OG is definitely defending his couch amazingly right now

Luka wish he was half the flopper that CP3 is.


True, but CP3 surprisingly wasn't flopping on that.

Paul from the elbow is automatic like prime Bryant. Insane. He has not missed one shot from the elbow in the playoffs i think.

Tbf tho I also said the same thing about the East's #1 seed in their road Gm3 earlier tonight...


I agree, the MAvs should have built a bigger lead. They are also playing worst offensively than in the past 2 games.

Usually his 3pt and free throw percentages are anti related. Weird both suck now.

Bryant wasn´t close to CP3 as a midrange shooter. Little bit more volume and CP3 would join Jordan and Nowitzki in the midrange GOAT debate.

Wait is 6-16 good numbers offensively?


He's averaging 40/9/8 and he's on pace for 32/18/12 tonight. Are you serious? :lol:

And the buckets he's missing tonight are when he's been guarded by Ayton for the most part. The real DPOY of your team.


What do assists and rebounds have to do with shooting %? I know who the DPOY is on the team, I actually watch the Suns more than 3 times a year. Scoring 32 points isn’t anything special if it takes you 35 shots to get it.
"Mannnnn I’m like the guy that pissed this whole board off saying literally all year no Mikal, no Mikal in the KD trade."

Dallas better hope he isn't tired in the first half, they aren't up enough for that. Suns come out hot and it could be a one possession game 1 minute into the 2nd half. If he's already getting tired, it's going to be a long second half for them.

I actually thought Luka was pretty close to a travel before the foul

Doncic shooting poorly and Mavs still up by 7. Their defense is holding so far. But they have to keep this up until the end and Luka needs to start making jumpshots aswell.

Mavs are **** Suns have been abysmal mavs only turned it over once and are barely leading.

If cp shows up to the arena instead of Dion waiters in a Chris Paul costume Suns are gonna a win by 10+.

Crowder and his effing regression (rise back?) to the mean. Was 3 of 26 from 3 against NOP, is 9 of 13 from 3 against the mavs so far. Career .346. Smh.

Crowder 3/3 from 3 and 4/5 FG... He had to turn into peak Klay precisely against the Mavs...
