Suns @ Celtics Thursday game thread 4-22-2021

[Mainstreet]

Paul isn't playing tired. He has 10 points and 2 rebounds.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Uuuuuuugly

 

[Proximo]

Whoa is this ugly.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nice play by DA to get that board and immediately fire down court to Book for the layup.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Book... man.

 

[Proximo]

Book... man.

I’m not sure I have ever seen him this cold.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I don’t know about that offensive foul, but even without it, Book dribbled it off his foot.

jesus... and now we get a T?

gonna take a major turnaround in the second half to win this... on tired legs.

man. That’s the worst half of basketball I’ve watched from this team for a while (prob because I didn’t watch the Spurs game).

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Celtics 53 - Suns 37

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns shoot only 35.7% and 3-16 from three.

 

[Proximo]

That had to be one of our top 3 worst halves of the year. I see no way we are winning this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns 37 points is a season low.

[Mainstreet]

Kemba Walker (7-8) is leading Celtics with 19 points at half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson is scoreless starting today.

Suns bench has only produced 8 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Can we watch Suns first half highlights and pretend it's live action?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Chris Paul is having to carry Suns again.

Which is crazy. The old man has more stamina than the young guys? Lame.

 

[Mainstreet]

Which is crazy. The old man has more stamina than the young guys? Lame.

Yeah, if Paul is not tired there is no excuse.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

It’s games like these where Ayton’s lack of attack mentality comes to light. In a game where there’s tired legs you should attack with higher percentage shots and free throws. Where do those come from? Typically post play. And this isn’t a Celtics team with large bigs. But Ayton just doesn’t have the dog offensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton has 3 personal fouls. His staying out of foul trouble is key to any chance of a comeback.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Ayton’s bad hands making a comeback tonight.

jesus... this is awful.

 

[Mainstreet]

So Booker to bench with 4 fouls.

 

[az240zz]

Looks to me that the last 3 games teams have figured out how to defend Booker.

 

[Proximo]

This is freaking embarrassing. Don’t think suns get to 80.

 

[Mainstreet]

Looks to me that the last 3 games teams have figured out how to defend Booker.

Tonight I think it's more the rest of the team, other than Paul, not being able to hit the broadside of a barn.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns make a run and cut the Celtics lead to 13 at 68-55.

 

[Proximo]

Mikal is amazing on the fast break.
