Suns @ Rockets

[Proteus]

Dang...I'm surprised nobody has started the game thread just yet.

Come on Suns.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 26-25 after the 1st quarter. Suns shooting 57% with 0/2 3 pointers, Rockets 39% with 0/9 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 4 turnovers (Nash with 3 ), Rockets 3.

Suns have 1 offensive rebound, Rockets 6.

Suns have hit 0/1 free throws, Rockets have hit 6/6 free throws.

This is the 1st game in the last 6 games that the Suns have led after the 1st quarter.

 

[slinslin]

I have the game on but I rather surf some random internet sites. Can't be bothered to watch this no-defense game while listening to Tom Leanders fake enthusiasm.

 

[slinslin]

Are we the worst rebounding team in the history of the NBA? I think we might be.

 

[Proteus]

Nice steal by Childress leading to a fast break layup.

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Suns miss a free throw and the Rockets get a fast break layup.

 

[Bert]

Nice dish from Childress to Warrick!

 

[snowthedirtbub]

Childress needs to do a little maintence on his 'fro, its getting a little wild.

 

[Proteus]

Nice pass from Nash to Hill.

 

[Proteus]

Nice block by Frye on the fast break leading to a fast break layup by JRich.

 

[Proteus]

Nash with 8,500 assists now.

 

[Bert]

Hooray for having Nash back.

Kinda quiets the whole "trade Nash now, we're fine with Dragic" crowd...

 

[Hat]

Good 1st half. Let's hope they can keep it up.

Great to see Nash back. I don't think the Suns could last 1 more game without him.

 

[Proteus]

Suns up 59-45 after the 1st quarter. Suns were up by as many as 16 points. Suns shooting 57% with 4/6 3 pointers, Rockets 40% with 0/12 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 6 turnovers (Nash with 4 ), Rockets 5.

Suns have 3 offensive rebounds, Rockets 9.

Suns have hit 3/6 free throws, Rockets 3/3 free throws.

Good 2nd quarter from the Suns.

 

[Proteus]

Funny Suns cheer pack commercials.

 

[Proteus]

Rockets on a 9-3 run to start off the 3rd quarter (1st 1:45).

 

[Ronin]

C'mon Suns

 

[Proteus]

Nice layup from Nash.

 

[Bert]

I think it's funny how the "Respect for the game" rule applies to Grant Hill who's won several sportsmanship awards, but not to Kobe who throws his fists at the refs EVERYTIME he doesn't like a call. I also heard Lebron scream "Are you kidding me?" at a ref the other night, also with no T called.

God I cant stand Stern he knew this is exactly how this rule would be applied, if he didn't he would do something about it.

 

[Proteus]

Oh geez. Nash picks up a tech a little bit after Hill picks up a tech.

 

[Bert]

lol look at that, Kyle freaking Lowery just did EXACTLY what Steve Nash and Hill did and no T was called.

He's STLL complaining about the call and it's 2 plays later... What a joke.

 

[Proteus]

Lots of Suns players going down in this quarter.

 

[Proteus]

Sigh. The no d team is back as the Rockets have hit 9/14 (64%) shots so far in the 3rd quarter. Suns up 71-67 with 5:15 left in the 3rd quarter.

 

[jagu]

Big three by Frye!!

 

[slinslin]

It was never not there.

The run in the 2nd quarter was a mirage they just hit a buch of 3s and jumpers. They got outrebounded all game it is no surprise Houston is getting back in the game.

The Suns can keep lying to themselves saying they played good against for example LA but the truth is they simply made more than 20 3s and barely beat the Lakers on a mediocre day.
