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

[boisesuns]

So many teams in the west are vastly improved. I’m thinking we’re middle of the pack next year

 

[Mainstreet]

At least if they had taken Haliburton over Jaylen Smith the future would still be bright

Or at least kept Smith.

We already seen a solar eclipse today.

Ayton only played 17 mins tonight. No fire.

 

[sdscard4]

I wonder if Monty Is in the Dallas locker room saying how they made him better

 

[sdscard4]

Ayton only played 17 mins tonight. No fire.

This alone is worth a trade with not even anything close to a max

Seriously, is Westbrook a worse option for next year?

Yes.

 

[sdscard4]

You take the $40mil defensive liability on your team and when you find out it's a wash, you can apologize later.

KAT ain't missing anything close at the rim. He woulda owned the paint again the Mavs

This is the problem. Mavs are outperforming their talent, but will get better. Wolves are improving. GSW is back. Clips will be healthy. Pels are legit. Griz are great. Only team that's going to get worse is Utah. Suns might be 3 or 4 seed next season simply because everyone's getting better

 

[Euphoria]

Monty was asked about Ayton not playing the 4th and most of the 3rd and was asked if he was hurt.
Monty replied "It's Internal" and stared dead faced.

 

[gmabel830]

Two game 7s with an average margin of victory over 30 points. NBA - it’s Fantastic!!!

 

[Cheesebeef]

I'm down.

I’m down.

That box score is so nasty. You literally couldn't come up with a bigger team of chokers. if I was James Jones I'd want to get rid of everyone. This team is so soft in such epic proportions. Just speechless how pathetic these dudes are.

 

[TJ]

Nah, he wouldve been too busy crying about getting lay-up lined by everyone.

The infatuation of KAT on this board is hysterical.

Monty replied "It's Internal" and stared dead faced.

He must have done something at halftime, probably Yelled at them for not getting him the ball.

Although I've been predicting otherwise all along, this comment suggests we've seen the last of the little drummer boy.

And if this playoffs leaves a mark they could drop all the way to 5-7th seed imo.

There's at least as much dislike of KAT is there is infatuation.

It was an ugly 5 game stretch...we get it...but to call them all pathetic? Still my team and hope we can build upon the great regular season we had.

 

[Finito]

Apparently DA went off on Monty

GOOD. We all see the BS. Monty got taken to the woodshed

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Monty was asked about Ayton not playing the 4th and most of the 3rd and was asked if he was hurt.
Monty replied "It's Internal" and stared dead faced.

Wow. I have no idea what that means. But for a huggy lovey monty to say that . . . I uh just don’t know what to say.

 

[Mainstreet]

Monty was asked about Ayton not playing the 4th and most of the 3rd and was asked if he was hurt.
Monty replied "It's Internal" and stared dead faced.

At least the Suns didn't extend Ayton for $207 million.

Dont blame Ayton for being pissed. This has been brewing for some time.

The brain just don't work.

This isn't to make light of the kid if he does have some mental lapses and fire...but how can you keep that on your team with what he's demanding? I think they see this. I at least hope they do. Better question.. what can we get for the kid if the words out about his mental fortitude?
