Even undrafted Brad Wanamaker beating up on the Suns.

Ayton and Rubio both not playing spells big time problems... It’s not like the team had a chance to prepare for Rubio being out as he was a last minute scratch.
They’re totally out of sync...

Well if the law of averages kicks in, the Suns should drain about 10 threes in the last nine minutes. :D

Go Al!

In reality the Celtics are bigger and stronger than the Suns. They are beating them up.
Actually they are just bigger at the wings. Otherwise we have size advantages in baynes, saric, and kaminsky. But we haven’t been able to benefit from that bc kaminsky is the softest 7 footer I’ve ever seen, saric keeps missing layups, and baynes just isn’t athletic enough. And the Celtics have a ton of athletes. We aren’t an athletic team.

Worst game of the season. Please get healthy Rubio

Celtics have some big bodies though and are knocking the Suns off the ball like bowling pins. They are playing aggressive defense. Fifty-fifty balls are going their way.

If Rubio can't go the Suns might want to bring up a point guard.

Well, I suppose there is no shame is losing to the best team in the league, especially when you are missing two of your three best players. Shake it off and go beat the Kings by 30 tomorrow.
