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

Bookers not foul ,that was a foul for Brunson

[Antinomy]

CP3 is usually better at drawing *that* foul.

But even he know he was a bit too obvious on that one.

[Gimli]

The Mavs are complete morons. They need to get JB going and stop with Luka doing everything. If they lose this one, they'll completely deserve it. They won Game 3 because of JB, now they are ignoring him once again.

[TheSuzerain]

That's a foul on Brunson. Not up for debate.

[Phystic]

LMAO finally CP3 gets called for this lame ass foul where he initiates contact

Since when is initiating contact not a foul? Offensive player initiates on drives and they call it?

I'd agree this is a lame play, but this is always a defensive foul. Suns even had it done by the Pelicans a couple times

[JoeyLightYears]

I would like to see where in the rulebook it says you can't stop with the ball

[Wolfgang630]

I do not believe games are fixed but I can see why people do when there is **** like this happening

What ****? CP3 stopping so someone can run over him??!

That has never been a foul

Better late then never. That should be an offensive foul

[Forbes]

I hate when players fish for these type of fouls. It ain’t basketball man and it’s plaguing the league.

It always has been a foul on the defense. Don't act like this is new. The dribbler has always had the right to slow down and even stop. That's the way the NBA has always called it. Only reason to call it otherwise is if they want to fix the game.

[grindtime22]

DIdn't they change the rule and now you can't walk in front of another player? It looks like CP3 was trying to create contact with Brunson, even putting his "back" far out.

Pretty sure they did. He veered straight into his path.

[nikster]

Monty needs to challenge this.

I hate that move but it’s usually called on the defender when the offensive player stops like that.

Yeah once again I hate the inconsistency from the refs but I would like if the league decided to call those offensive going forward

[CobraCommander]

Personally I think that's a no call... shouldn't be a foul on anyone there.

Agree, but if they called it, it's definitely not a defensive foul.

Yo every other game it’s a defensive foul...if Luka running full speed and stops and someone can’t stop in time who is the foul on

[life_saver]

LOL CP3 and his embarrassing foul baiting

[zshawn10]

Challenge stands now you have to put in Payne who’s been awful thus far

[JoeyLightYears]

The ****.. is Javee on payroll?

[Apz]

So, suns getting the feeling dallas got when playing at their home

[Phystic]

What a horrendous call.

But again, I blame cp3. Just like his 4th. Stupid play to even risk it

[Mak]

Lol. What was Brunson supposed to do there…. Great explanation.

[heatwillbeback]

Ok. Paul didn’t stop. He moved to the side. I like that call.

[ReddoverKobe]

Outstanding
