Yea, shooting like 15% 3PT last series meant he as likely to revert to the mean in this one

What do you mean? I don't get it


He has more a morphology of a center/PF so that's why I find it unbelievable he can shoot 3 pts as well as that


He's always been a 3 and D guy imo

Refs are so selective with their fouls. Funny how Booker defending Doncic by putting his hands all over him is not a foul, but Doncic was called for a couple of very soft ones on Booker.

Crowder is just too hot... What is going on? The Suns don't need more firepower!!! :lol:

Doncic is such a whiner. Good lord. The officiating in this game is utterly laughable, but I'm not even remotely surprised at how favored it is for Dallas on their home floor.

It's crazy how many times Luka gets bumped when he drives to the rim, yet he can't defend Crowder even with the softest touch.

He's a 6'5" streaky 34% 3pt shooter. Wasting a hot night tonight. Good news for Mavs fans.

Officiating tonight has been above average and impartial imo. The last two fouls on Luka were bs though considering how much contact the officials are allowing.

Mavs is letting Crowder and role players beat them instead of CP3 and Booker

Love your silence on one of the worst calls in nba history earlier

Yeah, Brunson got bumped twice by Booker and no foul. The last two on Doncic weren't worst than this for sure.

Not sure how someone can complain about the refs being one sided when they send a team's best player on the bench on soft calls.
