Team play and Book as a finisher, we are destroying them now.

Allen on the weak side give us so much space on offense.

With Okogie it’s pretty simple. If he’s on the court with the big 3, he can be great. If he’s on the court with other non floor spacers he’s a massive negative. Frank needs to figure this out.

in every possession our big three SHOULD at least touch the ball once

Just imagine if the Suns could actually secure a clean rebound or loose ball lol.I can't figure this team out! Up 15, but I'm still frustrated

This is better. It helps to make shots.

Why can't they bring that kind of attention to detail, hustle and focus from the tip? We need at least like 45 minutes of professional basketball from this group. I have yet to see that.

Well, maybe that New Orleans game. But they only played about 40 good minutes there.

Nice to see us putting the screw to them, but I expect this to be a close game come the end as ruling out an enraged Doncic would be a mistake. And we all know how poor the Suns have played in the fourth quarter this season.

Nurk isn't perfect but he def looks like he's having fun with this team. In this offense.

We heard before the season he can get agitated if he's not getting his touches. But offensively, he's got a really good balance going with the big 3 and Allen.

That KD/Nurk pick n roll has me on pins & needles every time.It's never clean, always bobbled, and results in a turnover 85% of the time.A bucket maybe 5% of the time...Let me chill, tho.We're winning!!

Poor transition D by the Suns leads to a boneheaded foul by Allen. If you let the player get by you, don't try to make up for it by taking a swipe. Take the L and get back on offense.

Am I the only one who thinks Metu really looks like a DA clone?

Vogel just can't help himself. He threw out that 3 stooges lineup of KBD/Eubanks/Okogie again and got us in a 15 point almost immediately.

Mavs are paper tigers and need to expose them as such.

16/19 FG at one point in the 3rd.

Amazing what happens when you don't just take the shots they give you and play aggressively.

This quarter has been quite pleasant.
