Man I knew Metu was killing us but just saw the boxscore and the dude has 19 and 17 right now. Dude looks like a top 5 C whenever he's matched with Grant or Powell

Yeah, the Suns big 2 are showing out tonight (Metu and Allen).

KD looks like a scrub. Like he’s trying to suck his way out of PHX.

Sure makes a difference when Lively is out there. DJJ has done great slashing to middle off the Luka double teams too.
Some good action in the fourth. Good job, Kidd and staff!

Love it, 50 piece against Booker and the Suns.
Loved Booker at UK, but can’t stand him anymore.

He made sure to repay it with some key turnovers, so all good.

Good win for the Mavs Lively and Jones played well off Luka attacked the rim well.

Good win by the team. Thankfully our Luka/Lively duo was just better then G. Allen/Metu duo.

I actually felt like they didn't utilise Lively well in the third and it resulted in the lead disappearing... he was just waiting under the basket for rebounds and they didn't bring him up to screen and roll, etc.

Luka is such a monster. I honestly thought he will never fix his FTs but he did it (for now). He is ready.

Also DJJ and Exum are straight up better then Grant. Kudos to Kidd for benching him and playing a chunk of his minutes as the small ball C. It wasn't great, but it was better then the Powell minutes at least (which doesn't say much).

Best game I've seen from Luka. He was even good defensively most of the night.
I really hope his 3pt and ft shooting is real cause if it is, he might be the best offensive player in the NBA.

Luka is a Monster (Lively return was important too) and makes all other players on the court better...he is the new Magic.
Kidd loves playing handicap games so 10minutes Powell is still here.
Probably it's like Squid Games, he wants to test the other guys
We badly need a good wing.
Bye bye Devin "fake tough" Booker

I wonder if the Suns are regretting giving Ayton away. They could have used him against Lively.

I don't understand anything Suns did in the past two years. They had a nice core of Cam, Bridges, Booker and Ayton plus decent bench. If they were so fed up with Ayton, could have gotten a much better deal later on than they did with Nurkic. Think about it, they fumbled Luka just to get Nurkic later on lol...
Now they have an aging KD, always injured Beal and also often injured Booker with more or less **** bench. They tried to be greedy and might not even get into the play ins.
