Rockets @ Suns Saturday game thread 12-21-19

[Mainstreet]

Suns win tip. Game is underway.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see Baynes hit a 3 pointer early.

Suns playing with energy early.

 

[Phrazbit]

Man, Eddie Johnson needs to rest his throat, dude has been sick for like a week. He sounds like Barkley right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker needs to play defense against Harden with his body, not his hands.

 

[Phrazbit]

What is the foul there? I loath watching Harden play.

 

[Mainstreet]

Saric foul Harden on 3 pointer. Why, why, why?

 

[Mainstreet]

What is the foul there? I loath watching Harden play.

That foul by Booker was all on the referee.

 

[Phrazbit]

James Harden is on a one man mission to ruin in the NBA.

I have no idea how he gets these laughable calls night after night after night. You literally are not allowed to be within reaching distance of him when he shoots.

Welp, this just continues to be lost season for Ayton. Terrific use of his low salary. He’s not even learning at this juncture with his missing 89% of the games due to suspension and another 7% lost to his current ankle sprain. Yup, that number is north of 96% of games missed thus far. Bravo young buck.

On the bright side, the longer he’s out the longer we can delude oursleves into thinking that he’s a potential star.

End of 1st quarter:

Rockets 36 - Suns 35

 

[Mainstreet]

Do you not get an assist for a goal tending... Jerome pass to Booker basket goal tended.

Okay now they add the assist.

 

[Mainstreet]

Okobo is playing well. He has 11 points

 

[Mainstreet]

I can't believe Harden gets that call but that's what the referees do.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Rockets 70 - Suns 65

 

[1Sun]

Cam Johnson -9, Ty Jerome -14. Nice draft, James Jones...

Maybe the lesson to be learned, foul Harden hard since they are going to call it anyway and get your money's worth.

Although we may lose this is game, I'm happy with the effort and the swagger being back. This is the first time in a while where they looked like the team that started the season.

Also nice to see Baynes being himself again. He was awful coming back from injury

Put Cam and Jerome in the G League where they belong, and it would be even better...

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre is having a really good game. He has 19 points and 3 assists thus far.

 

[Bufalay]

Cam Johnson -9, Ty Jerome -14. Nice draft, James Jones...

Bradley Beal had a -7 tonight. He sucks too.

 

[Bufalay]

Bradley Beal had a -7 tonight. He sucks too.

Morant had a -19. Good thing the suns didn’t get him.

 

[1Sun]

Bradley Beal had a -7 tonight. He sucks too.

The difference is that Cam and Jerome are pretty much a guarantee of a double digit minus in any game they play. This isn't just a bad game for them.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker doesn't get much respect from the referees.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Rockets 106 - Suns 95

I know there’s no point arguing with you, but beals avg plus minus is -5 and cams is -1.4.
My point is that even over the course of a season it’s a misleading stat. You using it over the course of 8 minutes or whatever is...odd
