mavs defense dies after two rotations

would you trade maxey for beal or lillard straight up? i think “no” is a defensible answer

trade for lillard and hire diantoni lets go

This is just a bad matchup for the mavs. Suns have owned them over the last few years

ayton fading hook over the double team thats nasty

Luka denying the fadeaway after freezing cam j just to pivot and dive back in for the and one was hilarious

lol he wiped him out

ayton is the rare 16 game center. in the regular season he feels extraneous but he can actually hurt these small lineups in the playoffs

beal--absolutely not. lillard maybe if i can get off harden at the same time.

there's a generational shift happening out there right now.

feels like one of those games where the Mavs will be down between 7 and 14 all game

luka trying to do it all himself and thats not gonna work

Might net them a win or two but that’s it

Lmao what are the suns doing

Was that like 12 offensive foul calls in a 30 second span?

its reffing time baby

they just like collectively forgot how to play basketball

was thinkin it would be cool if you could buy ref jerseys to rep your fave ref

uhh Luka you okay bud

This game is gross

was thinkin it would be cool if you could buy ref jerseys to rep your fave ref

booker’s improvement defensively is so amazing

Prob the suns biggest storyline this year as to why they are so good

Lol

I want the 3 hours I spent doing a detailed dive (because I was asked to) to analyze who the better initiator was LD or DSJ - because some of our guys weren't quite sure yet a month and a half into his rookie year - never a worse "can you back it up with data" moment in my life

This game is nearly unwatchable

christopher paul

This is insane lol

imagine watching chris paul do his thing and thinking “I’m not having a good time”. doesn’t compute!

I mean he did have to throw a lil bastard move to bait the refs into an offensive foul call in the middle of that run of course

right, lol. chris paul is great but also chris paul chooses to be an annoying brown noser in the middle of his greatness sort of sums up his entire career.

unfortunately for him the playoff gods will never let him prosper. but he will always have his second round triumphs

Absolute clinic by the suns there in the 4th. Put luka in action and go to work and let him cook all game so he’s tired in the 4th and no one else is in rhythm

unfortunately for him the playoff gods will never let him prosper. but he will always have his second round triumphs

The hoops gawds will not reward this

Did CP3 just grab his arm to draw an offensive foul? pic.twitter.com/UeFO4QgnNS

This is bananas.

The Suns went after Luka 50 times as the screen defender FIFTY and scored a casual 1.72 points per chance.

Wow.

Through two games, Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler have run 35 direct pick-and-rolls at either DeAndre Jordan or Paul Reed. Including assist opportunities, they've produced 56 points (1.6 ppp) out of those actions.

extremely weird there are no games tonight and that philly-miami and phoenix-dallas play again on friday before the other two series come back. bucks, celtics, warriors, grizzlies getting three days off in the middle of the series while the other 4 teams play every other night the whole way unless there’s a game 7. not sure i get that one

its just tv stuff putting the more popular teams on the good days and so forth, def unfair to the teams who get less rest

what the hell am i supposed to do tonight

watch da red sox hawhaw

i'm playing basketball tonight. gonna do some ja shit

take flight brother

its just tv stuff putting the more popular teams on the good days and so forth, def unfair to the teams who get less rest

i was in LA last week. watching a basketball game at 10 am… weird stuff

yeah friday night is a bad tv night at least historically idk if people still "do things"

lol recall once being in CA and setting an alarm to make sure i woke up in time to watch basketball

i guess i’m mostly puzzled why there aren’t any games tonight like you could still have the games on saturday playing the normal every other day schedule, why are those four teams getting three days off, i don’t understand. thursday night is NBA night what is going on

day games are a scourge imo

i think its so if theres a game seven in the popular series itll be next weekend

feel like every game boston plays is intense enough to need three days off tbh

the celtics need time to do self care ok
