houston traded for kd because they still had the talent to surround him after doing so - looks like the trade is working for both teams - i hope they get to play full strength this year

Felt like it with all those bricks we were putting up but I think we had 98 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

If I were trying to think of a nickname for Jamaree Bouyea, I'd go with something like "Blade."

The Suns could have certainly built a wall tonight.

@AzStevenCal

It just felt like 78.

 

[Mainstreet]

Royce O'Neale pitched a shutout tonight going scoreless (0-4) in 19 minutes.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

the off ball help coming to double book starts the ball movement - the ball movement creates the lanes and wide open 3s - but we weren't even hitting the wide open 3s tonight- talking nada

Missing from distance changed everything for us and you can bet we'll see even more aggressive 3 point defense in the coming weeks. We need Booker and/or Green.

Did anyone Maluach that dunk?

i was maluaching

From my perspective, the Rockets were always getting a hand up there late on those 3s and contesting what appeared to be good looks.

Yeah but it seemed to me like we were getting pretty good looks early and missing them.

Yes, the Suns early looks were good. They were simply missing.

However, I thought later, there was always a hand coming in late on those otherwise good looks. It seemed to bother the shooters.

 

[GatorAZ]

The Rockets are probably the 2nd best team in the league at full health.

oh the paronomasia... you're my guy 95

Collin Gillespie says the Suns can't let their offense effect the flow of the game and their defense.

[Raindog]

Suns have been weathering the various injury setbacks heroically, up until tonight. There's just a point where you can't keep losing so many minutes from your better players and not have it cripple your team.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Gillespie is going to be a coach, a good one, someday.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

no book no d and no 3s makes jack a dull boy

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

rockets are waaaaaay deeper than the lukas
