Every time we play the Mavs, they seem to hit 67% of their 3s. That's hard to beat. I would tend to prefer letting Luka go off and staying at home on their 3-point shooters, personally. But we'll see.

Ayton says everyone is going to guard their man straight up tonight. Hmmm.

Only took about two possessions to see that this was a lie.

Ayton looks like butt so far.

Ayton's energy is high but he's making poor decisions.

Suns are a different team when Paul is making shots

He's on pace for 40 rebounds. Can we criticize someone else tonight?

Luka out for now with a rolled ankle. Our offense is getting rolling with CP knocking down his shots, Biz and DA being big inside (nice to see us taking advantage of our size), Cam shooting and Mikal playmaking. Can't let their roleplayers get any confidence - they have annoying players like Dinwiddie, THJ and Bullock who can look like stars and go for 25 on any given night.

We were doing better with Luka in the game.

Way to close out a quarter.

Nice job by second unit to piss away the lead ...

Watching games on TNT is painful. They say things that show they have no idea what the Suns do or how they play.

Don't like what Monty did
CP3 was cooking so played more than usual in the 1st quarter. Mikal wasn't really involved but both checked out shortly after each other so then the last minute or two was with and all bench lineup

Yeah we did it out of necessity earlier in the month but shouldn't have any lineups with neither CP3, Mikal, DA or Cam on the floor

Ugh for the CHUCKING tonight.... DA with the chucked 3

Monty playing with some lineups. Dario at the 5 didn't work, he'd been playing better as a 4 next to Jock and Biz. Saben didn't get much time and seems to be opting for DWJ, who's been rough. Mavs are treating Okogie like Crowder and letting him shoot/drive all he wants, unfortunately he's been off tonight.

Nope. I'll leave him alone when he plays like a max player.

I really enjoy watching Ish chuck errant threes and making stupid fouls.

It's been a while since we've seen the Suns shoot this poorly on open shots. A sizeable portion of bad attempts mixed in there as well.

Just look lazy and disorganized, Paul was hot early but he too gets lazy and unorganized when everyone else does.

The good news is we're keeping it close.... Hoping they get out of their slump before Luka heats up.
