Just in case anybody was still debating the most valuable addition of the off season...,.

This is what I hate about having so much time off. Always seems like teams come out flat when they do.

Yeah that but I also think it's more about no Rubio to settle the team down and get some easier shots in the second quarter.

Man I hope Jerome is ready to contribute when he gets back. Not having anyone outside of Rubio that can effectively run the offense is proving to be very bad on nights like this.

25 - 11 = 14 more games before Ayton returns.

Tom Chambers at halftime uses the metaphor, "That's like kissing your sister."

Ugh, TC. :(

Having flashbacks of last season during that first half...

Hopefully they come out hard in the 3rd.

The Suns are like a ship with no rudder.

The Suns were outscored something like 20-4 to end the 2nd quarter.

Without Rubio, we're out of synch.

We shouldn’t be this bad without Rubio. We are getting outhustled. Oubre and frank are playing soft. Cam is missing everything. Booker looks like he’s letting smart into his head. Second unit is WOOF!

Baynes is banged up. Nice run by the Suns to cut the lead to 9 points.

We need other guys to bang with Baynes. He's not gonna make it to Ayton if he gets beat up like this every game.

I will never understand fouling a 3 point shooter.

I'm not sure the Suns have a player outside Booker that can shoot lights out to get them back in the game.

This is a game where I'd like to look at Jared Harper if he were available.

Makes me wish we kept the 7th and had Coby White as backup

Maybe the reason he got his rest today.. this was gonna be a tough one even with him. This team isn't ready for a team like the Celtics yet regardless..imo.

End of 3rd quarter:

Celtics 80 - Suns 65


Really disappointing is the Suns defense.

Man, I am having a flashback to last season. Should have turned the damn game off when I saw Rubio was out.
