Jason Tatum now QUESTIONABLE.

He is gonna play tonight, all the Celtics available for this game. Crazy, they usually rest a couple guys on every game but they for whatever reason don't want for this one.

Holy ****, the Celtics play the most boring version of basketball I've ever seen. All they do is shoot 3s.

Welp, back to reality. Suns go up against a quality team and the suns are back to zero effort and look completely lost.

Those suns wins were fools gold.
I am such a lucky NBA fan. My favorite team went from the most greedy and racist owner to the most ego driven dumbass owner in all of sports.

Only a fan of Arizona teams!

Can't do much except weather the storm when a team comes out making 7 3s out of 7 attempts.

Back to a 3 point game minutes later.

KD and Book's dumb turnovers are our achilles heel.

A good team like Boston is going to swarm them each time they dribble into the mid range.

You'd think they'd be better about it now, seeing they've both been in a league a LONG time. They're entirely in control of that and yet it happens on the regular, even still.

Bruh, KD has to be the least respected superstar by refs. Constantly fouled, gets ticky tack fouls called on him. Nevermind the phoenix special by the refs of trying to never count continuations.

10/17 from three by the Celtics and we are just 4 points down.

We are playing a very good game. KD already with 16 efficient points.

They will not score 40 threes.

No such thing as Suns home games.

Richards with a nice 7-point swing for the Celtics.

First...too many minutes KD on the bench.

2nd... Richards gets lost in this all perimeter defense. Less minutes for him.

Third...we aren't making some open 3p shots. They have a great percentage we have to make them.

This game is over already. And seeing we know how the third almost always goes...
