Suns @ Celtics Friday game thread 12-31-2021

[Mainstreet]

Thanks for the reminder I woulda totally missed it. Now something to do midday/morning

I was pretty slow moving this morning and then I reminded myself there was a early game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Here are the starters for both teams and the players out. That's a big front line for the Celtics.

I'm expecting the Celtics to pound the ball inside with their starting five. They have a lot of size.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's nearing time for tip-off.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Layup. Sheesh

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix hits a mid-range shot for Suns first points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Smith hitting the boards.

 

[Chaplin]

This game is terrifying.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

That’s not afoul on the tip in attempt?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Cam knew that was a hit

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson with the three!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Book taking bad shots

 

[Chaplin]

So weird seeing Horford guard Bridges.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Can’t even get inbounds. Yuck

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

So weird seeing Horford guard Bridges.

That’s where his lack of ball handling really hurts. We should be able to exploit that matchup but Bridges can’t take him off the dribble in isolation.

 

[Dback Jon]

That should have been a clear path foul

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges with the three.

 

[Chaplin]

That’s where his lack of ball handling really hurts. We should be able to exploit that matchup but Bridges can’t take him off the dribble in isolation.

Well considering how bad he’s been offensively, not a big deal.

…and he hits a 3 as I type this.

 

[Chaplin]

Smart play by Book.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix is not backing down which I like. He is challenging everything.

 

[Finito]

Stix with the block on Brown

 

[Chaplin]

Stix is not backing down which I like. He is challenging everything.

Yes but that is potentially very dangerous.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout with Suns leading 12-11.

 

[Dback Jon]

That was over and back

 

[Mainstreet]

Wiiliams is huge player.
