That loss is on Igor. Pure and simple. We had the game won if we just fouled.

And the home crowd gives the away team a great ovation. What a time to be alive.

Ayton hasn't had a shot attempt of rebound in a while. I'd like to see Holmes give him a break in the 4th.

Tough to see us give up the game even though the Celts gave it to us ion the first place. I really wish we had more 5 guys with some fight in them on this team.

We draft a C #1 overall, and Igor runs like no plays for him ever, just terrible man.

This isn't fun.

The 1st quarter kinda was.

To much trying to milk the clock down the stretch, the failure to foul on the last possession of regulation, and Boston just heating up after shooting miserably the rest of the game lost this one for the Suns before they even played the overtime.

One last observation: Okobo and Bridges miss a lot of "rookie misses." Those shots that they'll hit when they are stronger or just more comfortable with NBA speed. The box score doesn't look good, but they are both players.

I'm sick of it. He's playing within the offense, which is probably what he thinks he should be doing, but the offense is giving him no opportunities to score. We have easy points available with him and we aren't going to him in crunch time. Stupid.

That's the way it is when your team isn't competitive. Plenty of tickets available for the visitors and not a lot of enthusiasm for the home team.

Kyrie was unbelievable. But the Suns also couldn’t stop any penetration in the 2nd half.

Positive: We didn't get smoked.

Negative: It was still embarrassing.

He looks great setting those screens 25 feet from the basket though.

Can we say bad things about Igor now? He is clearly mentally not ready yet for NBA coaching.

Can we trade Jackson for Kyrie? Is that trade still on the table? LOL.

Oh yay, we lost. Glad I didn't waste my time.

This was Igor’s worst display of coaching so far. Canaan guarding Kyrie in crunch time is just absurd.

Yea this is my first time to be critical of him
Just checked play by play. I said Canaan was playing in the flow of the offense when we were discussing him with like 4-5mins left in the game. He checked in at 11:30 left in the game, with his shot off there was no reason for him to play the last 16mins. He looked gassed

Agreed on Ayton, we ran one set to get him the ball

Not fouling has to be the coach decision and I'm not sure what good reason he would have for choosing not to

Yea man they made me curse in a post sigh
Being up 15 in the 4th a moral victory was no longer valid for me. This one definitely sucks

I just don't get it. Igor was here in the Gentry/Nash years when we always fouled up 3 because of a loss that happened under D'Antoni due to not fouling. I thought it was like a Suns rule set in stone now.

Mikal playing instead of Canaan in the 4th quarter would have won us the game.
