Rockets @ Suns game thread 11-16-17

Every team not named Golden St will fade eventually.

Nah. First an Eastern conference finals with Kyrie against LeBron is going to be fun, if the Cavs make it that far.

A Boston/GS finals will be competitive. And Boston is still without its second best player.

If Jackson could learn how to dribble, and pass, and shoot...he'd be amazing!

 

[SirStefan32]

Jackson should not be allowed to dribble the ball.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

It is truly impressive how Len can be -25 in 14 minutes. Bender basically a non contributor. Mike James a negative across the board.

 

[JCSunsfan]

This team is young, sick, and undermanned tonight. Learn young men, learn.

 

[JS22]

Not this way. The Suns are not playing competitive or exciting basketball.

Also the young players are not getting anything out of it except frustration.

I was being sarcastic.

It's how I pretend to not be dead inside while watching this terrible team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson is showing he will be a contributor, much more than Chriss and Bender are showing.

I know.

To follow the Suns one has to have a sense of humor and appreciate sarcasm.

Sometimes one has to laugh to keep from crying.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

How many times is Bender going to be stuck on Harden?

I like Jackson...he shows a boat load of potential...especially if he can get the nuances of the game. Chriss is just dead weight to me, and Bender can show he will be a good guy off the bench, but certainly never starter material.

 

[Folster]

Dantoni is such an idiot. Harden shouldn't play a minute in the 4th quarter.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Disagree on Bender. He will be a starter in this league and on merit.

Monroe is decent

Pringles may be annoying but he isn't an idiot.

DA used to play Nash to exhaustion. It used to drive me crazy.

Why in God’s name is no one interested in defense? Why has someone not put a shooter on their ass?

Has anything been said about Hayward making a return if Boston goes deep in the playoffs? I know he broke his leg and they've said he's out for the season but the season is 6 months long. He might be able to make a return for the playoffs or in the later rounds.

There are too many shooters on the court already.

Golden St will hammer both those teams in a series. They're deeper now with Bell, Casspi and Swaggy P to go along with Livingston and Iguodala off the bench.

At least with Nash it was a unique situation due to his back. Harden really shouldn't be playing

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Monroe can score but he plays zero defense. I’ve been keying on him. He doesn’t challenge drivers. I know he plays below the rim and is not a shotblocker but you gotta at least make the shot more difficult than a clean layup.

Jackson just plays too fast for himself right now. He’s got to work to perfect his craft but he plays hard.

Booker gets very little respect from the refs.

Bender is invisible. Chriss is worse than invisible tonight and I’m beginning to lose hope for him.

James is awful.

It’s too bad Troy can’t do anything but shoot threes. He does that so well.

Ulis just might be too small to be effective in the nba.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monroe with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Edit:

Change that to 20 points and 11 rebounds.

 

[Folster]

Harden still in...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Paul went to the practice court to run sprints to get some cardio in bc he didn’t have to work hard enough in this game. Did he even sweat?

 

[Mainstreet]

At least with Nash it was a unique situation due to his back. Harden really shouldn't be playing

I agree. However, I don't think either player should be played that hard outside of the playoffs.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Jackson is really going to be a player....
