Mavericks @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-15-2022 - Game 7

[Hoop Head]

Booker and CP3 should be out there. I'm pissed they've been sat.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Paul's multi-year contract is the worst one out there.

Ouchers 3 more yrs of not makin it to finals

 

[mojorizen7]

give Monty his walking papers

 

[Finito]

Ayton for KAT now. Kudos to Kidd man totally found a strategy to basically take out Book...CP and Ayton for 2 games straight. Wish we had that kind of strategy

No he didn’t. This was us blowing up.

 

[itlnsunsfan]

Cautionary tale for regular season fart whiffing.

 

[ajcardfan]

Did you see Luka spin around Bridges just then?

And?

They are not blowing up the team.

 

[mojorizen7]

Get new blood at PG

 

[Covert Rain]

And?

They are not blowing up the team.

They need to. Booker can’t be your best player. Ayton is too soft. Paul is too old.

What would be the point?

 

[Finito]

5th time CP37 will be on a team that’s blown a 2-0 lead

 

[mjb21aztd]

60 wins means zero now

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Booker and CP3 should be out there. I'm pissed they've been sat.

Monty doesn't have that set

 

[Hoop Head]

And?

They are not blowing up the team.

It would be dumb not to. This is pathetic.

 

[ajcardfan]

It’s a legit question, no? I mean, I think this series pretty definitively puts that debate to rest.

I guess. If someone wants to debate that question fine. But digging up old posts from weeks and years ago like what happened at the end of the Cardinals season.

Not cool and definitely "get a life".

This. They strike fear in no one. Two series in a row. That doesn't happen with solid #1 seeds IMO

Over 205 is still in play hilariously

Get new blood at PG

Maybe the Suns can trade Ayton for Haliburton. There would be a lot of irony in that move.

Well if this doesn't light a freaking fire under their ass for next year then I don't know man. We still did some great things unfortunately this game 7 will define us this year...and that's a shame

This team isnt being blown up over one series. IT still won 64 games. It played its worst basketball of the season at the wrong time. The blame lies on CP3 and Booker who got mad cocky towards the end, and both crapped the bed. IF anything, this team needs an attitude adjustment.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

We are at 200 with 2 minutes left!

 

[moosehead]

Funny - lots of folks knew something was amiss in the series with the Pelicans but it was downplayed. This team been flat the whole post season. Good grief what an embarrassment

I don't know if this is a light a fire under ass type of defeat.

And how do attitude adjustments come to grown men?... Roster changes.

 

[Devilmaycare]

This game was such a train wreck that even 98.7 is going to have to say something bad about the team.

They ain't going to do it. It is much less likely than it was with the Cardinals a few months ago. And nothing happened there. In fact, they doubled down.

A max contract for Ayton is more likely.
