Game Day: Suns (21-44) @ Mavs (28-36), Sat 3/11/17

Post by Superbone »

Time: 7:00 pm AZ (6:00 pm PT / 9:00 pm ET)
Place: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

The Mavericks are riding a 4 game winning streak tied for their longest of the season. They look to finish a perfect homestand tonight.
Alan Williams is on a roll, having piled up five straight double-doubles off the bench. That's the longest streak by a Suns reserve in franchise history and the longest by any NBA player off the bench since Miami's Hassan Whiteside (six) in March 2016.
Go Suns!!!

Booker and Chriss playing well. Bledsoe 2-8 shooting :-/

Can't believe Dirk can still play like this at his age.

Bleds with 8 FGA, 4 assists and 2 turnovers in the opening quarter. Busy guy.

Dirk is about a year younger than me, and we play with the exact same style at this point in our lives. Shuffle around the court with a stiff back trying not to use the hips at all, move the arms a bit on D, soot every time I catch the ball without even trying to make a move.

Close game. But kind of boring... I guess I miss the special something Len brings to the lineup. With Len & Bender out, and Chriss in foul trouble, are we going to see Chandler if Williams gets in foul trouble too?

I hate that shot from Bledsoe. It is so damn lazy. Pull up 3 point shot with 20+ seconds left on the shot clock.

Do the top two prospects look like good fits next to Booker? Would be amazing if we got a pg and we could trade Bledsoe for some future picks. :)

Devin is playing so well since January. All season he has gotten his points. He just wasn't very efficient earlier in the year.

We just expect him to get 20 like it is nothing. Kinda crazy for a guy so young.

Not a good shooting night from Bledsoe. Also, Chriss has got to learn how to stay out of foul trouble.
Go Suns!

Ulis got picked by Dirk on that last play and Dudley just stood there and watch Barea go in and miss a layup, grab the offensive rebound and score.

Dudley was like a statue.
