[Indy]

noice.

[Wally_West]

Ayton with unreal offensive half. Can he drop 40??

[Mori Chu]

Suns are wisely going to Ayton, whom the Mavs seem to have no ability whatsoever to stop. That is good. Even after hitting a torrent of 3s the Mavs are down by double digits. We got this.

[Wally_West]

Or will the Suns ignore him all half and he only gets 4 points again?

[Suns_Dave]

Do they really only have Ayton credited for 1rb at the half? I though they counted those tap outs as a rebound + pass.

[bajanguy008]

Until I see otherwise I'm not gonna be overly concerned
This game and maybe series sets up as who will get stops first or who will cool off first

Yea or shooting was inconsistent before but even if 3s aren't falling I don't see much resistance from them
And yes they been hot from deep but I would bet on the Suns D making it presence felt

[Wally_West]

Ayton with only 1 rebound so far. That’s some Jaren Jackson Jr numbers right there.

[Superbone]

Dang it. Only 69 points at halftime.

[Superbone]

My stream cut off right when Bridges missed the layup. Got it back and we're at a commercial so I assume something good happened for the Suns.

Two offensive rebounds ensued with Book finally putting it back in the hoop.

[LVSunsFAN]

Let's try getting some offensive rebounds

We are winning that battle 3 to zero right now.

The 3 offensive rebounds seem insufficient compared to the Mavs' 13 defensive boards. But then we out-rebound them 22-2 on the other end
Ayton and McGee COMBINING for 2 rebounds total in the entire 1st half is crazy...

Same.

[djy2j]

Dang it. Only 69 points at halftime.

Nice

[LazarusLong]

Maybe think about guarding Kleber?

Kleiber is a good shooter, but not that good.
If the Suns have somebody yelling and waving a hand near him within 3-5 feet, he'd have missed one or two.

[Superbone]

Let;s see what Cam Payne we get.

The good one.

[Wally_West]

Maybe think about guarding Kleber?

Kleiber is a good shooter, but not that good.
If the Suns have somebody yelling and waving a hand near him within 3-5 feet, he'd have missed one or two.

Shot 51% last series from 3. I really hope he settle the fuck down.

[Superbone]

Suns seem to be happy NOT to be playing the Pels. Everyone looks loose

We looked great in that first half against the Pels too. :ducks:

I thought about that too. But this feels a little different.
