Thoroughly Embarrassing Loss to the Suns

[blink]

This team is not that good without Horford and Bradley. Problem is they are both injury prone and the odds are one or both of them will be banged up going into the playoffs. One and done again.

Cmon, this is just an exaggeration.  We played poorly as a team today, but I don't really think this is proof that we are one and done this year.  I know this one loss to a bad team sucks, but it isn't anything more than that.  We are a 50 win team that has a chance to get to the EC Finals if we can keep the 2 seed.

Well Horford is the only playoff caliber center/power forward in the whole roster, because we never did **** to address this problem. Thats self explanatory. The loss didnt impress me

Why is DA so in love with the likes of Olynyk, Jerebko, Mickey?  These guys are not tough enough to battle down low.

its a classic post-bad loss overreaction.

Yup, we gotta stay the course.  I don't see us exiting the playoffs after round 1 this year

[SHAQATTACK]

Yeah....kinda sucked

But ......CBS warned the team .....clearly the Suns can score and can beat us. He was clear they could not slack off.

Nobody listened ....at least on he team .  Suns were up for them .

I'm not surprised .

Good win by the team that wanted it more.

watching zeller and kelly both so clumsy and awkward and kelly throwing the ball away  and then getting out rebounded and topped it off by t rex pawing at ball for another foul
i was furious ,do you have mug on your forehead for picking up cheap fouls-get a haircut ,shave the chin fuzz and stop looking like the stuff you smoke is too strong
mickey can't get enough elevation on his put backs to dunk
jaylen don't leave the gym until you hit your foul shots, if your going to go to the line 10 times or play crunch time,you have to do better than 50%
how the heck did the celts not manage timeouts better
Ko and zeller -i almost had a coronary
mickey isn't tough enough,strong enough--
staying pat on waivers was a big mistake
it was a sickening display-i'm not a hater but what i saw turned me into one

Eh, these games happen. If we can win 2 out of the next 3, that would being a pretty good road trip.

2 out of 3 is optimistic given we don't know the extent of Horford and AB injuries and we are playing Clippers, Warriors and the Denver Jokics who will kill us on the boards. 2 of 3 is probably a miracle.

AB says he's gonna play tomorrow (he was just sore, unsurprising after missing so many games), and Brad says Horford's injury isn't long term, but he tends to stay out longer than strictly necessary to make sure he is 100%. I can't see Horford missing the whole road trip, though

[Rosco917]

The loss of Horford and AB, was too much to overcome. Bradley being our 2nd scoring option, and Horford being our 3rd scoring option, and our point center.

This Celtic team has an odd chemistry to it, our best and really only scoring option is a serious defensive liability, and not exactly a willing passer.

I dare say someone in this organization is gonna have to take a long hard look in the mirror and soon. Because this team may have to take a step backward, to take two steps froward.

That's good about AB but long term scares me -what does that mean? a week or two? If he's not back by Wednesday then I feel we will definitely drop to the 3 seed.

Over reaction much? Bad games happen. They especially happen on the road, on the west coast, when 2 of your 3 best players are out.

KO in particular has been embarassingly awful....cant we get Terrence Jones just to get rid of KO and Jerebko.

Yeah it's pretty much the least specific timetable he could have given.  Does it mean "he'll play again before the playoffs" or "He'll play again this roadtrip"? Until we get a real diagnosis or timetable, though, I'm assuming that because Brad didn't say he'll miss the rest of the trip that he'll return before the Denver game

[droopdog7]

Get over it.  It's the nba.  We played badly and yet the still needed a miracle to win the game.  On to the next one.

Jones is now on Milwaukee

They lost to Atlanta at home just two games ago. Gotta be more consistent with effort.
