Phoenix Suns at Houston Rockets, Nov 17, 2009 7:30 PM CST
Apparently, there's some sort of sporting event being played tonight in Toyota Center! Let's converse about it, shall we?

Super lame
League Pass has the Phoenix feed. I don’t want to listen their homers. I want to listen to ours.

What's funny is...
that I was actually hoping to listen to the Rockets’ feed to learn some more about y’all. Good luck tonight. I hope the Rockets play well enough to lose in a dignified “moral victory” kind of fashion. Feel free to pop in and say hi over at BSOTS.

Not that it matters at all
but shouldn’t we consider jumping Trevor Ariza instead of Scola?
by jack_ on Nov 17, 2009 7:47 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I thought about that
I have no idea why they don’t.
by Only_A_Lad on Nov 17, 2009 7:48 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, it doesn't really matter
if I remember right, there’s like a 1% difference in winning percentage, but that’s probably just because the team that wins the tipoff probably has the more athletic center.
by Only_A_Lad on Nov 17, 2009 7:52 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I was surprised that it made any difference
your center theory is probably right.

The past two years, though, they’ve been pretty good from my perspective. Of course, I completely understand why opposing fans hate them.

No 3 pointers made in the 2nd quarter from us

Just an awful 2nd quarter - D just evaporated
Go on, try to beat them. Try to score on them. Stay in front of those guards. Try to tap out an offensive rebound on that Lilliputian front line. They're so awful, you're so good ... go on. Beat ‘em. - Kelly Dwyer on The Rockets

Channing has 4 fouls.
And Frye out of the game spells instant trouble.
by Moondebah on Nov 17, 2009 8:59 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Channing’s been a nonfactor so far… is that because of D, cold shooting, or both…?

I keep having to switch between the radio and lp

We live and die by the three unfortunately
died tonight. 9-25 from three.
by goingforthecorner on Nov 17, 2009 9:53 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
and they blew wide open threes
shit happens. And it never helps when Crawford is on the court. The foul calls essentially become random.
by Only_A_Lad on Nov 17, 2009 9:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I believe the free throws are the real reason. Phoenix was only 6-21 from behind the arc.
by DribbleHooper on Nov 17, 2009 9:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Phoenix getting 15 more free throw attempts might’ve had a bit more to do with it.
by DribbleHooper on Nov 17, 2009 9:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe that disparity would be smaller
if we didn’t take so many threes. Just a thought.
by goingforthecorner on Nov 17, 2009 9:56 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Only took four more than Phoenix.
by DribbleHooper on Nov 17, 2009 9:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
That being said, your point has merit. More dunks/layups/drives for fouls might’ve been in order.
by DribbleHooper on Nov 17, 2009 9:57 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
not really
the rockets work it inside, too
they tend to stay away from shitty midrange shots. and 25 to 21 isn’t any kind of real disparity, here.

Would you agree that since our team thrives a lot on effort and preparation, we’re gonna lose to a lot of good teams we’re meeting for the first time. And that we do better the 2nd time around? That’s what happened with Portland and LA.

It’s mere coincidence that the games against the two teams they’ve played twice have been split evenly.

Correction, we play Sacramento Sat Nov 21
and Dallas will be our game after that. We play Minnesota tomorrow and Atlanta on Fri.
Gosh, who should we crucify at the NBA office for giving us such a schedule? (Meanwhile LA plays 17 of their first 21 games at home.)
I consider Minnesota and Sacramento as teams inferior to us, and Atlanta and Dallas as good teams.

we are on the right track and besides were above .500, I think the low of averages caught us against the Suns and of course the questionable & intriguing calls from “Berdugo” Ref named CRAWFORD.

We are playing against 7 players, and the one player has a whistle in his F***KNG mouth.
He indeed the court general on the floor who’s making controversial calls. CROOKFORD literally “Controls” the game.

I’m sicker over this loss than I probably should be. Sure, we “only” lost by six points… but this game was entirely winnable, even with taking 20 more shots than the Suns and only making two of those twenty.
I realize shooters go through slumps, and have off nights… but that doesn’t make me feel any better.
