Game 11: Celtics (6-4) @ Suns (2-8), 7:00pm

[DRK]

Moral victory: after getting stomped by the Nets we hung with the Celtics. To be fair, theyre a better team than us. All in all, the score was respectable. The numbers were respectable. Just the collapse was epic. I get it. But I'm still staying positive. We are a few plays away from beating a better team. Like Kerrsed mentioned, a couple free throws go in and we win in regulation.

No moral victory. This is a game we shouldve won.

Piss poor play from the team (outside) of Booker is unacceptable. Did we even have a coach in the Q4 and OT?

The team needs to have a long hard look at themselves. Most spineless group of players Ive ever seen

Imagine blaming Booker for this loss

[Kerrsed]

Ayton didn’t score at all the past 24 minutes of the game ..... gotta be better .... his passiveness is frustrating me so much

His passiveness? Excuse the f**k out of me, but NO ONE COULD GET HIM THE DAMN BALL ALL GAME! He finally had to step out to the damn 3 point line just to start getting touches!! Passive my ass, he was constantly calling for the ball deep in the post, but none of our guys could get him the ball and instead would just keep passing it around the perimeter.

Seriously. Absolutely frustrating to see a dude get great position all game long only to not get the ball.

........And great to see that adding Rozier would do absolutely nothing to help that at all!

Booker needs to demand a trade.

Man shut the hell up. Suns fans are **** pathetic with the whining this season. Why would anyone want to see the best player this team has seen since Nash left leave?

[_79_]

Also, Canaan is a **** idiot and Igor is a **** idiot for having him in over Bridges the entire 4th.

[STEV13]

A team that relies on Isaiah freakin Canaan for big minutes down the stretch isnt a respectable team at all

[alldayeveryday]

Got to send Igor back to **** Slovania

I’ll be the first to complain about XYZ but calm down.

If they dont do something drastic he might.

Yeah, if Book makes his free throws we win. Booker going Kobe at the end and trying to run down the clock was dumb...that is not Igor ball. they need to stay with their offense that got them there.

That being said, after getting killed a ton, it was nice to see us play like this tonight, despite the way Booker played at the end causing the loss along with Canaan bricking 3s.

I had to log in just to say that Igor is the worst coach I have ever seen in my life in any sport at any level.

Goodnight fellas. I need a drink.

"Stay thirsty my friend".

[Melon Yellow]

I know I said earlier that as long as we were competitive I'd be happy, but the way we collapsed tonight was just massively disappointing. I expect better direction from Igor as well. We should have put this one away.

I don’t want him too, but it’s in his best interest to get out of this shithole.

Can you really blame him?

[RaisingArizona]

We need a PG, PF and a coach!

Then it's in your best interest to stop watching and stop wishing for bad things to happen for this team.

[denial]

Our assist numbers and rebounding is so much better than the past few years. Our team work and play in general is just so much better. People talking about Linsday Hunter are you fkin kidding me? Do you seriously remember us back then? Blaming Igor, or anyone, doesn't make sense.
It was a team collapse. Everyone got scared and didn't want to lose the lead. The only one who had balls was Booker. Yeah I chucked a couple of bricks. But its because everyone else got nervous. This was a team loss.

You forgot Sarver selling the team.

[NE1Care]

I am a believer in the coach or I want to be but starting to walk the ball and play the clock at the 4 minute mark is on him. Terrible, just terrible call for this team that was playing on energy. You take the energy away and make it an isolation game where Irvine excels. This one is on the coach.

[bwgood77]

Did any of us actually think the Suns would pull this one out? I mean... seriously. If Booker was the one making the decision to run the clock down with 6 minutes left in the game, that's still on Koko for not calling a timeout and telling Booker to knock that **** off. They need to watch the first half of the game and see how they got the lead, and then play that way 48 minutes a game. They went back to what got them a 2-8 record in the first place and look how it turned out. Awful decision making down the stretch.

It's just tough to tell your star player to do that when he did have success with it once...and you don't want to create friction either. We played Boston close and hopefully learned a lesson.

I enjoyed the game for once, until the very end. Most games are puke worthy almost the entire time.
