Supposedly there is an illness going around. Chandler was down for the count. Booker also had a touch of it and was questionable for the game but, played.

Like I said, if he's contagious, that's certainly a legitimate reason.

The only moral victory we got from this game is that we didn't let that long Asian dude score and let his fan club erupt.

I hope that dude doesn't get voted in as an All-Star starter in the West.

Probably a done deal already. He has a billion fans in China waiting to vote fifty times each.

Zhou Chi. He's a good pickup for a late 2nd round pick. He's got good bball instincts, like a poor man's Dragan Bender. I saw in the highlights that he blocked Len's shot.

Hey, there were plenty of moral victories. We played in a historically high scoring game.

Yeah, if you just looked at our side of the stats, you might think we had a good game.

Booker, Bender, Jackson getting assists, Chriss continuing to get blocks, Len and Monroe grabbing the rebounds, Daniels and Jackson and Ulis with better shooting nights.

I actually didn't hate our play in this Rockets game. They're a way more talented and better team than we are right now; it's fine with me that they beat us pretty badly. I thought a lot of our guys had decent overall games offensively. Good debut for Munroe. Decent game from Jackson. Booker played well for a guy who's fighting an illness. etc.

I don't know if I've posted this here before - definitely elsewhere - but saying Refs fall for it as actually doing Harden a disservice; he's the fastest braker in the league and uses it to his advantage:

It may be a good play, but it is not fun to watch.

Not disagreeing, just that the refs aren’t entirely ‘falling for it’ as he’s so fast it forces a legit foul, meaning they have no choice but to call it...Other players simply can’t do what he does.

So yeah, paying the skill, not the way it looks.

If Booker was Harden you'd all love him. Stop it.

Fine, but I am allowed to dislike him as a non-Sun.

Very much so. His celebrations on our home court rubbed me the wrong way as well.
