Game 22: Phoenix Suns (10-11) @ Houston Rockets (14-7)

As much has Oubre aggravates me he is just to valuable to trade. I keep forgetting that he's only 23 but at times think he is 26. I just wish he passed better and improved his 1.6 average to around 2.5 at least.

I don't mind if Oubre continues to play with a tunnel vision gunner mentality, i just hope he can be a bit more crafty with his floaters and layups around the basket, he misses too many point blank shots, he needs to have better control of the ball when trying to lay it in around the basket

I'd say he just straight up gets blocked more than misses those shots. He needs to control his body more and incorporate pump fakes to get the defender off their feet before going up. There's been tons of times he's been blocked by like... 3 or 4 opposing players on a drive at the same time.

Bridges has improved a lot as a cutter, he is almost as good as TJ Warren in that aspect now.

The way Rubio is helping Mikal's game, let's see what he does with Ayton. 4 games left.

Really good game. W would have been nice but playing a title contender like the Rockets on the road in a close game is no easy feat.

Hope they continue to play with this level of effort against Minnesota.

PS hopefully Baynes comes back so we can see less of Kaminsky.
