Celtics @ Suns Friday game thread 12-10-2021

[Mainstreet]

Suns got some good minutes from Stix when they needed it.

 

[Finito]

If your Boston how come your not trying to get in the Dame sweepstakes?

Boston goes 1-5? On this road trip

 

[Cheesebeef]

Anyone catch Jae just pumping his arms up and down after that Jalen dunk replay? This team loves playing together.

 

[Finito]

Imagine if we had that and McGee. DAMN!

When healthy this is easily top 2 in the NBA.

Even Shamet is a huge upgrade.

Love it. They have their faults but they are fun to watch.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hutchison getting some minutes.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Really good to see Cam come alive after those first two rough weeks. He’s taken a step forward this year. Not a huge one, but one nonetheless.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Love it. They have their faults but they are fun to watch.

It’s also just a team of really good dudes. Very easy to love.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 111 - Celtics 90

[Finito]

This is embarrassing for the Celtics

 

[Mainstreet]

I wonder how 1Sun would pretzel himself right now into believing we are destined to fall out of the playoffs and Booker will be demanding a trade any day now after going 20-1 over the last two months.

 

[GatorAZ]

Payne’s efficiency still in the tank but he did a lot of good things tonight.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix with 7 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

 

[Finito]

A look at some final stats.

McGee 21/15/2
Payne 17/5
Cam 16/6

Dude that’s our BENCH.

 

[Mainstreet]

All the Suns starters were in double figures.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns have a three headed monster at center when Kaminsky returns.

Oh heck, with Stix the Suns have a four headed monster at the position.

 

[Cheesebeef]

We shoulda tried to fleece sacto for Bagley early this year. What Bill Walton had against him is anyone’s guess but since he actually started seeing the floor, he’s been averaging around 12 ppg and 7 rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench while shooting 6 of 12 from 3.

Someone was saying no to the trade. Maybe they knew Luke Walton would be gone.

I was salivating over the possibility.

Btw, if you have guys haven’t figured this out, this suns team is really good. I mean, like REALLY good.

 

[Phrazbit]

Man, James Jones deserves a lot of credit for building the type of team that can demolish teams, even when missing 2 of their best players. I feel like half the teams in the league would have phoned it in tonight. Monty and Paul deserve a lot too, it is great having 2 head coaches out there.

On the other end of the spectrum, hard to believe the Celtics are this listless. A couple years ago they had several young stars, a young highly touted coach and trade assets to rival anyone in the league. Now they're a 2 man team and a really mediocre one at that, running no discernible system and they used up most of their trade assets for guys who didn't even last 2 seasons in town.

 

[Phrazbit]

I'm sure he is telling anyone who will listen that Booker is secretly done for the year, that McGee has ruined Ayton and Ayton didn't play tonight because he is demanding a trade and that we should cash in what assets we have because we will never get beyond Golden State.

 

[Phrazbit]

Btw, if you have guys haven’t figured this out, this suns team is really good. I mean, like REALLY good.

They play hard on both ends, they hustle constantly, they seemingly have no real weaknesses and they really love playing together. It is a joy to watch. I think this is, by far, the most well rounded Suns team ever.
