blow out loss coming.

Funny stuff on pregame. Eddie Johnson will not say that Steve Nash is the greatest Suns player while Leander and Chamber are in the other corner. I do see Eddie's point that other Suns players were great but I think one has to give it to Nash because he is a two-time NBA MVP. Anyway, good discussion.

 

[Mainstreet]

Some interesting news. Alex Len will play tonight.

 

[sunsfan88]

Rockets are missing both Jones and Dwight. Kieff needs to dominate today, there is nobody on the Rockets who should be able to stop him.

Although Motiejunas is not chopped liver.

Len comes out of the game after only 3 minutes. Wright in the game. Len looked rusty.

 

[Mainstreet]

Houston is getting a lot of home cooking from the referees. Harden put his shoulder into Wright in a drive to the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

Make those FTs Archie. You are looking like the real deal.

 

[sunsfan88]

Although Motiejunas is not chopped liver.

He's not known for his defense.

Appearently, Bledsoe forgot what you guys have been saying about how bad he sucks. 23 1st half points, 2 steals, 4 rebounds, shooting 7-11.

Let's see what happens when Houston switches up the D in the Second half.

Bled was a beast in the 1st half...my fear is, he will be gassed by the 4th

 

[Mainstreet]

Bledsoe with a nice first half with 23 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block, 2 steals, only 2 TOs but only 1 assist.

Glad to see him rebound after the God awful game he had against Pelicans.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. What an exciting 3rd quarter.

 

[sunsfan88]

I'm glad Archie Goodwin is showing me once again why I'm so high on him.

 

[AfroSuns]

Man, the Suns needs to finish strong!

 

[AfroSuns]

Air ball by Price twice

 

[sunsfan88]

Not sure why a guy who was signed yesterday in Price is getting more minutes than Reggie Bullock who hasn't even been given an opportunity to show if he has anything.

Wouldn't Bullock have more of a handle on the playbook as well?

 

[Cheesewater]

I've got a fuzzy feed here...are the officials really just letting the Suns get mugged?

 

[Zobaczcie suki]

Price not ready for prime time

 

[slinslin]

WHY Is Hornacek playing

Bledsoe, Price, Goodwin, Morris, Wright in the 4th quarter?

Can someone tell me? Can Bullock possibly be worse than AJ Price?!

Because Price is a PG.

 

[AfroSuns]

Because Price is a PG.

I still dont get why Bullock has not seen playing time. It is baffling

 

[sunsfan88]

Because Price is a PG.

Didn't seem like one to me with his 4 quick shots, most of them
Air balls.

Regardless, isn't Goodwin being used as a PG as well? He seemed much better than Price.
