At times Nurkic is unplayable and good to have Azubuike who is massive under and around the rim.
Good job overall.

It was a good win. Houston might be coming down to Earth a bit, but they're still a well coached team. Suns needed this one.

I still can't get used to Eric Gordon's voice.

Big response from KD tonight after that pathetic Mavs showing.

Maybe that Xmas game embarrassment is what the Suns needed to pull their heads out of their collective asses.

They played last night too, though young guys shouldn't have too much trouble on a b2b...though they had 3 guys at 34 minutes or over last night..34, 37, 40.

They didn't play anyone over 29 minutes tonight.

i think rockets new during the 3rd that this is not their game tonight.
not having brooks who is a good defender helped the suns a lot.

EG has won a few games for us like this one and Knicks away game when he was also hitting everything. Unfortunately at this point of his career he can't do it consistently. KD's stat line is incredible too.

Christmas gift may have come late for Suns fans if they beat Hornets and with Beal back go on a winning streak, but I'll take it.

Azubuike is pretty much untradeable I love the dude.

This was a game we are expected to win.

While a win is good this team needs to play like this more often with more frequency if they expect to go far in the playoffs.

Not sure how anyone can just dismiss this win. The rockets have only lost 3 games at home, by 6, 7, and 11.

We don’t need wins we need championships and sadly our team took 8 steps forward and 24 steps backwards since Ishbia days.

A nice win finally. Hopefully this is the start of a winning streak.

KD was fantastic and Eric Gordon was unstoppable from three.

Good to know that Eubanks is out of the rotation, he had his opportunity and didn't take advantage of it.

Goodwin out of the rotation too. I like him but his inconsistent offensive game was a problem.

Crives · Post #78 » by **Crives** » Thu Dec 28, 2023 7:49 am

I would still give Goodwin an opportunity, just not as a PG.

sunsbg · Post #79 » by **sunsbg** » Thu Dec 28, 2023 8:15 am

There are games when Goodwin's energy is a positive, but they already have Okogie for that. Against Mavs he was complete trash though. He's not someone you trust in a playoff game. Another team may have interest in Goodwin and Eubanks and offer semi decent PG in return.

Finally OVERATED gave Goodwin's minutes to Saben Lee. Saben did nothing special but nothing bad either. He kept the ball moving. He needs to replace Goodwin in the rotation until he plays himself out of the rotation.

Likewise for Azubuike. I have been wanting Saben to be given a chance since the beginning of the season.

They should stay in the rotation while Goodwin and Eubanks stay on the bench as cheerleaders.
