Suns @ Celtics Friday game thread 12-31-2021

[Mainstreet]

The Suns head out on a three game road trip. They start by playing the Celtics in a day game on Friday, New year's Eve.

Afterwards they play at the Hornets on Sunday and the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Celtics are 16-19 and have lost their last three games.

Suns are 27-7 after coming off a win over the Thunder.

The game will be televised on Bally Sports Arizona.

Start time is scheduled for 11 a.m. Arizona time.

Boston is the most infuriating team to watch. With the talent they have, they have ZERO teamwork. 4/42 from three point range. Jaylen Brown with 36 shot attempts and zero assists.

It's funny you should mention this. I found this tweet about the Celtics missing shots. I hope it continues.

No injury reports as yet but I'm guessing the Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum due to health and safety protocols.

I think Ayton, Crowder and Tatum entered protocols around the 26-27th.

Watch the Celtics start hitting their shots (all layups) against the Suns

The Suns interior defense needs to be fixed before the next game... please.

 

[Mainstreet]

Once an opponent gets confidence by making layups it gives them the confidence to hit the 3-pointer as well not to mention shooting over a sagging defense.

Celtics bring two words to mind for me - dysfunctional, and inconsistent.

 

[Mainstreet]

JaVale McGee has been added to health and safety protocols.

I will wait to see if it happens but it sounds like the Suns will sign Justin Jackson to a 10-day hardship contract.

He was on a 10-day contract with Boston. Maybe he is still in town.

I am pretty sure Crowder technically can clear protocols tomorrow if he is asymptomatic...

I wonder if he and Ayton are even with the team or if it isn't worth the rest of having them on the plane.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Tomorrow could be comical.
