Tough one tonight in Dallas on NBATV. The Mavericks are trying to salvage a three game home stand in which they lost the first two to the Hawks and Wizards.

Go Suns!!!

Sooo how much are Barea, Felton and Deron going to score on us this time? Damn Carlisle is a top3 coach.

Mathews is playing pretty well lately.

I just moved to Dallas a few months ago and I'm headed to the game tonight. Pretty excited to root for our boys in an opposing arena.

Nice image on Dallas, Mori.

Uh, isn't this the same Dallas team that went around, over, under and through the Suns in the season opener, making Phoenix look like a slapped together D-League team?

I wonder if our guys ever heard of "defense" or "not making stupid passes."
Go Suns!

How is that even remotely a clear path. Defender was in front of him no Mavs player were in front of the guy dribbling the ball. Ridiculous.

I don't know why they bother to call timeouts to draw up plays. They couldn't execute a play at the end of a quarter to save their lives.

Just saw the 2 worst examples of point guarding in my life in a span of 2 mins by both Bledsoe then Knight. Sheesh.

Suns have started the second half with decent defensive intensity, but way too much Tucker dribbling down the other end of the floor

Well, that was a putrid last half of the 3rd. Suns have more turnovers than assists so far. We are like the anti-Spurs in terms of basketball fundamentals/IQ

And right on cue, there's another turnover to start the last quarter

Dallas commentators speculating about Markieff trades now (noting that he hasn't played for a few games and there's a pool of extra players becoming available for trades)

Suns making a bit of a rally in the 4th (led by Weems) but that 3rd quarter was a killer. Dallas apparently shot 81% for the quarter

Warren and Goodwin looking good in the 4th as well. Goodwin would be looking much better if he could make FTs

Hornacek can eat 1 pile of shit for every minute Ronnie Price plays. That's 17 piles tonight.

Every minute Tucker and Price get PT over warren, Booker and Goodwin is a testament to the fact that Hornacek is the worst talent evaluator in the history of the Suns franchise. Don't even get me started on our non-existent X's and O's. He's a real pile of shit.

That was the moment for the Suns - down 6 and messed up a fast-break opportunity
