Game Day (Early Start!): Suns (8-15) @ Celtics (19-4), Sat 12/2/17

[Split T]

Such a bad call on Chriss. I know he fouls a lot but the refs do him no favors.

[TOO]

LOL Booker got away with one there against smart.

[TOO]

Why the hell did Triano take Booker out on the last offensive possession for Jackson?

[Split T]

60-54 at the half. Booker with 21/4/3 shooting 8/11

Jackson needs more playtime. Trianno's instance on playing "traditional lineups" is starting to irritate me.

He shoots so many wild shots offensively that I'm totally fine that he doesnt play a lot. He just takes bad shots, sure sometimes they go in, but most of the time they dont.

He needs to play.

I think he took him out for defense. Boston just scored in 2 seconds.

[TOO]

Laziest defense I've ever seen. Are you kidding me? 3 straight uncontested shots. GTFO.

[Split T]

Suns just stand there and let smart and horford take 3 uncontested 3's on one possession. Been playing pretty well otherwise though.

[TOO]

Lazy foul on Booker. No reason for that.

[Split T]

Warren has picked Kyrie's dribble twice tonight. That's not easy to do.

[EDC]

Ugh. Another early start.

[EDC]

Come on Monroe. That was an easy two.

[TOO]

Whelp.

[EDC]

Chandler just doesn't care about much beyond his rebounds.

I love how he ends up in that spot just in between where he won't cover the three point line and won't cover the rim.

I would much rather a few goofy post ups from Len each game to actually have a defensive presence underneath.

[TOO]

I've had my issues with Booker, but this kid is ridiculous.

Also, Tatum is leaps and bounds better than Jackson. Its not remotely close.

[Split T]

Nothing super egregious, and maybe I'm just biased, but doesn't feel like this game was reffed very well. Celtics got away with aggressive play, Suns got called for a few ticky tack fouls.

I agree. Suns always seem to be the team that everyone gets all the fouls called against them, and few called for them.

Also, dumb by Booker there to get his last 2 fouls. Meh. Its over now for sure.

[The Bobster]

Good game today - just not enough to get them over the hump.

Chandler looked good, but he and Monroe are pretty useless defensively when the other team runs a high pick and roll (they can't even guard the lane well).

We'll see. Looks that way now, but Tatum is in a perfect situation and was always a more polished player. Jackson was always going to take more time.

Admittedly, Tatum looks better than I thought he would this early and Jackson looks a little more raw than I expected.

That argument doesn't hold any water with me. Tatum is a year younger than Jackson
