Celtics @ Suns 11-8-18

Warren will start over Anderson.

Whatever his reasoning, I'm in favor of Warren starting and Anderson not. It's great to have a strong bench but when you're starting 5 is so weak, who cares about the bench. I'm longing for the days of watching our first team-ers get leads and our backups blow it. That's much easier to fix than what we've been watching.

 

[Hoop Head]

There is no way that Igor can say players need to earn their minutes if they want to play while starting Anderson without sounding like a hypocrite. Anderson sucks. He may eventually find his shot but until then he shouldn't see more than 10 minutes a night in spot duty.

Booker will be wearing a compression sleeve on his upper left leg.

The Suns starting lineup will be Ayton, Warren, Ariza, Canaan and Booker.

I don't think it is time to move on.

Remember this same guy who produced 18 pts per game at non horrible efficiency at the end of last year, after starting it out quite badly.

He is completely reworking his shot, and it looks much better. Should just take some time and I think it will be at least average.

The guy's problems are all mental. He throws stupid passes, he runs over people, he takes stupid contested jumpers. Physically he has everything you want and he is not stupid.

I do believe he will eventually get it figured out. At least his problem is not lack of confidence like Benders - it's really too much confidence.

Huh? Non horrible efficiency. Boy, are we setting the bar low. The Front Office has brainwashed us!

Mental problems. Throws stupid passes, runs over people and takes stupid contested jumpers. But he is not stupid.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Times like these I wish we had PJ Tucker still. He was a guy that got into people if they weren't showing any effort. I'd gladly spend the 15M for Ariza this year on PJ, even if he's slightly more limited offensively.

That was who I wanted JJ to turn into for us!

 

[Mainstreet]

On pregame, Brian Scalabrine asks when the Suns are going to see the fruition of being bad.

Brian, Suns fans are asking the same question.

 

[Chaplin]

Booker wants to be a leader, stop blaming every little **** on Earl Watson who btw did not do any worse than either Triano or Kokoskov.

If Booker wants to be a leader he needs to set the tone.

Don’t be obtuse and for gods sake stop trying to pick fights with everyone.

Watson’s lasting influence is cultural. If you don’t get that you don’t watch suns basketball.

 

[Yuma]

The matchup tonight is Canaan versus Heyword. Broken ankle versus broken ankle. Surprisingly their stats were pretty similar.

 

[Yuma]

What is Casino Arizona's WORST commercial? All are pretty bad.

 

[Yuma]

Celtics bitching about their 6-4 start. I think we would ALL take that right now. LOL.

 

[HeHasRosen]

All i want to see is some physicality from this team. They play way to soft. Idc if everyone fouls out. No more free easy buckets. Play with some heart dammit!

 

[AzStevenCal]

What is Casino Arizona's WORST commercial? All are pretty bad.

Philosophers will be debating this question for eternity. I can save them some the effort - there is no correct answer and there is no wrong answer.

 

[Yuma]

whose ankles will Kyrie break first this game?

 

[Yuma]

TJ shooting 46% from three HAS to be the most surprising stat of the season!

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are moving the ball well on offense early. However, they have missed some good shots.

 

[Yuma]

Ayton going to get 20 rebounds this game.

Looking at stats, they only have him with two! That is WAY wrong.

 

[HeHasRosen]

That is what im talking about!
TJ Warren continues to impress me. He is playing excellent defense. And that 3 ball is money

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton is playing well. He already has 6 points.

 

[SirStefan32]

Solid start.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Celtics are shooting 11.1%. That's not going to continue.

 

[Mainstreet]

TJ Warren with 7 points!

 

[SirStefan32]

Morris is such a punk!

 

[Yuma]

Morris is such a punk!

I almost expect it from him...

 

[Yuma]

That seems like a fair ruling.
