After the Celtics closed the game to two points, Suns stretch the lead back to nine.

Suns lead 39-32.

Easier said than done. He’s just so slow.

Suns were up 26-10 and the bench gave up 15 straight points.

I wouldn't all that at the feet of Jerome. Suns played poorly without Ayton.

That lineup did not finish the quarter well...not sure what the thinking was there.

Whatever the thinking, I hope Monty never does that again.

Sun's definitely cannot afford to trade for Kevin love, they need that money to buy and entire bench next year to replace this travesty we have now

With Oubre, Cam, and Frank out, we don’t have many choices. But I agree, strike that one from the limited choices.

I just meant our bench is weak in general.

I think you nailed it earlier. If the Suns are going to play four guards together, they better be able to shoot.

Three guards and two big men would have been a lot better.

Like I said a few days ago with the Hawks game , if one of the opposing teams stars is out then their backups tend to have career days against us :pullhair:

Smart is a good player in his own right.

That being said, so much for the light having been turned on for Rubio and Ayton. Both are having horrendous games.

More like feed Booker and Bridges.

Ayton is a poor 4-9 from the field.

Oh, and leave Baynes in Boston. It's as clear as ever that he would rather be a Celtic than a Sun.
