Something looks wrong with Baynes. Like he can barley jump

That’s why you call time outs Monty so you don’t just hand a team momentum

We have no scoring out there currently.
Rubio taking fade away 3s.
Celtics finally figuring out they just need to attack the rim

Lead is gone

That’s on Monty. Bad lineups bad management.
He went for a defensive lineup when we need points

Fuck fuck fuck

Rubio, Jerome, Carter, Bridges and Baynes...not a fan of the lineup. The Cs are tough because they have a lot of guards and swings, but I wouldn't play into their hands/style.
I think it’s due to injury. Oubre, Cam both out

Hard to blame Monty when his only other option is to play the starters 48 minutes

Carter is ok as a spot up shooter...should never be asked to run the offense though

The timeouts are up to him.

But yes I’d ride the starters hard this game. We have a real shot at a win with the cletics injuries.

Tuned in late, hadn't realized Cam was out. Even so, give Sario and Ayton more minutes tonight to have a size advantage.

Also it should be fairly obvious to JJ that we can’t have this many scrubs pgs on the bench. Otherwise this is what happens. As I type this carter hits a few 3s

Go over screens and then no help defense. And it’s dunk
How is that a defensive strategy? Celtics are shooting poorly. Go under the screen

Especially as Ayton isn’t great defending the PNR yet. He’s made some big strides as a help defender and 1 on 1 defender, but he struggles in the PNR

No one made an attempts to cut to get the ball in

Suns start to get fumbly is also when the refs let other teams manhandle us.

The starters are doing their job. Gonna have to survive those bench lineups somehow.

Heads up play by okobo to bridges there.

Sorry to say I get nervous when we have a first half lead
But please keep riding booker and ayton and call a timeout if they get 3 buckets in a row.

My bad. Didn’t score for the rest of the third quarter after I said that.

Smart has 5 threes. Do you think he can keep it up? I haven’t seen him enough to know if he gets streaky
