Cowardly call. Should have been Harden's T, not a double. Unless Booker said something out of line which isn't beyond belief by any means.

No surprise, the last 8 free throws have gone the Rockets way. We're such bullies.

it's crazy how many shots the Suns have missed at the rim tonight.

This game really pissed me off.

montys insistence on playing ty Jerome and frank cost us a very winnable game.

Suns need a center that can finish up misses and score inside.

Oubre, Bridges and Cam Johnson are solid at small forward.

Well if we don't miss 10 free throws we might have won as well.
Primarily, Booker missing 5 out of 16 and Oubre missing 3 out of 7.

That's 8 out of 23 free throws missed from our Wings (top 2 scorers).

Uncharacteristically, missing free throws can be attributed to weariness.

Otherwise, the Suns played a good game against a tough team. But it
looked like they were playing down to our level. Pacing themselves?

played an upper echelon playoff team tough majorly shorthanded. good enough for me as long as they come out and win 2 of the next 3 at home.

Yeah, but the rotations are totally under montys control.

Ty Jerome sucks. He does not deserve the minutes he is getting.
He's trying to play Jerome into shape. I suspect it will pay off later in the season as he should be much more comfortable by then.

Tonight illustrated just how bad draft night was. Saric didn't contribute much, and Cam Johnson and Ty Jerome were flat-out awful.

Still don't know that I trust James Jones as GM. The next big move will say a lot, in my opinion. If, for example, he gives up anything of value for Kevin Love (as if we're not already way too unathletic)...
