Game 24 : Phoenix Suns (8-15) at Boston Celtics (19-4), Saturday, December 2

I would love to win this one.

I think that the Celtics are not that good, not a contender.
They are a playoff team for sure, but Cleveland in the East and GSW, Houston and San Antonio in the West are better overall teams IMO than them.

So I hope that we play a close game against them.

I don't see us winning this. Kyrie is probably gonna put 40 on us tonight. Gonna be interesting to see what kind of looks they throw at Book, you know they're going to do everything they can to not let him have another big game in Boston. I'd just like JJ to have a good showing against Tatum.

On my way to the game to see Booker score a 100 or see us lose by 40 or both

I have a feeling after Booker scoring 70 on them, they are going to make things very difficult for him and for our whole team (though only 4 guys from that team - though 2-3 of them will guard Booker..maybe all 4 of them) . Given how much trouble we have at times on offense, and the fact that they have the best defense in the league, it could be ugly. As personal as Ainge makes things, he may tell Stevens to make things extra hard on JJ, though he usually has a hard time anyway, even when not facing the toughest D in the league, so they probably don't need any extra effort.

But hopefully we play a great game given our two days rest.

I didn't realize this was an early game until I was parking at the grocery store and realized Al was on the radio

Booker to the bench with a knee injury...Not a lot of contact.

Fingers crossed

Chris's looks like he is on auto pilot. He's not setting hard screens or hustling. I hate this.

Booker injured? There goes the game. Lol

I think he's on the bench so it can't be too bad

Mike James and the refs makes the game hard to watch.

He tried splitting a double team and knocked knees with Jaylen.

As ATTL said, he's on the bench with an ice sleeve on it so can't be too bad.

Otherwise this tank is going to quadruple in effectiveness.

Bender looking good.

Jackson looking alright.

Monroe is worthless on defense. I mean he makes Snare look like Rodman. WTF.

Wow over 57% overall and over 45% from 3. It would be nice if we can keep this up.

How the **** is that a foul on Monroe? These refs are TRASH

TJ gets called for extending his forearm into Tatum, but Tatum does the exact same thing to Bender in transition for a no call. Typical.

Return to Phoenix Suns
