Game Day: Suns (16-7) @ Mavericks (11-11), Mon 12/5/22

[INFORMER]

I actually get why Luka is complaining about that offensive foul call. He gets away with it all the time. I wish refs would call it more because all the big scorers do it. Even Devin. Tatum and Harden do it too.

[INFORMER]

Love how Dwight Powell cut off that pass that was going to a wide open DFS for a 3.

[INFORMER]

Terrible defense on that Luka P&R 3.

[djy2j]

Suns all out of sorts. Super Bowl for Luka since his hero ball had lead them to a 10th seed so far. Must win for him. He is a little bitch though

[Drewsprocket]

Their shit offense is putting too much pressure on the Defense. It’s blown open.

[ShelC]

Ugly first half. Looks just like the playoffs. Book struggling with his shot, no one else really a threat. DA's been solid but he's not beating the Mavs by himself. And everything's going right for the Mavs on offense. Luka's doing whatever he wants, Josh Green had real good minutes ad THJ's hitting his 3s. They're doing to us what we just did to the Spurs.

I'd hate to think Kidd is really outcoaching Monty or that Luka/the Mavs are just going to have our number. Hopefully we get our legs in the 2nd half and make a run to get close.

[INFORMER]

The defense has been poor. I don't know what Booker was doing on that THJ 3-pointer. Okogie ended up trying to close out on him, but Booker is the one that fell asleep on that play.

Looks like the Suns must have Covid. One, maybe several players.

[INFORMER]

I would love to have an athletic wing like Josh Green for Monty to deploy. James Jones views athleticism as a negative though, so that isn't happening.

[The Bobster]

Time to put on your big boy pants Booker.

[INFORMER]

I'd hate to think Kidd is really outcoaching Monty or that Luka/the Mavs are just going to have our number.

Kidd does outcoach Monty. Just like Budenholzer did.

[The Bobster]

Guess I should include Bridges and Payne in that too.

[INFORMER]

DA's been solid but he's not beating the Mavs by himself.

He isn't doing it by himself. He certainly has been active and alert in moving without the ball, but Cam, Booker and Bridges have been finding him off of their penetration. Ayton isn't out there getting the ball and going one on one.

Candance Parker just nailed it: "They're going to need him to make plays and get buckets, and not just have offense created for him."

And this isn't a knock on Ayton; it's just understanding what is happening out there.

[The Bobster]

Ayhton 6/8 - 75%
Everybody else 10/40 - 25%

Fuck.

[djy2j]

Booker with a turned ankle. Perfect.

Where’s Indy??? He will guarantee it

[specialsauce]

Mavs just have our number suddenly. Whatever adjustments Kidd made, Monty should take notes

[bajanguy008]

Not going to even read the board yet
Was hustling through some stuff at work to get to tune into the game, I'm only now finishing the 1st quarter

Just turned that shit off and going back to what I was doing
Why do you do this to me Book....

I can see the post above by Sauce but not like I expected that anything changed after the 1st quarter
Wdh man

If we play this team in the playoffs as currently constructed we will lose in 5-6 games. Blame Covid if you want but Mavs just have our number.

[Wally_West]

I know Landry is a good guy, I know Monty loves him and would let him throat fuck and creampie his daughter but he’s becoming one of my least favorite Suns. I think what we traded and the contract is probably the driving force for that but I can’t help how I feel. I hate him on this team. He does nothing for us. Nothing. He can’t get traded soon enough.
