Rockets are just a tougher, smarter, more talented team

They're a better all around team than us when we are at full strength. As it is now (down 2 of our better players), the only reason we'd be competitive even in spurts against teams like the Rockets is when they fall asleep out there. Fortunately, good teams occasionally do fall asleep when they face a clearly inferior foe.

Another miss by Kaminsky. What was that 1-7 at the rim?

 

[Hoop Head]

Westbrook just killed Frank... I'm surprisingly ok with that.

Why is he even on the floor right now? Diallo at least gives us better interior defense.

I agree.

Hey we got guys who can get hot but Rockets are a scary team...yikes

And scoring.

 

[Hoop Head]

Well I guess he's not dead, that's a shame.

 

[BC867]

Suns down by 4 with 6:30 to go
in the 3rd quarter.

Hang in there, guys.

For as long as you can.

Yeah I think we've lost something like 18 of our last 20 against them.

Harden is giving us a chance

 

[dscher]

He's been a nice addition for us but not having Ayton makes his absence look bigger than it really is IMO. It's just like with Nash, Steve was incredible but not having a decent backup made him look even more valuable.

Agree. But I was just talking about his energy and passion that he brings to the court that seems extremely lacking without him out there.

Kamisky is a smart player and the Suns need his size. It's just frustrating he is so limited athletically. When he misses inside he cannot even fight for the rebound. When Frank is on he can do more than Diallo.

Good qtr by booker other than that long long 3 lol

Booker keeping suns in gm

 

[Mainstreet]

No sympathy for the referees. Missed foul against Oubre.

 

[AzStevenCal]

It probably won't be enough. I don't know if this is true but I heard that in order to save referee legs for the postseason, Silver has suggested they just give the whistle to Harden in the 4th quarters.

 

[dscher]

Two lane violations in one game.. don't remember the last time I saw that.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Welp harden going off now

 

[dscher]

Kevin Ray needs to shut up with his Booker free throw jinx already

 

[WildBB]

Two man game with Kaminsky up top is shreading Suns D.

He should rotate down with someone else when Capella is setting his picks up top.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Rockets 83 - Suns 78

 

[Mainstreet]

Oubre needs to shoot better than .500 from the FT line.

 

[SactownSunsFan]

Beautiful attack and dunk by Oubre

 

[Mainstreet]

Rockets are beatable tonight. The Suns really need Baynes and Ayton back.

Ombré is more explosive than he was last year.
