Do you want him to pass up a layup. The Suns need more of this.

Azubuike - get that poo outta here!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

KDB, Goodwin, and Eubanks don't even get garbage time. Wow

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Bol with the BLOCK!!

Eric Gordon's voice doesn't match his face.

I didn't know Boban was in Houston. We were robbed of a Boban vs Bol² matchup, dammit!

You kinda want a team built like this to battle each other for minutes. In a good way. Azubuike is taking minutes, not backing into them. I think Goodwin and Eubanks will come back. It's like Ej says, those guys have to get back to what they do well. KDB is kinda surprising. I wonder if he's got a nagging little injury. He had a good stretch there for awhile.

 

[Phrazbit]

Very good win.

Durant sure plays a lot better when he doesn't play slow as molasses.

Hey now - got me wondering if I'm the jinx

Boban brings the snacks, though.

LOL!

I give Durant credit. After looking terrible on Christmas, he found a way to bounce back this game and look like a future Hall-of-Famer. Whether it was an attitude adjustment or just dumb luck doesn't matter. We can't be choosy at this point.

They knocked down more 3s than us and we had 19 freaking turnovers and still put up 129 and blew them out! Just let that sink in Book was just ok with 20/7 tonight but they looked like a different team! They looked like they were having fun and just playing together maybe the best complete game they have put together all season, very few lapses…

Point KD > Point Book

OR, it was just Houston.... OK, sorry to be Debbie Downer.

I don't think you want to do that too much. KD is a finisher, not a setter.

The Rockets were 12-3 at home coming into this game. They're a good young team that is a year away. I think they can be next years OKC.

OK, I'll buy that!

Well maybe you should pay more attention… Houston had beaten its last 11 western conference opponents in a row they said. Have a winning record and a young athletic team that’s beaten some solid teams. And it wasn’t just that we won it was the way we played and guys looked happy and not disfunctional besides some turnovers. We built a huge lead and kept it lots of encouraging stuff from this game period!

KBD must be in the most massive dog house. Dude can play.

I can see he was talking poo about Vogel, then saw KD and Book's faces, and said, "Coach is right behind me isn't he?"

 

[BirdGangThing]

I was kinda worried about Gordon speaking to the press like that - but I got home as the game was ending - then they interviewed Gordon - then they cut the interview a little short because there was people waiting for Gordon - those people happened to be his former rocket teammates

This tells me I probably don't have to worry
