1st Quarter
JT Looks Ready To Roll
Didn't a certain guy want to play in Phoenix prior to the draft?! I believe it was JT. So far tonight he seems active and energized. Knocking down shots, getting to the hoop and playing some good basketball. Despite his early struggles this season he's back. For those on talk radio who give him crap, please be quiet! This kid is special!
Decent D Better Offense
While the D was decent, it didn't scream out saying we are here to play and make life miserable for you. If they can then tonight could be a nice win. Offensively the ball was moving and guys were hitting their shots. The only question I have is can they keep it going.
Celtics trail 25-24, if they can come out in the second and play hard D they can put the Sun's to bed early.
2nd Quarter
Lack of hustle and energy
When your entire team gets out hustled and out worked by Javalle McGee we have an issue. The start to this second quarter feels likes its the first or fourth quarter. With how poorly the effort is out there. You have to ask yourself do the Celtics want to win tonight? It's early in the quarter so let's hope so.
Balls of Freedom
Is it me or once Ime started giving FREEDOM minutes did we see how impactful he can be? Rebounding has lost its value in today's game but not to this writer. You need a guy who is willing to just go get the rock. There is an art to boxing out and out dueling your opponent. Side note the Celtics were cold as ice offensively.
Celtics trail 57-39, after the coldest quarter we have seen in quite a while. Interesting thought, Celtics come back and win!?
3rd Quarter
Time to drive drive drive!
Here's a novel concept, let's drive to the hoop! If we can get some consistent drives, that can get us to the line. Getting to the line means easy points. Will the Celtics follow this writers advice?! Not so sure, let's hope so!
Does anyone remember where's the beef? Well where's the D?
Historically defense wins championships, at this point with this team, all we need is defense winning a game. So far I've seen nothing on the defensive end that says this team wants to win. Offensively it feels as cold as Antarctica out there. Hey Brad let's go find some heaters on offense that can melt this ice.
Celtics trail 84-69, they didn't really make a dent, could be yet another loss for the Celtics.
4th Quarter
Will there be a run
Nope, nada, negative what is happening with this team. This road trip has been like a car crashing into a tree. Not really paying attention and all of a sudden boom! Just not a good team effort and we got to see the bench emptied..
Big Games On The Horizon
When is enough? Enough? This game was a huge disappointment. Your playing a a team with all those injuries and you get run off the the floor. Welcome to next week when you welcome the Greek and the Chef. Those two players will be ready to light you up.
Celtics lose 111-90, a lackluster effort brings a lackluster effort. Label this writer as glad he stayed up to watch this game.
