Had Barkley done this, the Suns would have won in 1994 and 1995

He deserves it
. Just look how much his offensive game has developed this year.. Last year ar it was all layups and the occasional jump shot.. Now he is bouncing the ball, making baby hooks... He just keeps getting better. Our biggest crime is not going to him more in second half... But we do not 3s as well... He just comes. Out and sets the pick so often I'd like more posting up

That hook shot makes him a max-worthy player. It is a legit go to move.

Yeah, but, he then would have immediately violated his own curfew. :-)

$25K seems excessive but maybe Draftkings complained or something.

I think Booker could actually do a good job on Brunson
You know Brunson would drive to the hoop every play just to get fouls on Booker and that’s what he’s good at. I don’t really like that idea. So would Doncic I suppose. Get them in foul trouble and they play softer defense. Booker is our best guy at drawing fouls I think. When he was gone that really stood out. He needs to draw his share of fouls first before they get us in foul trouble. Then again he is just barely coming back from his hammy injury and driving repeatedly to the hoop seems like a great way to re-injure that hammy. I think Doncic drew a LOT of fouls the last time we played. He almost single handedly fouled out the team it seemed like.

Ayton has come a long way. He has several offensive moves now and has been very successful. It would be great if he learned a few Amare to the hole for a thunderous dunk and a free throw moves. That could come in real handy n the playoffs.

Edit:Doncic shot 11 free throws. Next closest was…Biyombo with 7.

I have decided Ayton is a small forward in a center’s body on offense.

I think we’re going to push the pace this series. The Mavs don’t have the same depth as us. They’re playing a 7 man rotation. We’re going to need to tire Luca out, so that his legs are heavy in the fourth. We can also try to get more offensive rebounds as Dallas isn’t a crazy transition team like the Pelicans were.

I don't know. He has that beautiful hook shot near the basket. I don't think many SFs would have that move. He also does a ton of pick-setting and rolling to the basket, which is more common for a big than a SF.

I've got exactly the same worry...the matchup that would worry me the most in this season would be the repeat matchup with Milwaukee (Giannis is a beast)...not that Dallas and likely the Warriors are going to be challenging also, but Milwaukee to me has the best player in the league right now. DA just has never demonstrated any kind of power game, he's much more of a finesse player...effective yes, but not one that matches up well with aggressive power players.

Case in point, the expert predictions on the Boston Milwaukee series markedly favored Boston...and look at this first game...Giannis 24 pts, 13 Rebounds, 12 Assists...beast...

Kidd is right. The Suns won't let the Mavs get away with treating Ayton like the Jazz Centers. My concern is with foul trouble and Monty trying to play McGee too much.

Suns in 6
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
