEED to be better on the road.

Great win tonight though. That was fun to watch!!

GO JAZZ

It was nice to watch another team do what the jazz had just done four times on the road. Haha, phoenix folded. What lessons can the jazz take from that? It's good to see it's not only happening to the jazz. Of course, the jazz have the fans behind them at home. Whatever, it was a nice victory, especially no dwill and memo, I don't think it's a game they would've won last year. Maybe lhm should get some earplugs for his team when they hit the road, that road mentality of the jazz needs some work.

Nice win, I wasn't expecting to get this one.

If the Jazz counld find a way to play all of their games at home they would be the best team in the league.

If they can't figure out how to do that, they will continue to break hearts, give false hope, and become insignificant in May.
