Rockets @ Suns Friday game thread 2-7-20

[Mainstreet]

It looks like Cam will play tonight. I understand Westbrook will not play.

Monty Williams says during his pregame availability that he’s “hopeful” Cam Johnson can play tonight. He’s missed the past 10 games with a quad bruise. #Suns

PJ Tucker will start at center. Have to like it. Ayton needs to take advantage.

Thanks, as always for your GDTs.

And Ayton will still lose the jump ball to PJ.

For the record, I don't give a damn about who wins start of game jump balls. If a player loses one that matters later in a game, I might care if they had an obvious height/athletic advantage but I don't see a difference in how that determines the following 48 minutes of action.

Game about to tipoff.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns off to great start and lead 18-11.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns advantage slipping away with Ayton's second personal foul.

 

[TJ]

Eek, Ayton. That’s the only way Houston’s gonna stop him

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns like Rockets small ball lineup and not doubling Booker.

 

[TJ]

Boat race.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. Suns doing it. Up by 17, 41-24.

 

[TJ]

Devin Booker 13 points 5 reb before the end of the first #NotAnAllStar

 

[Mainstreet]

Oh Devin! He likes not being doubled.

 

[BC867]

Suns are having fun. Small center. No Westbrook.

Booker is not being double-teamed.

The Suns need to be relentless and open it up during the first three quarters as much they can.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Suns 46 - Rockets 26

Decent start to the game, especially for a team that was supposedly going to give up completely.

 

[Mainstreet]

Even Diallo looking good against the center-less Rockets lineup.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Suns are once again DOMINATING a very talented team. When both Ayton and Booker are going hard, it opens everything up.

 

[AZ Native]

I'm not watching it but 46 points in the first Q?

Amazing but true.

 

[TJ]

Lead down to 7. Awesome job, guys

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns do not know how to pass the ball to Ayton down low.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Live by the 3 pointer, die by the 3 pointer.

Yeah too many outside shots
