Fuck...

That hurt. However, I didn't expect us to even comeback in that game. We played pretty bad for a majority of the game until about the last 6 minutes or so.

Harden. Dude is a beast. He's gotten much better than even the player we saw last season. I don't ever remember him being a facilitator but he had some pretty great assists tonight.

Never seen it, although I've been wanting to watch it on Netflix.

I'm so jealous. It's amazingly funny. It's like a cartoon arrested development.

Griffin, Middleton and Harden have killed us with buzzer beaters.

On the other end of the floor, Eric Bledsoe missed a potential game winner at Memphis, and PJ Tucker and Marcus Morris both missed shots that could have forced a third overtime against Sacramento.

On the other hand, he's delivered back-to-back dominant performances.

I'm not too mad about this loss. The Rockets are one of the best teams in the league, and we mostly hung with them despite not playing a great game. We have a lot of room to improve still. Bledsoe had a great stat line: 25 points, 9 assists, 8 boards.

The good thing for the Suns is that OKC lost tonight to the Hawks.

...playing without their second best player. Props to the Rockets; it's a good win for them.

I haven't watched the game yet, but looks like an absolutely brutal night from Dragic. And Thomas? 7-20 FGs and 5 turnovers. Ugh.

Dragics got a T in the 3rd and Hornecek benched him for the rest of the game.

But yea....he was bad before that.

You may want to watch the last 5 minutes of actual time in the game...other then that we were playing catch-up all the way through till the end and it was pretty frustrating to watch James Harden shred our defense apart.

Do you guys think maybe Hornacek held out Dragic in order to make him look worse to Houston and reduce the chance that they'd go after him as a free agent? I know that sounds stupid, but hey, lots of FAs get pursued by teams that they torched in the previous season.

I don't think Hornacek is that calculating or that "big-picture."

So close... yet so far.

I was there too. Just wasn't our night (is what I was thinking.) Just goes to show you this team is never out of it. Never quits.

So, YOU'RE the one!

Like they say, good 'O' always beats good 'D'.

It's gotta be something about that last syllable. "in", "on", and "en".

no. of all teams, houston has a familiarity with dragic and knows what they are getting with him.

Heartbreak hotel!

My wife kept complaining about how ugly the beard looked on the Beard. "He looks like a terrorist!"

It was also one of those nights. Howard hits a three and many of their shots got extremely lucky bounces while we were missing layups.
