Suns at Rockets

When: 1:30 p.m.

Where: Toyota Center, Houston.

TV/radio: FSAZ, NBA TV/KTAR 98.7 FM

Update: The Suns have lost six of their seven games and haven’t led at any point in either of their last two games. The Rockets are 34-13 and have the second-best record in the Western Conference. Phoenix is 0-2 against Houston this season, the losses coming by 17 and 26 points. Centers Alex Len (ankle) and Tyson Chandler (illness) are listed as questionable. Chandler practiced Saturday but Len did not. Interim coach Jay Triano said he’s not sure whether he’ll continue to start Devin Booker at point guard. Booker made his first start of the season at point guard in Phoenix’s loss to New York on Friday.

Davon Reed has been recalled to the Suns but his status is uncertain.

Len and Chandler are questionable.

Rockets are giving 14 points if you want to lay some money down. Has to be one of the highest point spreads you'll get. Myself, I wouldn't take 25 points. Suns should sit Booker and give him a rest.

I've seen enough of starting Booker at point guard.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not fond of the idea of starting Booker again at PG.

Booker will start again at point guard, Chandler starting at center.

11:08 AM - 28 Jan 2018

 

[Mainstreet]

Bender may play some center today.

Len is out tonight. Dragan Bender could see some time at the 5 against smaller Houston lineup

The game is underway.

Booker opens the game with a 3.

This is the type of team I want to see Jackson in on Harden.

I can only guess but I think we will see it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Harden runs over Booker but no foul.

The fouls do not go both ways.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chriss with three quick fouls. Can't do this stuff.

 

[SweetD]

I like seeing Warren on Paul

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm so frustrated watching Bender and Chriss.

 

[SweetD]

Teams are starting to role off Bender and double Booker. They see Bender is not looking to shoot or drive to the basket.

It's pretty bad.

Bender is looking like a person on the playground who is asked to play so each team can have five players.

 

[Mainstreet]

This tells a story. The Suns need to be more aggressive.

Rockets 11 of 14 from the line. Phoenix hasn't attempted a free throw

1:06 PM - 28 Jan 2018

Booker hits a technical FT.

@sbordow

Booker has made 52 straight free throws. Single-season record is 57

 

[Mainstreet]

Bender should try slashing to the basket on the break instead of running to the corner.

It's not your home Dragan.

 

[Mainstreet]

Warren says I can pick your pocket to Harden.

 

[Finito]

These announcers are a joke holy crap. I've never heard people complain about the refs so much.

I never need to hear " James Harden doesn't get that call gotta call it both ways"

I freaking love Harden I got a pitchfork tattoo but if there is one guy in the NBA that gets all the calls its Harden

I take it you are watching NBA television.

Yeah

Ok

I hope somebody with friends in high places can pass this message along. I am in possession of a brand new unopened Aroma rice steamer. This is a high quality item and I am willing to include it in any deal that gets Greg Monroe out of Phoenix.

I thought Harden fouled Daniels on that loose ball.
