Valley of the Suns

Friday night's game in Phoenix between the Suns and the Jazz was confirmation of many of the things I've thought about these two teams. Some of them I've even put in writing.

• The Jazz are a much better team this season on the offensive end. They now seem to have the firepower to eradicate a 15-point deficit to get back into a game.
• The Suns are a live-and-let-live outfit that will let the other team get back into a game, if the other team is willing. The Suns gave up a 15-point third quarter lead and got out-boarded on the evening 48-32.
  
• The Jazz do not defend well from inside. Kurt Thomas was 5 of 6 from the floor.
• Andrei Kirilenko can be an all-pro if he produces points. His 17 points and 14 boards were key to the Jazz' 108-104 win.

2-0 is a great start for the Jazz. 3-0 when the lights go off Saturday night is a real possibility.
