[Folster]

CP3 is toast. He can only give you a couple games a series. Last year was the same.

[Finito]

So this was a top 5 defense all year huh

 

[Finito]

Nah man.. they are exposing ayton HARD. they see what we see... They didn't do it enough in game 1 and 2. But here we are. They penetrate...we soften... They kick it to the open man. Regular season ain't the post season.

Aytons not in the game and the next two possessions are points in the paint for Dallas

Guess that’s Aytons fault huh.

 

[Covert Rain]

We can’t stay in front of Luka or Brunson. They get into the paint over and over.

 

[Folster]

Just take it at Luka every play.

 

[Finito]

BRICK

He's soft. Is what it is. He's a finesse player. I accept it. But we have to acknowledge what the other team wants to expose as well...

 

[Dback Jon]

Booker gets filed and commits a turnover but no call

 

[Finito]

We can’t stay in front of Luka or Brunson. They get into the paint over and over.

That’s how defense works you have to contain your man. Once he gets by you the defense has to make a choice.

Guys don’t understand that

 

[Folster]

Bridges on, Crowder off. Johnson?

 

[Chaplin]

Book is getting clobbered!

 

[Suns_fan69]

The crowd is just dying to get into it, but Phoenix just can't string anything together.

 

[Luciano]

Just feed Byombo

 

[Dr. Jones]

Man...... it's like we are stuck in molasses. And the refs are making it a bad dream.

 

[Dback Jon]

that should have been a jump ball

 

[Covert Rain]

No way. That should have been a jump ball.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Where the F does Doncic get the TO there?

 

[Chaplin]

How is that a timeout? That was clearly a jump ball.

 

[Folster]

Kidd called the TO but Doncic hardly had possession.

 

[FB94]

Kidd was calling TO before anyone had control of the ball.

 

[dscher]

Man...... it's like we are stuck in molasses. And the refs are making it a bad dream.

Oh no... Here comes the ref bleed in. Lol. I'm preparing myself now.......

 

[Covert Rain]

Again…Refs are not going to do us any favors. It would be great to see the Suns play pissed off right now.

 

[Mainstreet]

If a team can penetrate the lane they can get any shot they want. Suns may have to play zone.

 

[Cheesebeef]

If bench brings no spark tonight we are f’ed.

 

[dscher]

Kidd called the TO but Doncic hardly had possession.

Smart coach!!??
