Suns (7-24) at Celtics (18-11) Game #30 12/19/18

[Kuberski33]

Brown sucked.  Rozier sucked. Tatum was something less than engaged. But Hayward's no show was especially troubling tonight

[hpantazo]

Really disappointing game for Jaylen. With Morris out, and against a poor team, this was his chance to shine, and he looked even worse than usual. We made a mini comeback down the stretch when Stevens sat him.

[slamtheking]

We deserve this loss.

Suns played harder.. Oubre is a Celtic killer, and they have two now with Booker the other one.
Knew this was not going to be an easy win.

Man Hayward and Brown are two players that I really want to trade right now... But Hayward has zero or even a net negative trade value.. So does Brown who plays like Jeff Green, only he is worst.

Need to speed up TL development. He has no offensive moves other than lobs and put backs.

Milwaukee is going to spank us... Book it.

let's see who we get back for our front court first but if everyone out tonight is out for the Bucks and Sixers games, it's going to be a long game for the C's

[celticinorlando]

Is there some point when Hayward actually plays with some confidence and some anger? He seems so timid, defers to other players that are lesser than him. He needs to be a 15 plus scorer each night. It looks like he has no idea where he fits in.

And Brown is just Brown. I have stopped expecting anything from that guy. Not sure why he starts.

[hpantazo]

Giannis and the Bucks are going to destroy us on Friday if we play like we did tonight.

definitely needed those 4 to step up this game and they were all lacking

I don’t know how the C’s will stop him from dropping 30 and 20.

[celticinorlando]

I expect this team to be a 4 or 5 seed in the playoffs at this point. With the injuries, the lack of chemistry, effort most nights is just not there. Maybe they get on a run...

I expect a beatdown Friday. No Horford. No Baynes. Maybe no Morris.

There is no excuse, no explanation, no justification, no reason these players can come up with for this embarassment ........... and on a night we could have gained ground - though Toronto showed why they are the superior team. This team lacks mental toughness. They appear more interested in being cool and pretty than in getting down & dirty and winning titles. Sickening.

Rozier and Brown have their own agendas. They are just chemistry killers. Tatum some nights is great but coasts most nights. Hayward is a timid as a church mouse. Looks scared most of the time.

Only 2 that play hard night in and out are Kyrie and Smart. Morris when he is not hurt.

I'm sure it's a coincidence that you were nowhere to be found on here during the 8 game winning streak and then BOOM as soon as we lose two in a row the Master of Panic is back!

Can't lose to the Suns at home.  Christmas is cancelled.

Naw man...had some family illness that has taken priority the last few weeks.

Puke. Too much hero ball. No rebounding.  Jaylen still mia. Disappointing loss to the worst team in the league while they celebrated on our home court.

I’m starting to think that Gordon is getting self conscious about shooting. He knows he is the main disruption to last years team and is making a conscious effort to not take shots away from his teammates. He had 8 attempts tonight, same as Smart who’s not in the team to score. Irving has 19, Tatum 17, rozier 11 and even Jaylen beat him with 9. I think He’s deferring to his teammates too much trying not to rock the boat by taking what we’re “their” shot attempts last year.

Just shoot the ball If it’s there to be shot. And get to the line, he was better at that during the 8 game win streak, drawing fouls.
