    My head hurts. I can't watch 24 more minutes of this junk.

    The main difference (besides the Rockets leaving their heads in the locker room), is the Suns have hit 5 more 3-pointers, some of them ridiculous.

    Glad that half is over.

    We were within 3 so many times and all we did was keep turning over and/or allowing them to score. Luckily they cooled off from 3, and honestly I'm surprised we have more than 50 (and are only down 6), but this is just ugly, ugly, ugly ball.

    No offensive setup, terrible shooting, inconsistent defense, not drawing fouls, not creating fastbreak points, and somehow are outrebounding them, but we're 5/21 from three.

    Its like any positive we have we're immediately offsetting.

    Are the Rockets playing at 1.2x speed since the tip off, or is it just me?

    Something is off with the team. It’s like Amen, Jabari, Reed and Tari just forgot how to play basketball. It’s normal to have one to have a funk for couple games but how weird it’s to loose all 4 players production within a couple games. Looks like G-League level team relies on KD to save the day for them.

    Hell has frozen over -- a Suns team that plays better defense than the Rockets. The enemy is playing with a lot of confidence. Sengun would have made a huge difference because the Suns is a small team.

    Jabari playing hot trash.

    We should have traded Jabari instead of Dillon Brooks.

    i blame KD. im serious.. dude is 7'0 and gives the players the tiniest window to get him the ball. then you have to have psychic powers to know where to get him teh ball since his b**** ass hands are never up.

    He should just fall because they’re pushing him when he try to get the ball, If it keep happening it’s Ime fault not making play to get him easier looks and this is not the first game this has happened, it happens almost every game

    We need some connectors. Get an ultimate frisbee player like Josh Giddey or Anthony Black
