Keys to the game.
1. Stop leaving shooters open, if that lets Doncic score easily fine but you don't want to give them open 3's.
2. Free up Ayton and feed him!
3. CP3 needs to be a scoring threat early
4. Bring Biyombo off as the second center instead of McGee, maybe give Craig a few minutes to see if he can contribute. Holiday needs spot minutes also.
5. Drive the ball, Bridges, Ayton and Booker need to drive the ball more and try to draw fouls.
6. Cut down on stupid turnovers.

I feel good about this one. Suns have something to prove right now. They should be fired up

A lot of this basically comes down to our PGs should not suck.
If CP3 shows up, and Payne give you ANYTHING, the Suns win tonight by 10.

I'm not sure this is a great thing given what we've seen in the last 3 games.

Let’s see what Monty COTY Williams can do. So far Kidd and Green have out coached him with adjustments. Need to pound DA inside and be aggressive. Also can’t double Luka or cheat anymore these other guys are too good at hitting 3s

Well, their "adjustments" didn't exactly allow them to hit 20 3s at 45.5% or make us turn it over so many times the last 2 games. We beat ourselves.

I agree. I’ll save my bitching and moaning for if and when they get bounced. Right now I still expect a championship.

Cam Johnson needs to step up also I’ve been so disappointed in him since the injury. You would think the guy lost a leg based on his play. He was a huge difference maker for us off the bench for a majority of the season. Step it up!!

Bench rotation for this series should be Cam J Biyambo Holiday and maybe a little Payne. Shamet and McGee should not see the floor. McGee can’t guard the 3 point line and Shamet just sucks.

I hold Guthrie in a positive light, mostly because I still associate him with this:

Shot is horribly inconsistent and he looks timid most of the time. Not what I had hoped at this point.

Keep your poise and don't let the refs or little mini runs by Dallas get into their heads. Just play solid disciplined basketball and grind this Dallas team down.
The lack of poise in some of these games is both surprising and disappointing for this group.

the bench regression of Payne and Cam have really left this team very thin. Add on the fact of Shamet also blowing since he arrived it’s putting us in a bad rotational situation since these are the guys Monty will only play along with McGee who can’t guard a Dallas big man 3.

As our COTY has said, everything we want is on the other side of hard. Time for the team to step up and prove they're title contenders

Need Ayton super aggressive tonight. He should go after every rebound on both ends. There’s no one on the Mavs that can contain him. He wants the max, show it the rest of the way, no excuse.
I think we all know what we need to be better at on defense.. guard the 3!
It will be very disappointing if we go to Dallas down 2-3. I don’t see that happening. Suns by 10+ tonight. Let’s go Suns!
