We're hanging tough there. Love the post entries to Ayton. When you see JCraw run pick and roll, you see what we're missing on the floor at PG. He makes the game so much easier for everyone, especially the bigs.

Jackson looks great out there, Oubre too. Bridges looks flat and has had some trouble defensively.

You’re not watching the same game. Rather that or you’re kidding.

Bridges has looked FANSTASTIC defensively.

The sequence he had against Paul one on one with the Rox bench standing watching was terrific.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

Not a bad first half. Glad they kept it close. Josh Jackson is having a good game.

Ayton has Harden alone down low with 3 fouls and no one attempts an entry pass.

Devin Booker REALLY needs to work on his 1 on 1 ball handling if he's ever gonna take another step offensively.

Crazy to think a guy who averages 25ppg has another step to take on that end.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

My biggest issue with him is his tendency to pound the ball and run down the shot clock.

Just move the ball if the shot isn't there.

Whenever our center goes to help, we're fucked.

Suns jog back after the turnover and the Rockets get a dunk.

Holmes is playing pretty badly tonight, and Igor refuses to play Ayton more.

The double-teaming is a poor strategy if we have no plan to secure the rebound.

Oubre has had two awful attempts at finishing in transition.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Mind boggling. When was the last time Ayton closed a game out?

The new toy shine has definitely wore off of him, I think he's a useful piece, but I have 0 interest in paying him when we have Bridges/Jackson.
