You have to admit that this is a masterful flop performance though. The guy has been on the floor as much as he’s been dribbling


Of course I m not denying that Luka is flopping. But when you have the OG of flopping on your team it somewhat diminishes your credibility when you complain about other players flopping

I thought we were talking about fouls? Who averages more fouls per shot?


Just stop the whining. Booker gets softs calls every single game and Paul and Crowder taking dives nonstop.

Pointing fingers at Luka like that is laughable

Ayton gets more points but I think I'd rather have Lopez. Combine Lopez with another center as a two headed tandem and I think Lopez rings more to the table.

I know it sounds crazy. But Ayton literally can only score when he a layup/dunk. He cannot pass. And he plays good defense but not something out of this world defensively.

Lopez I think. Because he space the floor a lot and can punish down there too. Have a big on defense and strech 5 on offense in this game is huge.

Did you not watch the last series where he made a ton of midrange jumpers and hook shots?

Ayton is going to get paid by the suns; they would he clowns not to. They chose him over everyone in the draft including Luka

Lol and Suns fans complaining like hell somehow. Meanwhile fouls and freethrows and very close. Meanwhile there still plenty questionable calls on both sides.

Suns are losing because of the Mavs defense and the Mavs roleplayers actually hitting shots. Won’t take much for the Suns to get back in the game… they just need to execute.

Is he even a top 10 center? You can’t pay him just cause he was picked over Luka. That would be doubling down on a dumb decision

Luka needs to keep being aggressive. He’s getting calls- can’t settle for long 3s.

The Mavs desperately need a starting level Center. No team should have Powell starting.

Defensive rebounding is one of the big weaknesses for the Suns
