DFS worked his ass off man. Dude was a 30% three point shooter his first three years in the league. Last three years he's at 39%. Nothing but respect for players who turn their weaknesses into strengths.

To be fair, CP has had that effect on every center he's played with.

Serious question, why does Powell start over Kleber?

Ayton is not a franchise player. You can't give him the ball and tell him to take over.

So the question is whether the league brings out Foster in game 5 or 6. If it's 5, then we might have an even line in what should otherwise be a blowout. If it's 6 the Mavs get a guaranteed win. Hard to say what's better.

Kleber doing much better defense on Booker in the last posesions worked for Dallas too. Booker is doing an amazing game but still the double teams and forcing plays are making his life bad. Maybe they should give the ball to Ayton in the post more and create offense from him.

Props to the Mavs. Did what they needed to do and held homecourt.

Suns need to pull their head out of their *** otherwise won't matter if we beat the Mavs. Will get walked in the WCF

Dallas wins two games where Luka wasn’t the best player on the floor....the Suns are in deeeeeep trouble



He has huge all around numbers but it still feels like he was doing nothing tonight. Worst performance of his playoff career. But somehow he was still effective.

I'm very surprised and impressed with Dallas! I thought the Suns were smoking everyone except maybe the Warriors.

Ayton is just a guy. Literally no impact on a game whatsoever. Gets a double double and wouldn't even know that he played he is that inconsequential.

He's a huge flopper.. #1 in NBA history. But he doesn't cry to the refs

Yes he absolutely does


Let's see how he bounce back next game. More fouls than point for him must motivate him a lot

Lol they gave luka his 5th early in the 4th for that here in the last game, taking him out for half of the quarter. Short term memory. Stop whining

Ayton is the biggest guy on court and gets ball at 1 foot and turns it over
