Halftime thoughts: Why do Kenny Smith's legs bend so far backwards at the knees?

[Furlanfufi]

CAN WE HAVE KAMINSKI BACK FOR GAME 6?

I’ve been wondering about his legs too. Were they like that when he played too?

[Flagrant Fowl]

At least he knows how to play the position.

I'm a bit worried the offense is too stagnant and looking at Booker or Paul iso.

It’s the most successful offensive we’ve had in a couple games!

But yeah, I get it. lol

[Indy]

I'm just rereading this thread now. Seems like several folks are mad at Ayton. I don't think he is playing badly. He messed up a few plays, but overall I am happy with what he's doing. I still don't get why we are doubling off of guys like Kleber or Bertans who are torching us from 3.

His defense has been ok to good. He screwed up a couple offensive plays by being soft. But he also isn't trying on the boards. Getting outworked by everyone and several times didn't even go up for a board and stood flat while others around him went up for it.

Just got home…I see we only played Javale 3 minutes and Cam Payne didn’t play at all

I was wondering where you were.

[Split T]

Ooof on the Ayton play

I think we are planning on playing Book 42-45 minutes tonight.

How does DA play over 5 minutes and get zero rebounds?

The first time he made a move on the floor he got called for a foul. Doing the same thing Giannis does every time he scores. That’s how.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Wally_West]

I feel like we’re in our own head with these Mavs, I’m not saying Mavs don’t deserve credit but I still feel like most of our mistakes are self inflicted.

[Indy]

powell easily pushing DA out of the lane

[Superbone]

Fuck off Bertans.

Should give him a technical foul for that.

Not only that, he nailed McGee in the nuts first. THAT’s what they should have been looking at.

[Indy]

That was a rebound, DA!

[Indy]

Again DA!

[Wally_West]

This feels way better!!

[Split T]

Well this is a good start

[Indy]

I will NEVER feel comfortable when you have numbers on a fast break and take a 3. But man it feels great when it goes in.

[SunsRIt]

The Suns finally showed up to play.
