Game Day: Rockets (5-16) @ Suns (15-6), Fri 12/2/22

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT/9:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: BSAZ, NBALP

Do I hear seven? Book comes into this one on a two game tear and off a game where he had one of the most prolific and efficient nights in NBA history Wednesday night. The Rockets on the other hand, are coming off a disappointing blowout to the Nuggets. Look for high effort from them.

We do, but we do in regards to our title chances. I think we’re proving that as long as Booker is out there, we’ll stay afloat in the regular season. I’m ok waiting until the deadline if it helps us get something better. We don’t need to rush into trading for just a body. I’m kind of enjoying watching Mikal, CamP, Ayton, Craig, Lee and maybe now Ish take on more responsibility. We need them to develop. It’s also giving Booker a ton of reps as the premier threat and facing all sorts of coverage.

I think Lee starts because he works well with the starters. The Rockets aren't a big team and run a lot of swings, but Smith could be a matchup problem since he's more of a true 4. Eason might be a threat too but he's been quiet so far. Wondering if Monty may try and matchup smaller with Okogie out there at times over someone like Ish if the Rockets run all their wings.

Dario + Crowder just collecting checks.

The Rockets? One of the BEST YOUNG UP-AND-COMING TEAMS in the league. Green? Future HoFer. Porter Jr? All-Star. Stephen Silas? One of the best young coaches in the league. Boban? People's Sexiest Man Alive. This team is a JUGGERNAUT.

Suns have NO CHANCE to win this game. Chalk this one up as a big fat L.

I just think we’re gonna see Saric/Crowder/‘23 1st for someone. It allows us to acquire someone for up to about 24 million dollars. Shamet could be added if we need to push above 30 million.

You missed Inf’s favorite and that other number three overall pick kid. They are as formidable as they come and we will lose to them like we lost to the lowly magic without Banchero.

Saric is playing generally smart basketball but he's passed up multiple open shots that he should have taken. All our scoring basically coming from Book and Mikal.

So many ticky tack fouls…Booker still on fire. 70 in the last 4 quarters

Crap start from Ayton. Hopefully he snaps out of it but…

I’m gonna give Monty some credit here. Ayton is struggling but Monty brought him right back in and clearly told the team to get him the ball.

Do these refs suck or is it just me?
