Western Conference | Round 2 | (1) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks (2-2)

Damn Luka flopping is working. CP3 with is 4th

That was just an incredibly stupid play by CP3. Quit trying to blame someone else for every play. I swear, some of you people are worse than my 8-yr-old twins going at it.

[JoeyLightYears]

Is Luka becoming a flopper?

Becoming?

We've been saying that for years that he has to flop to get the calls. Jokic too. They are easily the worst reffed superstars in the league, finally Luka getting some calls, and he finally flops. Look at Embiid, the kind of this. You gotta show it to the refs, otherwise they don't call it.

Good satire. Breathe on this euro clown and it’s a foul.

Awful to the quarter by the suns

[Hsker4Life]

I hope Luka pulls through and survives this. Look like he’s almost died 7 times out there tonight.

Prayers sent.

[Yuri36]

I hate when Luka is having a game like that.
Not in the right way and will drain him more haters even if he ends winning this série and the ship

Lol neither of those things is gonna happen. Calm down.

Come on, bar a grave injury, nothing will stop him to win a ring eventually at one point of his career.

[OkcSinceSGA]

CP3 is a king flopper and master of abusing refs with rip throughs and other crap. Don’t feel sorry for him. Luka is just the superior actor today.

Not hating as it is on CP3, the ultimate flopper. Would you hate Bird for his trash talking? Luka doesn't have the luxury of winning with ease, do whatever it takes to win, as long as it within the rules and not dirty.

[Swish1906]

Man again the thread just stinks with hot takes.

Pauls shot is short, Luka has the rebound position amd jumps up and Paul jumps forward and into his back with momentum. Easiest call of the world

[UcanUwill]

Again Mavs outplaying Suns. Clearly more energy on both ends, and role players hitting all their shots.

Terrible officiating or not, Mavs would be up right now.

I dont know, Dallas just hit their 3s at very good rate. Still feel like PHO can take this and is better team.

It happened to King Flop CP3. I’d say all is fair in love and war.

How much energy would you have if refs stopping your momentum on half the trips down the floor. If it was only the Mavs it would be different body language, but these terrible calls are deflating. Give the Mavs credit these two home games are a re contrast to when they played in Phoenix.

[G R E Y]

Critical questionable foul at the end of a Q.

I think that was a foul.

But I also think refs could have let the clock expire there and a lot of times would have.

Paul was dumb to put himself in that position to pick up his fourth. That matters a lot more than the 2 points.

Oh I was talking about CP3's move being risky in that situation rather than whether it was a foul or not. Luka sold it as both went up for the rebound but I can see how it can get called either way. Agree about your last sentence - was really the point I was getting at but you wrote it more clearly.

[JujitsuFlip]

5 points 4 fouls for CP3, oof.

[Archerbro]

really bad foul by cp3. it was absolutely a foul IMO

I heard that Suns are 2 levels better team and now this crying. Priceless.

[Lakers In 5]

This game is a golden globe if I've ever seen one. Though, that being said, it's fairly simple: fight fire with fire.

Trash talking is part of basketball culture.
Flopping, simulating fouls and constant whining toward referees are not.

And coming back to Luka, the problem is that he is not only doing it again CP but against almost everybody.

[CloudWalker]

Doncic has gone out of his way to put on a flopping masterclass.

He's playing against some world class floppers on the other side, might as well give them a taste of their own medicine. And it's working so far.

[G R E Y]

How have the Suns attempted only 10 3s?
