Suns @ Rockets game thread 3-30-18

For a second I thought it was Bender and was thinking dang he looks active tonight! And then I realized it was Peters...figures...

And Bender looks heavier as well.

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 25 - Rockets 22

Interesting.

Alan Williams is a load inside. No stopping him when he gets the ball down low.

 

[Mainstreet]

Alec Peters plays good position defense. I didn't realize he has this ability.

 

[SweetD]

Peters showing he will not make it on the team next year

 

[Mainstreet]

If Harrison keeps getting better he will be quite the find. He has 6 points and 3 assists.

Harrison is tough as nails.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jackson takes the ball away from Harden and scores. I like.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns leading by 15 with Jackson doing much of the work.

 

[Mainstreet]

DA has Nash on the roster... Le'Bryan Nash that is.

 

[Hoop Head]

Just turned the game on, surprised to see the Suns leading by 13 in Houston. I thought maybe Harden was out for the game but then saw him on the floor. Should have known D'Antoni wasn't going to rest anyone, especially against the Suns. How the hell are they beating the #1 seed in the West by 13 though? The Rockets put up almost 80 in the 1st half during the last game I saw against the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ulis is looking good. Nails another 3.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Suns 57 - Rockets 40

Yeah baby!

We're 2 wins behind the Grizzlies and Hawks, so 1 win won't hurt but with the last game of the year against the Mavericks they shouldn't rattle off wins early. I think the Mavericks game is very winnable and it would be just like the Cardinals used to do, they'd always win the final game of the season to screw up their draft positioning.

 

[Mainstreet]

It looks like the Rockets planned to coast through this game.

I think they will come back but the Suns have gotten their attention with a bunch of G-league players no less.

This game makes no sense. We're missing half our team... playing in Houston with the second best record in the league...and up 17 at the half??

agreed.

Only the Suns could intentionally tank and tank HARD and still have it not work!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Happy Jackson's playing well tho.

 

[Cheesebeef]

also good to see the light continues to at least flick with Chriss this month.

 

[SweetD]

Jay will put in a line up to start the 4th that will insure an L today. Something like House, Reed, Harrison, Peters and Bender.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm starting to feel good about Chriss again. He has the talent. Just needs to keep doing it.

 

[Mainstreet]

Dragan with a nice 3 point shot.

 

[Finito]

Troy Daniels is in a zone right now. Stil think there's no hope for a Suns win even with them up 15
