Game Day: Mavericks (17-12) @ Suns (14-14), Mon 12/25/23

This team has no idea how to win a game together and you can tell it by their body language.

Turning this shit off

[Furlanfufi]

Can we undo the Durant trade?

[The Bobster]

Until they start playing defense talks about them being any kind of a contender are a non-starter.

And once again Luka totally dominates a game that Booker (and also Durant tonight) doesn't bring his A game.

[Gladiator]

Two horrendous turnovers from metu and Durant to crush any small hope we had. Just careless, unnecessary, soul-crushing turnovers.

[Wally_West]

Durant’s turnovers has been fucking ridiculous this season.

[djy2j]

Frank calls timeout down 14 with 30 seconds left? To do what?

[Furlanfufi]

Durant’s turnovers has been fucking ridiculous this season.

His defense is missing also.

[Mori Chu]

Can't blame the supporting cast tonight. In a game where Metu gets 23 and Grayson Allen hits 8 3s, you have enough help to get a win. Suns had their typical horrid offense and also typical complete collapse in the 4th. Nobody felt like trying to stop Luka, who now has 50 points. I think Okogie fell on his bad hip, too. Awful loss.

[Mori Chu]

KD's body language was really shitty tonight. Many plays he didn't try on defense, and he seemed disengaged on offense when he didn't get the ball. Bad sign.

[The Bobster]

Looking back the supposed haul they got for minimum salaries last summer, Bol, Bates-Diop and Watanabe have looked like minimum salary players although it's in part because their playing time has been sparce; Eubanks and Gordon have been disappointing as rotation players, and Metu has been the only one showing much in the playing time he's gotten. The "haul" was greatly overrated by the media.

Looked like a soccer player trying to get his coach fired.

[JJ Slim]

One good quarter and only because of Allen. Is there any way to sign up for email alerts for if and when the Suns grow a pair?

This one was clearly on Booker and Durant.

I also think Okogie has played himself be out of the rotation. At least if we had logic behind the coaching decisions he should be.

[JJ Slim]

All-Star voting is active. At this point I don't think either Booker or Durant deserve any votes.

[TOO]

Well gents, I'm gonna go ahead and call this season over, there is no way to fix what ails this team. It's not gonna work, sucks because I had so much hope because of the potential. Vogel ain't shit, he is definitely not a leader, IDK about the highest paid assistant, wtf does he even do? This offense stinks. The leaders are soft, no heart, Booker wants to be talked about like the greats, but he constantly comes up short when the Suns need him most, KD, he can score, but he's not a leader, the rest is a bunch of minimum deals. I don't see it anymore, there is no vision here, Ishbia missed on this swing.

Feel free to throw this in my face if I'm wrong, but I'm not worried that I am.

[specialsauce]

I’ve got 50 to win 140 on Mavs winning.
I also got 25 on Suns winning, Gordon scoring 12 and hitting 3 3’s to win 90

Gordon needs another 3 and if the Suns pull out the "w" you'll be a happy man!

Alas, I won the bet I wasn’t wanting. At least my wallet is a little fatter tonight

It really was. He didn’t even TRY on defense in crunch time.
