They were just torched by Buddy Hield, and were a Marcus Smart buzzer beater rolling off the rim away from squeaking that one out.
I think the Suns and Celtics are very similar, which will make for an interesting match up. I really want this one so Bill Simmons has something to bitch an moan about.

The Celtics look so much happier now that the toxic Kyrie Irving is gone. I don't know why so many people predicted that Brooklyn would be one of the best teams in the East this year, especially with Durant out all season with his injury. I like Kemba a lot better for them and their system. He's leading them in scoring, averaging 23.8 ppg and 5 assists. Too bad for them that they lost Hayward, who seemed to be just hitting his stride 100% again after his previous injury.
I think they're overachieving a bit and that they are not quite as good as their current 10-2 record. Jaylen Brown is averaging over 20 ppg and that seems likely to fall. Taytum is also shooting under 40% on the year. Nice team with a lot of young athletic talent and a great coach and system. But they're beatable. We can win this game.

I honestly can't believe they're 10-2 and had won 10 straight but they've had kind of a soft schedule up to this point (NY twice, Mavs, Ws, Hornets, Cavs, Wiz). They're well coached and play well together. Smart is going to give Book all he can handle. Rubio will have his hands full with Kemba. Kanter just came back and gives them some nice size up front but gets killed defensively on the perimeter so that's where we can really take advantage. Just don't want a guy like Brown, Theis or Carson Edwards killing us.
EDIT: Just came across this a few hours ago and sure enough the Cs have had any schedule. I think they're record's a little inflated. Hope we beat 'em up, Booker has like 40 and Simmons has to hear about it.

Book generally goes off on the Celtics; I just hope for support.
Maybe a Cam/Mtikal showing??

Bostons luck is about to run out.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Suns generally have struggled to beat the really good teams. I see a L here. Suns are good, but they're not that good.
Re: Game Day: Celtics (10-2) @ Suns (7-4), Mon 11/18/19
It ran out last night. In and out and hang on the rim and then fall out at the buzzer. We're just going to extend the bad luck.

OK, let’s do this. Jevon Carter is starting in place of the injured Rubio. We have to be considered underdogs without Rubio, but we can still win.

Wow, no Rubio. That’s going to be tough.

Celtics came out flat early. Suns need to take advantage by getting some good shots and building a lead. They should try to push the pace also. Celts look tired from the long road trip.
I’d make Theiss try and stop Baynes

Yea no Rubio due to back spasms. Carter is starting and the offense is a little choppy but both teams are missing a lot of shots early on.
Re: Game Day: Celtics (10-2) @ Suns (7-4), Mon 11/18/19
Why is Rubio out?

Booker's had at least three shots go half way down and rim out. He'll eventually get his, but we're gonna need another guy to step up and get some buckets tonight.
