Suns (5-5) at Celtics (3-5) Game #9 11/17/14

[Nerf DPOY]

So who wants the take a bet on a 4th quarter comeback instead of a falling apart scenario.

I desperately want to see a W, if just for the reason of not having to see 8 brand new insane threads in about a half hour.

Somebody needs to look at the tape and figure out what is wrong with this defense.  I mean, Rondo, Avery, Green and Bass have proven they can all play great defense, Thorton is an experienced vet and even Turner has the athleticism.  Are KO and Sully that grotesquely horrible that they utterly destroy the defensive scheme?  Is there something wrong with the scheme?  Is Stevens too tolerant of poor defensive effort?

Well, I don't have stats on hand, but just from watching our PnR defense is poor.   Allow too much dribble penetration.  We gave no interior presence whatsoever.  Also poor in transition.

Coaches need to do a better job, even if we are missing strong defenders at some positions.

hah

The hair done for the night?

Nah just foul trouble.

[KeepRondo]

This lineup?

[steefp2]

Rondo with the triple double and the W. Calling it (though the triple double part isn't much of a stretch at this point).

[SCeltic34]

Pressey + Rondo backcourt.  Don't really care for this combo.

[KeepRondo]

I'm confused with this lineup.

[steefp2]

Pressey goes hard though. I like bringing in Thornton.

[letsgoblue86]

Where is olynyk?

[knuckleballer]

The score is too close, so CBS is playing Pressey to tank.

Pressey will take that bet

[KeepRondo]

Bradley tired?

[Beat LA]

Come on Rajon, 2-7 on free throws in a 3 point game. Good thing i love you and you're killing it with everything else.

Ditto.  His form is fine, so I don't know what the problem is.  If you notice, he's changed his free throw shooting over the past 2-3 years to mimic that of Bass in how he holds the ball.  I know, it's not interesting, but I just thought I'd pass it on anyway .

[KeepRondo]

Put Bradley back in.
