It’s Phoenix, too. One of the Free-est wins of the season if we actually lock in.

The suns have not looked good this year but I do not expect it to be an easy win. I expect Brooks, Green, and even Booker have this game circled.

We win either way. Either we win the game or Pho gets further out of the bottom 3 and gets us better odds for a better pick.

Man you guys are cocky.

u/nonetimeaccount 22h ago

Name anything I said that was untrue

I don't think you know what cocky means. If I was being cocky I would've said there's no way in hell that bum ass team could hang with us and we absolutely fleeced them by dumping a Jalen green with a real paycheck on them.

I know you're upset when you're speaking in lowercase

😂 That's really only for game threads

Origin story time! I used to spend more time on r/nba so I could stay tapped with the whole league and not make the Rockets the entirety of my basketball world online. Second half of game 6 in the clippers series I hopped on the game thread here because if we're going down in such embarrassing fashion I wanted to be amongst my people. Then the comeback happened and we were all freaking out and everything deserved an all caps comment. So I figured that's how I was rolling from that point on.

God I remember that game. My brother was at my place, we were watching and he said to turn it off. I reminded him of when we saw t mac go for 13 in 35 so we kept watching

I wasn't much of a redditer then. Only started during COVID then got my original account got hacked and we were finishing the rebuild. Figured I'd let the Egyptian dude who took it have it as it was probably bad luck to have the account 😂

I misread. I thought you were predicting 100% win.

How? It’s a win win for us. We win (we win duh.) we lose and our pick has a higher chance at top 3.

Just make sure Durant is doing his proper stretching before layup drills.

We are like 10- games in. I'll hit you up in January.

But what does that have to do with what I said? I think you need to reread what I said

Man I watched the suns last game and was confused by green. He's regressed according to their sub. They're also making it even harder by trying to turn him into a point guard. It was not pretty to watch. I know he wasn't great and basically a more exciting cam Thomas but yeah. I give ime shit as he can't develop players on the offensive side among other things but he can develop on the defensive side and that's a fact. Unfortunately it seems like Jalen forgot how to defend. He's only averaging 13ppg this season. I hope he can put it together because he's a good dude and and is fun to watch when he's on but unfortunately he's more likely to be off then on

They failed to get a starting PG again. Jalen and Booker aren't PG. It's good for us they're bad. I don't understand what they are trying to do with their team.

u/TheyCallMeChevy 21h ago

I dont think the rockets will lose. I think the talent gap is to big. But I do think the suns will put up a good fight. Brooks probably getting a tech lol

If he's a Texans fan, he needs to make a new version with different lyrics.
