Thanks for the support guys.

And yeah, other then his poor shooting in game 2 (no idea what happened honestly)... he has been a beast. If he develops a post game easily a top 5 center in the league(in this game lol.)

Anyways should have a few games out tomorrow. Was surprisingly busy over the weekend and today was... well monday. Tomorrow I should be able to get 1-2 in. By the way, I'll be playing most games unless at the end of the year I clinched and the games mean nothing and are simply a waste of time lol

Suns vs Jazz Links: Game Stats

UTAH -- Down in Utah, the Suns and Jazz faced off. The Suns, still winless, hoped to get their first win but were still missing the explosive guard of Eric Bledsoe. It likely did hurt them, but not as much. Dragic stepped up and got 39 points-- and 17 in the 4th. Thomas had 13 points and 12 assists, as they held out the toughened Jazz in a 109-106 nail biter. For the Jazz, Favors 12-14 shooting, 26 points and 11 rebounds just weren't enough to do it for them today.

Gerald Green would be starting again over P.J. Tucker today, and he started off rough as he got blocked going for a dunk. But overall, his day was much better then that. He was perfect in the 2nd quarter shooting wise and had 11 at half. He started off the 3rd with a huge dunk. To add on to his huge day, he had a huge dunk in the 4th that kept it at 1 possession. Green ended the game with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. He only had 1 turnover and shot well as an overall 7-12 rounded out his day. Tucker shot bad-- as a 3-9 wasn't what he needed, but he had 5 boards and 2 clutch free throws to save the Suns from going to 0-3.

The Jazz started it off with two buckets to make it 4-0, but then the Suns dropped it in to get on the board. The Suns went on an 11-2 run before Burks made two free throws. After swapping baskets, the Suns went on a 7-0 run, which was stopped when Booker made 1/2 FTs. Another three from the Jazz put them within 6, and a layup had them on a roll. That was until Morris slammed it down to gain momentum. But the reserves couldn't hold the big lead, as by the end of the 1st it was 25-24. The Jazz managed to take a 40-37 lead, but a Dragic and Green bucket got them the lead. Another bucket made it 44-42. Then, two horrible things happened. First, Burks bruised his tailbone, but then Hood shot a three-- and nailed it-- but fell backwards due to the defense and got a concussion.

By the end of the 1st half it was 52-51, Suns in the lead. 20 of those 52 had come from Dragic-- and many of his points came off Thomas' 5 assists so far. Both teams stayed with each other, as no one took more then a 2 point lead through 6 minutes! But then the Jazz stretched out to a 7 point lead. But a huge Morris dunk gave the Suns much needed energy. By the end of the 3rd, they were only down 3. In the 4th, the Jazz managed to take a 6 point lead to continue the surprise showing! Then they got a bucket to make it 4, but Kanter made a free throw to make it 5. But it wasn't over yet as Dragic got a dunk on a fast break to make it a three point game!

Then, Dragic hit a three to continue the 12-4 run and tie it up! Both teams swapped buckets again to keep it tied, and this game was surprisingly close! The Jazz got to a 3pt lead but Thomas got a steal and Green got a dunk! It was 101-100 Jazz, and Green was in a 1 on 1 fast break... but the dunk can't go in due to stellar defense! Wow! The two teams couldn't get a bucket to break the streak of empty possessions. Then the Jazz missed and Dragic got a layup! Suns lead! THEN ISIAIH THOMAS GOT A STEAL! MAKE IT A THREE POINT LEAD! The Jazz missed, got a board, missed again, the Suns drove downfield and made it a 5 point lead!

But then Burks nailed a three! The Jazz were down two! With 25 seconds left, they fouled. But they had a foul to give, and stole it! Burks drove in and MISSED! HE GOT THE BOARD AND MISSED AGAIN! THE JAZZ JUST HAD A HUGE CHANCE AND FAILED TO CONVERT! They fouled Tucker after and he went to the line and he nailed both to make it 108-104. The Jazz missed a three but got a huge put back to stay in the game! Thomas avoided a foul for 10 second before heading to the line. HE MISSED THE FIRST ONE! Then he hit the 2nd, but the Jazz had a chance to tie it and go to OT! Hayward shot and it went in.. THEN OUT! Suns win 109-106!

Tucker, Thomas, to fight through injuries and play Lakers

PHOENIX, ARI -- It was bad news when everyone heard Thomas may not play due to a sore ankle from the Jazz game. The same went for P.J. Tucker. But luckily, both will be playing according to the players as well as private league sources.

Thomas, dropped 13 points and had a career high 12 assists in his 2nd game stepping in for the injured Bledsoe. Tucker, who didn't have the best game, is still a big bench asset and an energy creator for this team. But the Suns training staff always prevails, as due to their skills, both should be on the court against the Lakers as they look to move to 2-2.

To be exact, Tucker bruised his tailbone and Thomas had an aggravated sore ankle.

Bledsoe Injury: Suns Organization Gives out Details

PHOENIX, ARI -- In Phoenix, good news was announced. To add on to two of their top players playing, Eric Bledsoe gave a statement to the press and the Suns organization announced their plans, and how soon he could be back on the court.

Bledsoe got injured halfway through his first game, and it was reported as a Torn Achilles. At the time, he had 14 points, 2 steals, a block and an assist. Last year, Bledsoe had a major injury that sidelined him for the rest of the year after playing 43 games. He averaged 17.7 PPG, 5.5 APG and 4.7 RPG. The three years before that, he played low numbers of minutes, and learned under top NBA point guard CP3. "It is tough." Bledsoe said. "You know... being out for a lot of time. But this trainin' staff is awesome and they been getting me back up to speed." Most achilles injuries would take longer then his, but this training staff is supposed to be the best in the NBA.

"We think he can be back in three weeks." The Suns trainer said. "He has been working hard and we have handled stuff like this before. Eric is itching to get back on the court and we're gonna help him get there."

Thanks! Also thank you to all followers. This isn't dead guys, I have just been really busy with real life stuff and it is tough playing 11-12 min quarters and 48 min games. Hopefully I can get a post out sometime soon, possibly today. Once I get that game in I'll probably be able to get back into it and get through week 2.
