What a horrible experience smh

Regardless…. It’s still a morale victory given it’s the second game on a brutal back to back and the delayed flight. Way to take it to the wire.

Should've had Dunn out there on KD.

He brought us back and gave us the lead. Execution on the offensive end did us in.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 8:37 pmBooker lost this game. Multiple hero ball possessions with misses.

Not mad. Long season. Back to back against 2 of the top teams. Feel like we gave this one away though.

I even told my wife it was gonna be KD when they called the time out…. She pit this loss on me for putting it out there in the universe. Sorry guys. 
Re: Game Day: Suns (21-14) @ Rockets (21-11), Mon 1/5/25
Not sure why we didn’t double KD as well…Book actually almost made that last one. His shot to take the lead though was not good. Too focused on not giving them any time…should have just worked for a good shot

I’m sorry but that’s a gutting loss, man. No way to cut it.
Emotionally speaking, this one the worst loss of the season. Rationally speaking, it is what it is, move on.

Allen getting Bouyea's minutes were the biggest detriment tonight.

It was Grayson who actually had a concussion, not Bouyea. DamnFlagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 8:41 pmAllen getting Bouyea's minutes were the biggest detriment tonight.

Rough, he did take over the end there but overthought that last possession way too much.
Re: Game Day: Suns (21-14) @ Rockets (21-11), Mon 1/5/25
It was like the last 3 possessions that we let the clock go down way too far. Why didn’t we learn at any point? Brutal late game offense. Ott should have put Gilly in for that brutal Book possession too.Wally_West wrote: ↑Mon Jan 05, 2026 8:44 pmRough, he did take over the end there but overthought that last possession way too much.

Why did Book wait so long on his last offensive possession? He waited until there were 5 sec, then he was forced to make a rushed move that airballed long. I guess if he'd made a 2 it wouldn't have mattered, since KD went right down and hit a 3 to win it.
