The only thing I wanna know is, will James Harden shoot more FT's than the entire Suns team?

Well, we're playing like crap going into the ASG, so really we just need to get this one behind us. Rockets don't have Dwight, but we are horrible at stopping Harden. I don't believe in the Rockets as contenders at all, but they seem to give us problems. As long as Harden doesn't beat us on a buzzer-beater, I think I can live with any outcome.

I'm hoping Harden is already thinking all-star game and has mentally checked out. Could be a blowout if so.

We look slow out of gates, I'm shocked.

Please stop giving Plumlee the ball in the post.

Bledsoe makes a great defensive play, gets pulled for IT3, IT3's guy scores immediately. Ugh.

Not sure why Bill Simmons thinks this team is fun to watch, consistently embarrassing on national TV.

6-5 his way so far. Harden might get done in by having to sit the last quarter if it continues to be a blowout

I seriously hope IT is the one to go. It's either him or Green. And with Bledsoe and Dragic not being that tall, I prefer having Green's height.

Bold prediction: Suns will make a huge comeback but will end up still losing.

Is it really considered bold when this is the new normal?

So, I don't watch as much as I used to due to fincances, but I thought I'd enjoy a game tonight. Wrong! Maybe I'm too critical in this but the Morri just stick their hand out on defense and draw a foul. Super lazy. and the Rocket defense is just steller because all our gaurds do is drive and shoot. Is this normal?

i find it interesting that bledsoe doesnt do a lot of scoring in the first half, then takes a ton of shots in the second (especially late in the fourth, since he has the ball).

I must say that it is nice hearing a pro-Phx crowd. Great second quarter tho!
