2 things: Teams know how to play us. If you match our energy and physicality then we kinda crumble. It also doesn’t help we are so injured all the time. That bad luck is clearly catching up to us. I honestly can’t recall a game where everyone was healthy and it stayed that way until it the end lol

Having both Goodwin and Brooks out really hurts, both of them are our tone setters, without them, our energy and physicality really suffer.


Just a lot of bad tendencies and bad luck catching up to us.

Boston has been playing well and with Booker, Brooks and Goodwin out I didn't expect much.

Still, four straight games shooting under 40% is a disturbing trend.

Maluach had a more effective game than Williams. Ott needs to figure that out earlier when Williams is dogging it like he was.

Held Boston under 100, 40% from the field, 27% from 3 and still lost by 16. That's fucking depressing.

The Suns shooting the last 4 games -

vs. SAS - 39/105 = 37%
vs. ORL - 40/117 = 34%
vs. POR - 31/85 = 36%
vs. BOS - 29/79 = 37%
Total - 139/386 = 36%

They're lucky the managed to win one.

I think the Celtics went on a 50-10 run at some point.

We actually were making a nice run in the 4th, got it down to 14, and then Ott put Green and Royce back in and killed any chance they had of coming back.

I’m sorry but Royce is a solid spot up shooter but otherwise he stinks. Defense is horrible. No shot creation. He looks good when surrounded by good players but totally exposed when asked to play above his weight.

With these injuries, I'm a little more than concerned how it's going to go the rest of the year.

I’d prefer to see him get traded if it comes down to him or Grayson.

We're playing with some juice tonight. Green's been awful just ISOing and killing clock, but we've been playing really well with everyone else. We need CG to be aggressive and try for 20+ points a night until Book is back. He got to look for his own shot and has been so far. Grayson helping out getting into the paint but some questionable shots too. He's shaking off some rust. Coffey may be in line for more minutes.
Well, we looked like we had a chance for a half of basketball. Rude Celtics fans started a Celtics chant around the arena in the last two minutes of the game.

Williams has had a soft few games in a row.
0 points 2 rebounds and - 10 at half.

Have a talk with this man. He's too big to play so poorly
Yeah, he looked bad tonight. The opposing center would just go over him to get the rebound. He was just kind of...there.

Feels like he's hitting the equivalent of the rookie wall. He's never played this many games before and he's not adjusting to it well at all.
