    Every player needs to look at themselves in the mirror and wonder why they could barely beat a terrible Suns team,at home, with 2 days rest and with the playoffs on the line.

    Only player that bothered to show up today was Omer.

    ever since he injured his foot, he has not been attacking the rim like before, and when he does attack the rim.. he is overthinking shots, worrying about how he is gonna land

    I was just responding to a guy who said Dragic badly outplayed Lin. I don't mind Lin sharing the ball with Harden, I just think its stupid to point out that Dragic scores more / gets higher numbers when he's the focal point offense of his team and gets much more screens.

    Is that why Lin has a higher FG, FT, and 3-point percentage this season?

    Don't forget they have the Lakers Draft pick so he also helped by giving the Lakers one less team to chase.

    Yep, Commander O'neal have it all.

    Scola and Dragic are terrible tank drivers, Rocket fans know by experience. Suns are lucky to have O'neal.

    Dragic isn't better than Lin. He looks like it against the Rockets, but he and Scola seem to play their best games against us.

    Lin didn't shoot well this game, but he scored final 4 points.

    Jermaine O'Neal MVP of the game. I have no doubt he took one for the team for the front office.

    Thank you Phoenix Suns tank commander, Jermaine O'neal, for the clutch goaltending!!!!!!!!!! :p

    LOL@the reactions at the end. Jermaine and Dragic were close to tears in disbelief and they switch back to Jeremy who was evilly laughing lol TrolLIN strikes again.

    But honestly, could the Rockets have played any worse? No energy from the very beginning. Typical young team syndrome. They expected the Suns, a team who has nothing to play for anymore, to just easily hand them the win, SMH.
    James with them TOs, Jeremy with the broken jump shot, Asik getting blocked like no 7ft'er should, Scola abusing our bigs. Ugh!
    Like the TNT crew pointed out, Rockets just weren't playing with ANY urgency to get the 6th seed, which is very much still at reach.
    Anyway, good on the back and forth substitutions by McHale as the end that got the win.

    Now I just need the Lakers to lose to end my fabulous day :p

    Dragic looks very very average to me.
    Doesn't have great handle.
    Can't create.
    Isn't even quick enough to go around LIN.

    Rockets win! Rockets win!

    He's overrated on here a fair amount. A lot of people just appreciated what he did here and liked his personality. A few like skyrim and anxiety try to drive the point home to much when he's never coming back.

    I do admire his open floor game, though. His ability in transition is pretty unique.

    Lin is better than Dragic and has a much higher ceiling.

    END OF

    We just couldn't get 3 pointers this game and that allowed the Suns to shut down drives into the paint a lot easier. Otherwise this game wouldn't have been close.

    We're not going to have too many games where we go 6-30 from the three point line.

    O'neal in this game was probably as good as all time NBA greats... Bravo!

    Although Harden missed the technical FT, he made the next 2 FTs. Harden great in the clutch again with his 3. He draws more than just fouls. #HardenDrawsGoalTend
