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

[dscher]

Sometimes that tougher, more physically athletic team just comes in and takes it to ya... We'll have to play lights out from the outside or were absolutely donezo.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Cards/Rams redux

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Paul has nothing left

I kind of don’t understand why he’s playing.

 

[elindholm]

Maybe Johnson's maturity will help them settle down. Paul has abdicated and Booker isn't ready, so the Suns need a leader, right now.

 

[Suns_fan69]

These first few non-Luka minutes will decide the game. If Paul can pull it back, they'll throw Luka back in early. If Brunson abuses him, we're toast.

 

[Finito]

Crowder leading scorer

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Terrible start offensively, but the defense has been decent, with the exception of couple of switch mix-ups.
In theory, shooting percentages should even out a bit.

Not if we are cratering mentally. This team looks scared and unprepared.

 

[Folster]

Book was awful. Move the ball.

It’s nothing Dallas is doing, suns aren’t making shots, and not taking very good shots.

Did the Mavs of all teams really figure us out? Sure seems so

 

[Finito]

Suns running around a step to late on rotations.

 

[Mainstreet]

Good to see McGee.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Monty indicated that the Mavs were forcing Paul to the left and that adjustments were coming.

Anybody see adjustments? They look EXACTLY the same (lost) offensively.

Nope. Haven’t found anything. Not getting any good looks. Even with mavs compromising their defense by doubling Booker. Monty ain’t seeing what’s being given up.

Why dismiss any playoff team? Sure it's possible.

 

[Folster]

There we go. Ball movement.

 

[Dr. Jones]

What an odd lineup

 

[mojorizen7]

Monty says “Stay the course”

Yep. They’ve done very little to counter the Mavs offense since gm 3.

Suns better get stops by getting them out of the open 3 looks.

 

[Finito]

Running post plays for McGee ain’t the answer

 

[Dback Jon]

Sloppy as hell

 

[Finito]

What an odd lineup

Right

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Shamet waives off Paul and then gives the ball away

 

[Folster]

Can't give away possessions.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Ticky tack foul on Jalen there.

 

[Dback Jon]

Paul never misses those

 

[mjb21aztd]

Jeez man ugly
