Horrible win. Just bad. It’s like when the Cardinals got off to a 5-2 start and everyone knew it was fools gold. If you don’t win the right way, you didn’t change anything you just got lucky.

Chris and Devin have got to stop iso balling and turning it over. Fucking play the system.

We won this game because of Deandre.

WTF was that foul on Ayton? Do the refs have money on this game or something?
Seriously, they were pretty all over the place the whole game, but seemed to be at least equally bad for both sides...down the stretch it mostly went all to Houston.

Did Nwaba have an old Harden jersey on?

Refs were just brutal tonight. They had money on something. Just a terrible display of officiating

That was an unsatisfying win. The only good thing about it was Deandre the Dad Dicker.

I am surprised this game wasn't extra long and actually fit in the normal time slot
Seemed like there were so many whistles and stoppages

That ending was ugly; I have no clue what Chris was doing with that one shot, some kind of half-ass Reggie Miller attempt?

I'm sort of drunk right now, as I type this, but what do you think we would get for Booker and Paul?😅😂

Trying to draw a foul...then just threw it towards the hoop to give Ayton a shot at the rebound...if we’re thinking of the same shot.

They did only have 1 TO in the 2nd half. But way too sloppy at times

OK , so sauce gonna have that Oubre energy for the starting back court
Kool dude
They had 9 turnovers in the first half, so what do you want me to do praise them?

They need to pass the fucking ball and stop trying to impress each other
Lol
Like I said I don't expect your demeanor to change hence y I referenced Oubre
Your takes are extreme bro, nobody says their play is flawless but you are hardly rational when you ready to dig into an argument or try to prove a point so like I said
Do you
I haven’t been wrong when I’ve decided a player is not a winner.

I don’t know the draft but I damn sure know when players just don’t have “it.”

Bender still sucks.
Chriss blows.
Josh Jackson is a nobody.
Kelly Oubre will soon be on his fourth team.
Len is not in the NBA currently.
Lol man you're all over the place man
Not sure how this is relevant to the backcourt unless your opinion is now that they are not only playing terrible but also not winners

Wow didn't look at the box score but can't call this one of his empty stats lines that's for sure

They just seem to have a weird protocol that playing basketball against someone Covid positive or under investigation isn’t an issue, but if you dap them up after the game, you’re out a week. Seems a little crazy Memphis was allowed to play us when they had a player test positive a couple days prior...now it seems more Grizzlies players have tested positive. Hard to see how that doesn’t impact us...nba seems to really not want to cancel nationally televised games though, so I’d guess tonight’s game is a go.

Aye, laddie, that we are. What say we give an assist to ol Christopher then, eh?

Ayton was solid, as he should be ... Wood is small for a center and the corpse of Boogie Cousins is maybe a work in progress.

With a smaller Rockets team, where the hell was Langston Galloway? Suns needed another shooter with Cam Johnson cold ...

I like Monty, but he shouldn't be so robotic in his substitutions. If a guy is having a hot game, keep him in ... Payne in the second quarter.

5-10 horrible shots combined as well. Just stop trying to be the hero. Play the system.

When they’re on the court together it’s magnified because if it’s not one of them doing it then it’s the other. When it’s just one of them it’s tolerable because everyone else moves the ball.

Yes I am getting a chuckle that the board has gone from Payne seems like a good guy you can root for but maybe as a 3rd string PG, we shouldn't count on him off 8 games in the bubble to now folks want him to start wow
I went to bat for the guy all off-season that he will be solid but man lol

But yea anyways I agree with you tho Laz that Monty does always come back with CP3 to end the quarters and it is not always necessary as u said.
