Rockets @ Suns Thursday game thread 11-4-2021

[Mainstreet]

I can’t figure out if it’s Shamet or Payton that makes our defense suck on the second unit.

Payton had 1 assist and should have had two if Cam Johnson caught the pass.

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet says I'm not the weak link. He has 6 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 36 - Rockets 30

 

[95pro]

I thought Cam was set outside the circle on that charge.

I thought so too. He was well set. Weird calls so far.

 

[95pro]

Payton had 1 assist and should have had two if Cam Johnson caught the pass.

Kind of threw it into traffic. Was kind of low. Was it perfect, no. Was it catchable, yes.

 

[Chaplin]

This team has a serious 3-pt defense problem.

 

[Chaplin]

Nader is terrible. He should have passed that to Cam.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns retake lead after trailing by 1.

Good to see Cam hit a three.

 

[JerkFace]

Cam has not made the leap this season (yet) that I was hoping he would make.

 

[95pro]

Cam just plays so much better with CP3 than Payton.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns making Rockets center Sengun look like a star.

 

[Chaplin]

Cam has not made the leap this season (yet) that I was hoping he would make.

He’s not getting the opportunities.

 

[Mainstreet]

Shamet says I will take that three after it bounces high off front rim and in.

 

[Hoop Head]

Shamet is playing well. Payton needs glued to the bench. Can't wait for Payne to return.

 

[95pro]

He’s not getting the opportunities.

CP3 finds him in stride at the right time. Payton just drives and the wings are usually ignored. Cam hasn’t got the chance to find something consistent from the second units point guard.

 

[Finito]

Nader is terrible. He should have passed that to Cam.

He’s god awful

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are trying yo outscore the Rockets. It's not working.

 

[Hoop Head]

I love EJ

 

[95pro]

Payton comes in and he’s forced to foul.
Can we just sit Payton and Nader?

 

[95pro]

Gordon nails a 3 in front of Payton.

Porter JR scores on Payton.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payton comes in and he’s forced to foul.
Can we just sit Payton and Nader?

At least Eddie likes Payton.

 

[95pro]

Ayton has missed his last 4 or 5 shots in the paint.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Rockets 61 - Suns 56

 

[95pro]

And Ayton misses two more.

 

[Finito]

Not a whole lot of positives in that first half. We might win this but I’m not very confident in this team right now
