Someone needs to smack Ayton or something. He played like a bully against Jonas Valanciunas but he looked like a field mouse against Powell and Kleber tonight.

Turnovers killed them tonight.

This ESPN -Luka slurpfest is annoying too. I was hoping we'd sweep them. If this goes more than 5 I'll be disappointed.
We really have to do a split screen and watch him standing on the sidelines for two minutes? Really?!

Can't win when we just let the Mavs be the aggressors and then the refs pile on top by giving away two key possessions to the wrong team.

I thought it was three? But I kinda lost track.

We were undefeated all season when holding a team under 110 points…until tonight.

Would've been fine if we made those shots in the paint and didn't throw the ball away. The team looked super lazy tonight

I’m not too worried about it. Suns in 5. Would be nice to finish a series on our home court for a change.

All the 50/50 balls went the Mavs way. Those two possession calls were lame. Most of the team played like they had a couple of shots in honor of CP3’s birthday before the game. So many bricks from close range. Pauls early turnovers. This was just one of those games where the Suns were just off. The Mavs were desperate and at home. Always having a camera on Doncic whether he was in the game or not was annoying.

I thought I saw him doing this after one of his foul calls and was wondering what that was all about

Getting out to an early lead may have been the worst thing for us, cultivating a sense of complacency. I would hope thAt is gone in game 4 (along with dumb turnovers, easy misses and poor D). Still really like our chances in this series but we would want to win game 4 to avoid it becoming an absolute slugfest

This team usually bounces back well after a loss. I am sure the guys are looking at the tape and will make adjustments. If nothing else I hope they please please talk about closing out on 3-point shooters. We gave the Mavs way too many open looks from deep.

I'm not even sure adjustments need to be made. Put more effort in chasing after loose balls and hit your inside shots. That's about it.
