Game Day: Suns (34-9) @ Mavericks (26-19), Thurs 1/20/22

[Split T]

Ya Dallas switched smaller guys onto our bigs at times and we couldn’t take advantage. Ayton is also better defending the pick n roll. You see it with the elite pnr ball handlers…Luka picked apart Javale and Biyombo at times. Ayton can also defend Luka pretty well on switches, Ayton is really a pretty valuable guy against Dallas. They don’t really have anyone to match up with him and he is a pretty big defensive deterrent to what they want to do.

Credit to Monty for his rotations in the second half. He didn't play Shamet at all and he basically ran Biyombo out there from the mid-3rd all the way through the 4th. McGee didn't seem to have his usual energy, so not going back to him was a big factor in getting the win.

Funny how once we stopped playing Shamet, everything got better for us.

This is why I'm hoping for an Eric Gordon trade. They could really use a steady and reliable threat off the bench at SG.
