Mavericks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-27-2024

[Mainstreet]

The hand is part of the ball.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

holy hell we won a challenge

 

[Mainstreet]

Referees change it to a no call after a successful challenge.

 

[Phrazbit]

This seems like a really bad challenge

I thought he got a lot of arm before the commercial break, my bad

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Mavericks 72 - Suns 64

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

the crap we're missing is so crappy - mavs are trying to give this game away but we can't even hit a lay up

 

[Yuma]

We need another 17-5 quarter.

 

[AzStevenCal]

We need another 17-5 quarter.

Or another 2 for 1 ejection.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns need to add at least two mobile big men. It's embarrassing how inept they are inside.

 

[Proximo]

It’s been awhile since I have seen both teams this bad offensively

Late eighties, early nighties there was some real ugly NBA ball gams.

 

[GatorAZ]

Nurk went full Robert Horry and got two better players suspended.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

I think every other NBA team wins this game except Suns. Blow up this trash and salvage our decade

Yeah, almost every night you could find a half dozen stinkers.

 

[Yuma]

From stat muse: "
What was the weakest era in NBA history?


Разговор The 90s were the weakest era in the past 45 years due to a major expansion in the league (addition of 6 new teams). It created a heavily diluted and low-talented league with inflated stats, creating a perfect opportunity for the most talented team to capture multiple rings.Jan 5, 2024"

Unfortunately, I think the decade has already been sold.

 

[Proximo]

Yeah I am very aware, I said it’s been awhile, not that I have never seen it before.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic, Plumlee and Oso are not the answer at center.

 

[AzStevenCal]

Unfortunately, I think the decade has already been sold.

It has but I'd rather watch a team of players like Dunn and Oso than what we have. We'd lose every night but it wouldn't taste as bad as this stuff does.

 

[Proximo]

Wow. This is a pathetic loss.

 

[Mainstreet]

I understand your point, but the Suns might be just as bad at the end of the decade if they blew it up and added late draft picks.

It's like having to choose between two losing hands.

 

[Broseph]

It's just amazing to me how much we have struggled this season, with all this talent on the roster. We are not beating the Mavs in a seven-game series if both teams are at full strength. The quicker we can nuke this roster and recoup our draft picks, the better; this team is not going to win a championship.

I mean i dont understand this, if you have picks you have chances to improve, if you dont, then you dont

 

[Mainstreet]

That was a clear foul by Beal.

And in typical Arizona sports fashion, off to an incredible start, 8-1. Enough to get everyone excited and then just absolutely have crapped the bed since.
