Suns @ Mavericks Sunday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-8-2022 - Game 4

[Covert Rain]

The idea should be to make Luka score all the points.

This. That’s what happened the first two games. Who cares if Luka scores 50 if the rest of the guys are not involved?!?!

 

[Mainstreet]

Bertans was outside the circle?

 

[82CardsGrad]

We literally can’t function offensively…. Amazing!

 

[SirStefan32]

They can't keep shooting 70%, can they?

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Mavs killing us with the 3s. And these three second penalties - sheesh.

 

[Finito]

Clown show

 

[mojorizen7]

They’re one of the best three point shooting teams in the league and we’re leaving the wide open repeatedly. Tue is what they do.

AGAIN, BOOK JUST STANDS THERE AND GIVES UP AN OPEN 3.

I feel like the Suns have enough defensive talent to play more man on man straight up D. Aside from Doncic, no one needs to be doubled or trapped etc.

Just guard your man. Dallas couldn't get around our guys early in the series.

Force them to dribble and drive. Idk man.

Won’t matter if we can’t execute offensively!

 

[Raindog]

Three second violation? Now you know the refs are straight up fixing. That's like calling carrying the ball. No ref in the NBA has called that since the 1980s.

 

[dscher]

This team getting embarrassed two games in a row might be for the best.. I can't stand losing. But this team doesn't deserve "wins" right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jae on target in 1st half.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Our offense sucks. Our defense sucks. This team is completely different.

 

[dscher]

Won’t matter if we can’t execute offensively!

And alot of that high percentage has to do with crappy perimeter d... IMO

 

[mojorizen7]

Suna are running at everyone with the ball. Less switching maybe. We have good defenders all over the floor.

 

[Mainstreet]

Cam Johnson looks lighter than he used to be.

 

[dscher]

Our offense sucks. Our defense sucks. This team is completely different.

A year too late.. sometimes, just enough when age starts to creep in.

 

[Dback Jon]

It seems like they’ve called it four times already in this game

 

[Chaplin]

It seems like they’ve called it four times already in this game

3 so far, once on them twice on us.

They call that nonsense but ignore how Luka carries the ball when he dribbles.

 

[82CardsGrad]

We are completely dysfunction offensively. No flow. Turnovers all over the place. It’s a miracle it’s this close!

 

[Cheesebeef]

Butterfingers Ayton tonight. Great. Get a damn rebound that hits your hands.

 

[FB94]

Again if crowder is carrying this team we are in serious trouble

 

[Mainstreet]

Mavs are 12-19 from three.

 

[Covert Rain]

Monty is being completely outcoached. Why are we still playing the switch when our guys clearly can’t recover to the 3 point line? I mean NOBODY is getting to those switches on time.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Butterfingers Ayton tonight. Great. Get a damn rebound that hits your hands.

Would be nice if someone else could grab the ball too cheese! 100% of our rebounds can’t come from Ayton!

Nope. Monty is getting his pants pulled down today and Friday.
