Would be hilarious to beat Luka and his delusional cocky fanboys (love you guys, I know you are probably lurking ;)) on a b2b in their building with half the team missing. Why CP3 why you had to turn 37 in middle of the series. After owning them for years and half a series now have to read pussy Suns by these guys, never mind Suns still remain more successful in recent years.

Anyway, let Luka ball hog to 30/40pts. Let him score 25 on post ups in first half with single coverage like K.Johnson did for the Spurs. Steak power will last so long. Don't let the shooters get into rhythm. Doubt they end as bad as Spurs from 3, but we don't need it. Seen Mavs have a few of these games when they get hot from 3 and then teams come back in a quarter. Just play a team ball, take advantage of Ayton inside and bring home the win.

I think the 3 choices are obvious but I am surprised one person didn't vote playoff success.

Haha if Booker is as good as you delusional nut-huggers think he is, they should have no problem beating the Mavs, with or without CP3 and whoever else is missing. It’s not like the Mavs have anything outside of Luka anyway. Signed: lurker

you're certainly bored as hell to come here in the regular season lol. in terms of the game, any team can beat any other team as we found out from the rockets. will see if what remains from our squad can beat the Mavs.

I hate when games are on NBA TV. Pretty much makes all the streams the home feed, and in this case it's Dallas. Also all the pregame stuff is all over the place and not about the game we will actually be watching.

Okay so NBA TV is stepping it up and have their own guys doing the broadcast, at least one is Grant Hill. Love that dude.

:lol: For the people who think I hate D.A, I don't. He's just inconsistent and lacks aggression and that frustates me. So stop with the Ayton hater non-sense, it's ridiculous. How can I hate my fellow country man

Monty could have won that challenge if he called for it. Green threw an elbow at Ish and even if he didn't, he was in position for the charge

Defense is about 3 steps behind every possession so far. Surprised we're having this much trouble with how slow and predictable they've been

Not a game that we can afford Booker to have an off night.

Honestly the way challenges work anytime outside of the final two minutes is a waste of a challenge
