We have decided to close with the small ball lineup....

We have decided to close with the small ball lineup....

The Mavs can't exploit it, makes actual sense this time.

[Mori Chu]

Suns on a nice little run here. Dallas calls timeout after Royce hits a big 3 to put us up 118-102 with 4:35 left. Feels like we may be putting them away. Big 3 all playing decently well, with 22, 19, 19 pts. (Book 0-6 from 3, oof.)

[bajanguy008]

Yeah +8 so far and lead up to 16

It should not even be a big deal but have to mention that Book has actually been vocal, clapping his hands (C'mon man) after defensive breakdowns
On O definitely from half time been trying to put this to bed

[Mori Chu]

Naji Marshall has over 30 points now, LOL. That tells you something about how depleted Dallas is.

[djy2j]

Gillespie AND Jones?

Why?

[Mori Chu]

GILLESPIE/DUNN SIGHTING

[bajanguy008]

Did what we were supposed to do
No ridiculous live ball turnovers in the 2nd half but Mavs didn't have the physicality and length which repeatedly causes us issues

[ShelC]

Whatevs. One game closer to the offseason. Nothing we did today against a stripped down Mavs team is some sign of turning a corner or an improvement in anything.

[LazarusLong]

Gillespie AND Jones?

Why?

Exactly.

Incomprehensible ...

[Mori Chu]

LMAO

Gillespie AND Jones?

Why?

I guess we're just tossing out any sense of reason when it comes to lineups... At this point he's TRYING to get fired before the end of the season.

[Kryptonic]

Sorry... This isn't something to gloat about when you're playing a depleted team.

[Superbone]

Oh boy Mark Jones again.

Heh, I thought about you during the telecast. He thinks some of these guys are electricians. He talked about KD doing some "light work" today.

[Superbone]

14 points.

That's the Suns prosperity limit. Multiple times throughout the game these guys would get a 14 point lead and then lose it soon after. Often back to 6. Luckily for them, they went on another run to finish the game.

Game Score Predictions Results:

Mori Chu - Suns by 18.
Carno - Suns by 12.
SunsSince92 - Suns by 10
TOO - if the Suns don't win by 6 they have to move to Vegas.
Superbone - Suns by 5
LazarusLong - Suns by three over the Mavs JV
Cap - Pathetic Mavs edge woebegone Suns by 4 after an epic 4th quarter Suns collapse.
JeremyG - Mavs by 8
Kryptonic - mavs by 20

PHX 125 - DAL 116; Suns by 9; Congratulations to SunsSince92 who was only one away from the final score. Also, Suns narrowly avoided having to move to Vegas by getting over TOO 6 point threshhold.

If we have to pay him anyway, don’t fire him, just send him home. Of course we’ll give other teams permission to talk to him, but why not keep him under contract in case we have use for him in the future? How would that harm either party?

[ShelC]

Use the old "moving to the front office" PR statement.
