Mavericks @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-10-2022 - Game 5

[AZ Native]

Paul more turnovers than points.

What the hell has happened

Saving it for the next game.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Need to put Ayton back in the game.

Agree. Biz is working but he’s a zero option offensively so the mavs are playing off him.

 

[dscher]

We are really winning in spite of the Point God.

Yep. He's spent. His ticky tack crap is old... He did it last year....trying to draw contact and what not.... Maybe this year is matchup problem. But man...ugly.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Put in Holiday and keep Paul on the bench the rest of the way…

 

[Finito]

Book and Shamet need to finish this game

Does Monty have the balls to sit Paul

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul has had to guard Luka a lot tonight.

 

[Chaplin]

Agree. Biz is working but he’s a zero option offensively so the mavs are playing off him.

We’re up by 20 so that isn’t exactly a great strategy.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Not looking forward to going back to Dallas, but I am enjoying this stress-free second half. Nice lineup adjustments by Monty.

Hopefully CP3 gets back to normal next game.

 

[JosiahLee]

Brunson is a bit%*

I’m still mad he had the audacity to tell Jason Kidd to call a timeout and challenger a play while holding his face as if he was struck by CP3, only for the replay to show his face wasn’t touched at all.

It was refreshing for the call to stand as a charge…Seems like he is their best actor and was selling and getting everything in Dallas.

 

[dscher]

I have zero clue how CP isn't a liability against a fast perimeter like golden state... Yikes.

 

[Chaplin]

Paul has had to guard Luka a lot tonight.

Yeah that’s what we have to remember. Starting with game 3, Luka decided to try to abuse Paul and he did. The refs allowed it—we all know it.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Suns have gone ultra-small. Not sure I like this look

 

[sdscard4]

Without CP we ain't in this round...play through it CP

 

[dscher]

PUT IN YOUR DEPTH MONTY...

puss.

 

[Dback Jon]

Suns going cold

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I hate that shot by booker

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns need to take it inside.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Way too quick on that 3 by book.

 

[dscher]

Put in Holiday and keep Paul on the bench the rest of the way…

How easy is this?! Monty is such a D'antoni

 

[Suns_fan69]

Suns have gone ultra-small. Not sure I like this look

Nevermind, didn't see DA out there.

 

[Finito]

Keep attacking

Don’t start chucking 3s

 

[Folster]

Bad shot Book.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

We’re up by 20 so that isn’t exactly a great strategy.

Looks like Monty agreed with me

 

[ajcardfan]

Yep. He's spent. His ticky tack crap is old... He did it last year....trying to draw contact and what not.... Maybe this year is matchup problem. But man...ugly.

Yet, without him we have one of all time embarrassing first round collapses in NBA history.

For whatever reason, i am not worried. It's not like in less than two weeks he went from completely awesome to completely can't play for the rest of his life.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Ok… up 19z. I get it. But there is still over 6 mins left… stop coasting and play the F’ing game the right way!!!
