Cool to see Gerald Green, Joe Johnson and PJ Tucker all on the floor together. Coached by Mike D. Hope they get their ring this year.

I'm confused how ulis is suddenly a good player again.

Just tuned in but it feels like the Suns have lulled the Rockets to sleep with their pace. Sometimes 2 teams playing fast can just feel like practice.

Live by the 3, die by the 3. Houston just needs to get hot and they will cut the lead in no time.

Next year they will be the "we believe" suns and knock off golden state in the first round.

Always nice to get in shape for the last 10 games of the year. Seriously though, playing in games should get you into shape real quick. Shaq would always come in WAY out of shape (in his prime) and would be in shape by mid season or so and then be unstoppable.

I think its a combo of being out of shape and sulking because he wasnt starting anymore.

If shaq harrison can get a respectable 3 point shot he'll be a great bench player.

Shaq Harrison with a respectable 3 point shot would be Patrick Beverly or Avery Bradley. I hope he’s able to do it.

Nice to be on the giving end of a player revenge game for once.

Wasn't he from Memphis, though? I think the Rockets Troy is another one.

It's a sad sight when Ulis is getting posted up and there's no help coming.

I can't believe Sarver didn't extend Joe Johnson for 6/50 in 2004. We would have had him through 2010. That decision will always irk me as one of the worst...that and trading our draft pick that same summer. We didn't even have to sign Q. Dumb.

He was on the Rockets too a while back. Had a huge, huge moment in the playoffs, beating the Trail Blazers with his game winning 3.

Oh, I thought he was being confused with Troy Williams.

Forecasting more posts in this thread after the game then during the game, whining about our useless and fun win

There's no way we win this. Even if it means employing hack-a-Harden.

Yeah, I figured we would still win 1 or 2, particularly with the Kings and Mavs games still coming up, but didn't expect this. We still may finish 3rd worst.

But the thing is, sitting at 3rd, as pissed as people will be, we could jump to 1 or 2. For some reason if we have the worst record, I expect us not to get one of the top two picks.

But of course if we finish 3rd worst, we could also end up with the 6th pick, so I'm not advocating for that obviously.

And he is actually shooting 63% from the line today, so...

Yeah, I was thinking if they got it down near 10 by start of the 4th they'd win, but we were up 17 when I made my last post. After making that post I look up and it is an 11 point game at the break.
