Game Day: Celtics (20-5) @ Suns (16-8), Wed 12/7/22

[Superbone]

Bridges should not be playing hurt just to keep his streak alive.

(I'm going to assume it's not just a coincidence that he's been terrible since the injury.)

He tied his career high 6 threes the game after the injury.

[Flagrant Fowl]

All I have to say is: Deandre Ayton is trade eligible in 8 days.

Only KD can save us

By no means is tonight his fault. But it’s a perfect example of how he’s not a max player. Booker is off and our other max player has no impact on our game. Can’t have that.

I don't understand why Monty's plays keep leading to Ayton having the ball ripped out of his hands.

Well, when the Suns shoot 3/23 on 3's they get to sag in as much as they want on defense, and he doesn't do well in traffic.

I don't think the Suns terrible shooting has a whole lot to do with Ayton's poor fundamentals or awareness.

What did DWjr do to Monty’s daughter that he can’t get run in this game?

(I'm going to assume it's not just a coincidence that he's been terrible since the injury.)

He was fantastic in the Spurs game. The game after he got injured…

He was able to knock down threes but not do much else.

Lmao come on, man. He great in the game. This literally the 3rd game since that injury. Everyone looks like dog shit right now. It’s not cuz of injury.

[Mori Chu]

96-54.

[Superbone]

What did DWjr do to Monty’s daughter that he can’t get run in this game?

He’s been injured for a few games now.

[wpmiller42]

How we respond to this is going to say a lot about this team.

[Mori Chu]

102-63.

[virtual9mm]

This is who we are as a team, this isn't the first time we have seen this garbage. And it is Chris Paul's first game back. Coincidence?

[Flagrant Fowl]

How we respond to this is going to say a lot about this team.

I'm telling you, they're going to get smoked in New Orleans. The Pels are rolling right now and they will be ready to pound the Suns, especially if Paul plays.

[BlaCkAdDa]

The only thing worse than watching this game right now is listening to van gundy and co .. .

[Vladimir_Taltos]

We have too many betas on this team. Pussies that have no interest in the ball or punishing their man in big games. When Booker is off we blow. We will go nowhere without another alpha.

LOLZ

Celtics Break 100 Points IN THE THIRD
DA has ZERO FTs...AGAIN

[Uncle_Gene]

Oh well. First loss in the 90s jerseys.

I prefer to think it's the injury. The alternative is too depressing. He's had one steal and zero blocks in the last three games. He's not been the same player.

[Uncle_Gene]

This is reminiscent of the Mavs game 7 loss.

[Superbone]

This is reminiscent of the Mavs game 7 loss.

I was thinking the same thing. I was having flashbacks.

[Vladimir_Taltos]

That's the Spirit!

Hence the last part of my statement.

[Mori Chu]

What are the worst regular season losses in our franchise history?

Edit: worst ever is by 48, in 2017-18.

[JeremyG]

Yeah let's blame DA. The game was tied when Monty took him out and we were down 16 when he came back in.
