Suns @ Celtics Saturday game thread 1-18-20

[Evil Ash]

Mikal Bridges with a nice half with 10 points and 2 steals.

All of our starters were good for the most. Our bench on the other hand ...

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton (4-9) made a tremendous difference defensively in the first half. He had 11 points, 8 rebounds and a block.

Baynes was not effective at all.

It's easy to see why the Suns lead evaporated without Ayton.

 

[Proximo]

More like feed Booker and Bridges.

Ayton is a poor 4-9 from the field.

Oh, and leave Baynes in Boston. It's as clear as ever that he would rather be a Celtic than a Sun.

you do realize 3 of those misses are from bad lob passes.

He is playing fine.

Bridges and Carter had some nice shots that first half. Booker and Ayton will need some help in the second if we are going to win. No Oubre and Cam hurts.

Jevon Carter (6) was it.

 

[SunnyBaller]

Smart is a good player in his own right.

That being said, so much for the light having been turned on for Rubio and Ayton. Both are having horrendous games.

11 pts 8 rebs 1blk is a horrendous first half?

It is if you are 1sun. He picks his whipping boys and rags on them unmercifully unless they play like an all star.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with a corner 3 to start 2nd half.

 

[CRC83]

Bridges...picking up where he left off!

 

[Mainstreet]

Celtics really look to get the ball away from Ayton down low. He needs to keep it higher.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges again!

 

[Folster]

Bridge's stroke is looking pure.

Glad to see the Suns reopen a lead before the end of the half.

We kept control throughout the 2nd half right to the end in our last game.

It would be great to happen again.

Especially against another team playing short.

Edit: But Boston goes on a run.

 

[Folster]

There you go Ayton. He can't guard you!

 

[SunnyBaller]

Is that 5 free throw attempts for ayton so far!!!!!!!

4-9 shooting against a team that doesn't even have a center.

 

[TJ]

D-Book + Ayton = Light-Skinned Kobe & Diet Shaq

"Fine" is a relative term. After the Knicks game against better front court players, I was expecting more.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton (27 minutes) looking a big fatigued. He has played well with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

 

[Folster]

Good to see Diallo in there instead of Jerome with the 2nd unit.

 

[GatorAZ]

Too many fade aways. You’re bigger and stronger than everyone.

Lmao, what does he have to do to play well for you?

cause he is going to finish with 20 plus and 15 boards?
Is that still horrendous to you?

 

[Sunstroke]

Booker's crappy shot selection have kept the Celt's in the game.

 

[Yuma]

20/20 at the Garden for Ayton?
