    Looked like he could’ve been our leading scorer if he had a mins and shot attempt of Holiday

    Maybe this is along the lines of the point you were making but how many current “franchise players” are there in the NBA that were also at that status halfway into year 3 or sooner?

    Bron, KD, Ja, Luka, Tatum, maybe Dame and Ant?

    LOL, I liked Gordon. I think I was in the minority, but he was always one of our best 3 PT shooters, and he was good on defense. It did get old watching him cry about every no call foul, but I could understand his frustration when guys like Curry or LeBron couldn't get a finger touch on them without fouls being called.

    I was tired, but these past couple years I’ve been dozing off during games a decent amount…sometimes I fall asleep in the 2nd and wake up midway through the 4th

    We wouldn't know, Holiday decided he needed to take over.

    Holiday needs to find the bench and sit down. I'd rather see our young guys in the 4th quarter develop their game - Amen and Cam - rather than Holiday trying to work on his next contract by taking ALL of the shots. Sit him down.

    Also, once again, our offense needs some more off-the-ball screens to open our people up. The Suns have Durant coming off off-the-ball screens, why not us? Makes no sense.

    Holiday, we're not here for you to work on your next contract, pass the ball to our young guys so they can develop.

    I popped bottles when he was finally off the team…his game and his yelling and screaming on every tragic drive to the rim irked me like no other

    Might be narcolepsy. That, or you just need more sleep big time.

    Saw everybody on Twitter talking about him popping his achilles. Luckily, sounds like now that was inaccurate. Thank God

    That definitely did not seem like an Achilles injury otherwise he would of had a hard time walking off the floor.

    agreed that Holiday is feeling himself way too much now

    he was honestly annoying me during the game

    I remember one possession he shot a quick three, the rebound got tapped out to him, and then he immediately shot another three that missed

    y’all give it up for the new Von Wafer

    In a positive perspective, Rockets made a couple of runs in the 2nd half and then could not make a stop. They were also without 2 of their best defensive players in the 2nd half (Bari and brooks) so that may have played a role in the lack of defensive stops and rebounds.
    2nd chance points killed us too and that maybe have been partially as a result of the back to back
    Green shot the ball well and he is streaky so maybe he is over his slump

    OK that was my best shot at being positive.

    Some people just have a way of rubbing you the wrong way. Selfish players and lazy players rub me the wrong way. I get irritated watching a ball hog not feeding the guys who are hot, and especially when he's cold. Stat padding at all cost annoys me. But, the lazy players on defense annoy me the most. In my eyes there's nothing worse than being lazy out there on the court. Nothing!

    Way better than Aaron ****ing Holiday who decided to basically freeze him out in the fourth quarter after Cam was the most efficient guy on the court
