Celtics @ Suns Friday game thread 12-10-2021

[Proximo]

Don’t encourage that crowd.

 

[Proximo]

Because the Suns want Smith to play power forward when that is not his position.

I don’t care what position he is playing a 20% at best 3 point shooter should not be shooting,

 

[Chaplin]

I don’t care what position he is playing a 20% at best 3 point shooter should not be shooting,

It’s the classc suns mantra: if you’re open shoot it.

 

[Chaplin]

24 point game. Wow.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have encouraged Smith to take the 3.

 

[Chaplin]

Finally

Halftime:

Suns 57 - Celtics 39

 

[Finito]

Boston just looks lost.

 

[Chaplin]

Boston just looks lost.

That is putting it nicely.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah not true. Ayton is open at the top of the key a ton, but he is told no because he’s not good enough- or he at least knows better.

smith is a chucker, he is his own worst enemy.

 

[Proximo]

The Suns have encouraged Smith to take the 3.

Maybe in summer league or garbage time, in no way should they be doing so with a game in the balance.

Wow nice 1st half without book ayton hope suns hang on in 2nd half!!!

 

[Chaplin]

Yeah not true. Ayton is open at the top of the key a ton, but he is told no because he’s not good enough- or he at least knows better.

smith is a chucker, he is his own worst enemy.

Ayton plays with the starters. He’s a smarter player as well.

I’m surprised you’re even arguing this.

 

[Chaplin]

We were up big on his last two attempts. So what is In the balance?

 

[Mainstreet]

I'm not saying that Smith should be shooting threes. It's not his game.

However, the Suns have told him him to shoot the three because they were grooming him to be a power forward.

CP3 with 9 assists.

I’m sick of him bricking it.

I want he suns to win.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think the Suns have until January to waive two-way players although I'm not sure.

If so, I think they might want to look at someone to replace Wainright.

 

[Proximo]

I am far from confident with our current available players.

but I do have to say Boston looked hideous in the first half.

 

[Mainstreet]

Crowder makes Celtics pay for harassing Shamet on pass out.

 

[Mainstreet]

McGee with cleanup of Shamet miss.

 

[Finito]

McGee with the rebound and reverse

 

[Mainstreet]

No JaVale.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul with 3 fouls. Also a technical called.
