Suns @ Mavericks Friday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-6-2022 - Game 3

[AZ due I love BBQ]

So Chris Paul doesn’t know how to play basketball anymore?

CP3 should not start

Force feed Ayton

 

[Covert Rain]

They were trapping just as much in game 2.

No they were only doubling after the Suns got hot. They are doing it out of the gate. Offensively they are not settling for jump shots and watching Luka shoot.

 

[Finito]

Mavs racking up fouls

 

[Dr. Jones]

Orange is behind the suns bench. The colors in that arena have me all screwed up.

They did it out of the gate. It’s how they stayed even through three quarters.

But I’m done with this convo since we’re not going to convince each other.

 

[Finito]

Suns are getting shots just cold

 

[Dback Jon]

Well looks like it will not be Suns in four. Absolutely nothing is going in

 

[Covert Rain]

Nothing is working for the Suns.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Worst offensive performance in a while

 

[82CardsGrad]

Might lose this game before the 3rd quarter!

 

[Covert Rain]

Come on Book.

 

[Folster]

Oncic initiates all of the contact.

 

[Cheesebeef]

One mini-run and we’re right in this.

 

[Covert Rain]

No rim defense.

 

[Mainstreet]

Stay close.

 

[dscher]

Make a freaking stop

 

[AZ due I love BBQ]

Suns will win series. Heck, they might even win today. But, maybe today's first have should be eye opener to CP3 to tone down the arrogance, especially post game

 

[Chaplin]

How can you guard a guy when he’s allowed to drive his shoulder, extend his arm and travel every time he has the ball? Yeah, he’s unguardable.

 

[Dback Jon]

Luka committed for fouls on that drive

 

[Chaplin]

One mini-run and we’re right in this.

We are playing awful and only down 11.

 

[Cheesebeef]

If we can be within 7 or 8 at half, I think we’re in good shape.

 

[dscher]

No rim defense.

None. All series. Aytons still lost under there.

 

[Covert Rain]

Sounds good. If you don’t think they have made adjustments I don’t know what you are watching.
