I would just leave DA in until he gets 6. Make him play through the struggles, the foul trouble, and the bad refs.

The calls are pretty atrocious so far. Ayton off to a slow start but to me a lot of that looks like he isn't getting catches. I'm rooting for Saric but he looks plodding out there and has bricked all 3 of his shots. Nice to see Wainwright having a positive contribution so far.

I’m watching on a phone, so it’s not a great view, but it feels like everytime the rockets drive it’s a foul and never when the suns drive

I just started watching up to the first timeout. Looks like Book is still in a zone coming out of that Bulls masterpiece.

Just leave them all in and make the refs adjust or dare them to foul them out!

Donaghy was right. Most refs hate the Suns.

There was even a take foul committed against Bridges right in front of the ref with no call.

Yea those refs had an agenda in the 1st half. Whatever it is, we need to adjust. They seem to be rewarding the Rockets for their aggressive play and are taking DA out of any comfort zone. Feels like they're testing him, let's see how he and the rest of the guys respond. Book is getting his but isn't happy, Mikal needs to work inside more, Cam needs to drive more, and maybe Ish needs to play more. Dario doesn't look terrible IMO but his misses have been costly for us.

The Rockets' length seems to be bothering us and they're playing faster than we are getting offensive rebounds and extra possessions, which are hurting us. This is probably where we miss TC most against a team like this.

17 fouls on the Suns, 8 on Houston
6/6 FT for the Suns, 18/25 for Houston

That's got to even out some in the second half or I see some technicals coming.
