90043366MM_SUNS_JAZZ_016With 2:38 left in the third quarter Channing Frye hit a three pointer to put the Suns up by 17 points. Yes I said 17 Points. Then the Jazz rattled of 12 straight points to bring the game to within five going into the fourth quarter. I have been a Jazz fans my entire life and can't remember a time when rookies contributed so much to our success. Gaines and Matthews have been unbelievable and we have to give KOC and his team credit for picking up some guys that seemed like they may never make it in the NBA. Matthews had a series of back to back plays when he stole the ball and went the length of the court for an almost one, following that up by a clutch three. Andrei Kirilenko is playing out of his mind. If he gets the minutes he is circa 2004 easy. Its the first time since 2004 that he has had 2 25+ point games in a three game span. He has been phenomenal and well worth the money he is getting paid. Carlos Boozer had 20 rebounds and 21 points shooting 7/10 from the field and a perfect 7/7 from the free throw line. Amare Stoudemire only had 5 rebounds, obviously the effort wasn't there from him tonight. Is he really worth 20 million a year, uhhhhhhh nope. Leftovers- The Utah Jazz moved to the 4th spot last night after their win and the Portland loss. I know we are still three months away but think of all the games in the first half that we should have won. Where would we be, probably the two spot. ESPN's  mock draft Calculator is up in all its glory and the Jazz are consistently getting the 9th spot. I have clicked it more than 50 times and only three times did we move out of the 9th spot. We need some help from New York who have lost two in a row and got pooped on by Dallas the other night, like Bill Simmons said I'm glad I covered my Dallas by 49.5 bet. Jazz are ranked number one in Hollingers Per Diem rankings. Picture 2
