Well dunno about Phil Pressey, though preferred Larkin but I at least hope we got rid of the person in the front office that liked the too small fat boys ( big baby, Sullinger, Grant).

No argument from me about that. :lol:

It’s so bad that this team just can’t get over the hump.

Miami is going to slaughter us.

Well, that leaves Tatum open. Pick your poison, I guess...


They should just leave one guy on Tatum not two.. Tatum can certainly score but just to give up wide wide Open shots it's great for the overall team confidence in my opinion.

It's nice to decisively close out a good team in the fourth quarter without having any real anxiety or nerves. Suns haven't really been in the game since half time.

You can't tell me the Suns offense is bad.

Offense = Great

Defense = Bad

Simple!


Simple to a simple mind perhaps !

No one said the suns offense is bad.

If you consider the bench depth, the roster construction around 3 high volume stars that overlap in skillsets, the reliance on one traditional paint big, multiple ball handlers yet no true point guard capable of playing crunch minutes, the significant health red flags across their main rotation, along with the very obvious lack of defensive length at key positions then that cumulatively tells the full story.

No one that's been paying attention would seriously consider this team a finals chance.

You're acting as if the Suns didn't know what they were doing when they got Beal.

The Suns were using the old formula of having 3 stars trying to win a championship.

Your mind must have forgotten the fact that the Phoenix Suns were one of the favorites to win the championship before the season started.

Jaylens been great, the energy is much needed but also impressive in keeping the momentum during the spell with the dodgy hauser, pritchard, kornet, white line up being the only true point of attack threat.

Oh we aren’t.

Caruso is going to average 20/10/8 against us.

We are cooked.

Imagine being 30-3 at home.

It’s a recipe for disaster and first round exit.

For. Sure.

Tillman hits that corner 3 consistently and we legit have a Horford successor

Guys like Booker and Beal hyped up this game and it's not even close.

Return to Boston Celtics
