These guys are too fucking good. We might be able to pull out a win or two but we can't small ball our way to 4 wins here. Sure hope I'm wrong.

I fear you are right.

i keep trying to find a reason to turn this game off because no chance in the series etc.

 

we need to start bodying the fuck out of PHX and Kidd needs to start bitching if they call it.  as usual the Mavs opponent gets to push/grab/bump and we can't touch anyone.

JB's defense has been low key awful tonight. How many assignments is he going to miss?

Wait why is Luka going back to the locker room intermittently. I think I missed something.

In the Utah series the 3rd Quarter was where Mavs would turn it on and where they'd win the game. This series is where it seems the game is lost.

doncic has to cut down on the TO's.  he's been lazy on some of his passes also.

this is a joke.  how is that not a foul on Doncic?

when the fuck is Kidd gonna quit letting the refs punk his team?

Lukas hurt. I think I missed it too until they said he was in and out of the locker room. You can see it now that last horrid series.

of course they don't call the same hook on Paul.

here come a few fouls for Doncic/Mavs now to make it look good after the game is over.

Luka is getting hunted. Pull him out at this point. This series is going to come down to Brunson and Dinwiddie. They just straight up have to have a bigger effect on the game or we aren’t going to win a single game.

Why is Brunson not on CP3???

Brunson has looked like Josh Green in this series. 

Maybe Kidd will actually pull the starters this time. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat. The Suns are way better than us. Not much else to say.

Yep full on mediocre. These fucks and the 4th quarter

I would say Brunson is costing himself contract money this series but between Dallas and NY he will get over paid.

Not much passing or team basketball by Mavs offense in this 4th quarter...  ugh

20-2 run for Suns

He’s been AWFUL on both ends of the floor both games. If he made money in the first round, he’s given it up. 

Paul has absolutely owned Luka this quarter. I’ve never seen him look this bad. I don’t know what we are doing on defense. They’re good but we are making it easy on them.  With our lack of athleticism everywhere, it was clear our team defense was Kidd smoke and mirrors. Sure wish he’d do something in this series. 

Dinwiddie and Brunson need to pull their heads out of their asses asap.

It’s really as simple, or difficult I guess, as that. 

Dinwiddie has averaged fewer than 14 ppg throughout the playoffs and has an abysmal shooting %. Brunson has had the worst two game stretch I’ve ever seen him play. These trends can’t last. 

But Kidd has got to address defensive strategy. He’s been covering up for Luka and Powell all year and has got to get to work here. 

Suns really stuck it in our ass tonight and that will leave these guys with a terrible taste in their mouths. 

These are the only things that give me hope. We must win Friday and Sunday both or this is over in 5. 

was exhausted and tapped out after the 3rd.  what a beatdown the 4th turned out to be.  was browsing tix for game 4, depending on how they look in Game 3, they might be pretty cheap

I'm trying to find any silver lining from the first two games and really cannot come up with anything. Powell and Maxi are completely overmatched and Brunson almost has as many fouls as made fgs. Luka is great on offense but is getting absolutely hunted on defense. This is pretty much the worst start they could have had. 

I used to do this to everyone at Gregory back in the day 🤣🤣🤣FR9h59xXwAM_nsO.thumb.jpeg.2c055a014d4fc95968a16ba3173a1117.jpeg

If Cuban ends up wasting Luka he is more hated than Jerry right?

Someone will eventually come play here for fucks sake.

Agreed. There is a reason Phoenix is the 1 seed.  They are damn good and deep. Utah's defense was terrible and allowed all our players to play out of their minds. Phoenix is physical and will not allow that. They have made Brunson and Dinwiddie scrubs that hardly belong on the court. 

Luka also has, what, 12 turnovers so far? That won't cut it either.

Maxi isn’t overmatched. Powell is. Powell is a very mediocre player - at best. Luka has scored well. His offense can’t be great when he is so careless with the ball. 7 assists and 7 turnovers. Not great Bob.

I can’t stand either of them for different reasons but for a similar reason in that they are both attention whores. I definitely hate Cuban more. 

Series over before it started, as it has gone exactly as most predicted thru the first 2 in phoenix. Maybe Dallas can get one at home, maybe not. 
 

But might as well start with off-season speculation and wants/needs. 

Foul trouble didn't help last night but really no excuse as when the game completely got away from us I don't think anyone was off the court.  More than anything they just weren't mentally strong at the beginning of that run.  We were only down 6 when the sequence of (i) Luka turnover, (ii) Bridges Dunk, (iii) horrible offensive foul call against Brunson and (iv) Paul jumper/stare down of bench.  At that point it was 10 with 8 mins to go.  Still plenty of time to get back in the game.  But out of that timeout we pretty much just completely folded and they scored the next 7.   We all know Luka doesn't have the roster around him but it seems like he wasn't capable of handling that adversity either (and/or was completely gassed).  I really hope we can come out with some fight in Game 3.  The Suns are clearly playing at a different level but expected more from the Mavs than what we saw the first 2 games.

Edit:  In sum Phoenix (with CP3 leading by example) are playing like the desperate team so far.  We have yet to match their intensity.  That, moreso than the outcomes, is what has surprised me.

Cuban is gonna waste Luka.  No one wants to play here.  Nikola is gonna sign the supermax.

Luka is going to end up like Barkley chasing a ring after the supermax ends.

He wasted at least a few years of prime Dirk.  He'll waste Luka too.  

The only hope is that Luka becomes so good he can overcome roster shortcomings.
