It's kinda insane that KD is averaging 30 on 50/40/90 and people think he's doggin it, such absurd expectations.

He wasn’t awful in the first half. Actually passed the ball back.

That was a brutal five minutes without booker and allen.

Last game he didn't gave an f on defense. Tonight he's playing much more engaged.

I’m glad book ditched the headband. Headband Book was fun on special occasions but I wasn’t a fan of it as a full time look. Honestly, it’s probably main reason why this season has been such a shit show.

It took until December 28th, but the Suns finally won a game with a full 48 minute effort. They kept the Rockets at an arms length all game.

Well I told myself I wouldn’t be back until they played a complete game.. looks like they did. I’ll be back for Friday.

KD with 16 assists is interesting…41 minutes too. Looks like this game mattered.


For those who watched, did we play differently? The 16 KD assists don’t seem like they happened by chance…also Azubuike with the highest +/-…that flukey? Great Gordon game…we still need to get Booker going.

Kinda disappointed Metu didn’t build off last game. Lost minutes to Udoka it seems.

I watched on DVR so I wasn't able to comment during the game. But it was nice to see Eric Gordon go off against his former team. KD had a nice triple-double. I enjoyed seeing Azubuike get minutes; maybe he's our backup C now. And I liked Little's minutes, especially his dunks; he's one of my favorites off the bench. And I thought we mostly did better running the offense and handling the ball, including playing an actual backup PG in Saben Lee. Nurk didn't give us much, and Book shot 1-6 on 3s and generally seemed tentative, but it didn't hurt us much. I kept holding my breath in the 4th waiting for the inevitable collapse to come, but thankfully they avoided it this time.

"also Azubuike with the highest +/-…that flukey? "

No, he played well ... solid in the paint, like he owned it."

Suns fairly fluid on offense throughout. Jalen Green's bombing kept the Rockets in the game.
Suns outboarded Rockets, 44-33.

The Rockets are a much different team without Dillon Brooks.

Missed the first half but has Udoka earned the 2C spot? Or is Ewwwbanks out?
Yes. Eubanks was available.
