We owe these suckers. Can we do it in their house without Booker? Recent history says no but I hope we make adjustments from last time and avoid the huge foul disparity this time.

We owe these guys. Hopefully we can get back on track in this one. Missing Book is tough, but I think we still have the talent to compete as demonstrated in the 2nd Pels game.

Rockets just took out the Bucks.

Silas is still out due to the death of his father.

Early in the second quarter: Ayton, Bridges, Shamet and Lee are a combined 4-28 from the field...

Oh, and the Suns are being outrebounded 30-15.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

If Ayton and Bridges are going to shoot like this, we may not make it to 70 points.

They can't make a basket and they're taking 3pt shots off balance.

We might be looking at a long ass losing streak here. No confidence we can beat clips or NO playing like this.

Ayton air balled a 5 foot shot after front rimming two of the exact same shot. :lol:

Chris is walking the ball up instead of pushing the tempo.

One of the worst halves of basketball I’ve ever seen. Suns look broken. Only Cam Payne, Bizzy and Torrey keeping this under a 40 point halftime deficit.

Choose your favorite part:
Bridges 1-12
Ayton 2-10
Landry 1-6
Lee 1-8
Starters 6-36
Rockets grabbing 11 of their 26 misses
Ayton buzzer-beating ankle injury

They’re playing like they want Monty fired.

We get bogged down playing slow. Things flow, we get transition points and the energy is higher when we're pushing the pace. Takes better advantage of our smaller personnel too. If CP can't play faster, he's gotta sit.

It’s depressing how washed he looks right now. I’d rather Tre Jones than this version of CP.

It's going to be the elephant in the room until something happens one way or the other. I wonder how he'd look in a backup role to Payne.

Biz starting the 3rd after DA hurt his ankle before the half. Payne out too with a foot injury.

Ugly.
