Suns @ Mavericks Monday game thread 2-1-2021

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Would be nice to see Book/CP3/DA all have great offensive games in a game and not just 1/3 or 2/3.

Agree. Those should be blowouts.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker with nice elevation on his shot for the win.

Borg?

Lol, I almost typed that as well. You’re encroaching on sacred brother ground!

 

[Cheesebeef]

If this team can stop getting COVID they might go somewhere

lol.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Suns really lucky to pick up Frank Kaminsky off waivers because he has helped this team.

Tank has given them good minutes the last five games.

 

[cwamjn]

Great to have Booker back and Nader back on the bench. It's key for us to stay healthy so we don't have to get to the end of our bench, really weak there.

I'm going to say it, even with DAs inconsistency I'm glad we got him over Doncic. Guy is overrated. Maybe covid has just made me hate everyone in the west, but he just seems essentially worthless

uh... no. He’s just got a really poorly constructed team around him. That team is Cavs-esque during LeBron’s first run there.

He's just the euro James harden to me. Or Westbrook. But I think he'll be a lot of noise but won't have much to show for it.

that’s a HOF level player. I also think he’s a much better passer than Harden. And he’s only 20.

Dough Boy has the most punchable face in the NBA.

If what I’ve heard about Doncic’s extra curriculars is true, that’s not the only commonality he shares with Harden

 

[Raze]

Ok. I've reserved the right to say this. I haven't said it this season I don't think.

The officiating sucked tonight.

The no call on Luka's behind the back carry...
The call on Langston who stood still while Luka elbowed one of the hairs on his head...
The call on Ayton when Luka lost the ball on DA's great D and went head first into him...
The offensive fouls on Book when they refuse to call the Defensive holding on him going around screens...
The fact that Dallas got twice as many FT's on a ton of questionable calls...

Glad to see the Suns can beat a good team with trrrible officiating.

Awful awful game by the officials.

Sadly, the Mavs can’t take advantage of lopsided officiating. They are not a good team

I really try not to succumb to yelling about the refs, and I am fully cognizant that we will usually have FT disparity bc we don’t drive the hoop, but yeah tonight was a really poorly officiated game for the suns. I really don’t like the treatment doncic already gets. Is Lebron-esque.

 

[JCSunsfan]

Dallas is done btw.

As much as everyone rips on Ayton, I would rather have DA than Porzingis.

 

[jagu]

I think Doncic is starting to look normal.

 

[JCSunsfan]

I think Doncic is starting to look normal.

Teams are getting used to his game. He is going to get numbers but his overall effectiveness is limited.

he is a horrible defender. The entire Dallas team is. There is no way CP3 should have that much specs to shoot in the midrange.

Ayton’s game is under appreciated here. His d is still solid and his rebounding is stellar.

btw Ouchie, just a minor point but Rodman was a natural rebounder. He just had a knack for knowing where to be. He didn’t block out much.

Meh on Ayton. Honestly he's a waste of height because he could completely dominate the game if he had it in him.

 

[JCSunsfan]

This Suns team is better than their record. They are still coming together. They play a style that will work in the playoffs.

 

[TJ]

We’re past the “if he had it in him” talk. Dude doesn’t gobble up rebounds and defend his ass off if he “didn’t have it in him.” The chief complaint is offensive mechanics, which to me are more surprising than his meteoric rise on defense. Confident he’ll figure that out because that was his bread and butter in high school and college, not his defense

 

[JCSunsfan]

Ayton had numerous stops on Doncic this game while the Suns played Mikal on Porzingis (quite effectively) a lot of the time.

If I was a Dallas fan, that would embarrass me.

 

[Solar7]

I'll probably qualify my position on players as I get back into the groove of watching the NBA, but every time I watch Ayton go, I feel like he's growing. We argue on other sections of the board about how our #1 pick needs to develop... but I'm feeling hopeful when I watch him play D.
