Suns have been refusing to pay him accordingly, but with CP3 and Booker, he should be able to just clear the boards and feed on some easy lobs.

Mavs really turned things around. Suns had a lot of success on offense when they targeted Doncic in the pick and roll. Now it is Dallas taking advantage of CP3. Forcing the switch and scoring in the paint. With the added benefit that CP3 is exhausting himself on the defensive end.

Yeah I’m actually looking forward to see how much he gets. I’d be surprised if they give him what he was asking last summer. I wonder who else might throw a bag at him

Whispers are we may have interest. And the cap space.

Really? I thought you guys were high on Poeltl. Unless the idea is to play them together?

He would slide nicely into that SGA/Giddey/Dort core

Mavs missing so many good looks

Feel like Presti isn’t ready to put out a respectable lineup yet. He’s all in on abusing the lottery lol

The Suns better pray that Bridges and Crowder score tonight because the way things are going Chris Paul looks like he might not score 10 points.

We def gotta do better in the second half, we already know what it looks like when we we don’t get the necessary production.

Bertans should get some more time. He is not that big of a liability when on the court, surprisingly

Azsports77 · Post #197 » by **Azsports77** » Wed May 11, 2022 2:56 am

Lol your wrong Chris Paul saves him self for the second half because the rest of the team is good enough to keep them close or take the lead !

We are, but as great as Jakob is defensively, and efficient on O within a closer distance, his woeful FTs and inability to space the floor on O are things we keep having to work around. Sometimes Pop would sub him out to avoid hack-a-Jak, sometimes he'd purposefully keep him in to go through the pressure. It's something we have to live with. And another twin tower scenario isn't a bad idea.

There we go Ayton. That was nice

Phystic · Post #200 » by **Phystic** » Wed May 11, 2022 2:57 am

Suns really need to feed Ayton more. Like most big men he needs consistent involvement to stay engaged

Who wins?
