If he has to think about the money rather than the drive to win in order to play aggressive that’s a pretty big red flag for this generation of players
Idk what drives him but I do know he has to get paid. I’m sure that’s on his mind as well. Wouldn’t surprise me if majority of the league is driven by money.

If DFS was hitting shots this game would be a blowout.

With how much Luka and the Dallas bench is barking you would think they're about to be up 3-0 lol.

So.. Who will make a topic how Luka cooked CP3 in PnR tonight? Or poor defense from Booker on Brunson? Or that doesn't fit the narrative?

So now it's up to the Suns to show if they can guard this offense, when JB has the ball at least 50% of the time... Imo JB should be the primary playmaker. Doncic doesn't just need more help on offense, JB has to be the PG (and LD in the post, though that's not happened yet, aside for the first few plays... imo this should be their final form).

that topic would be appropriate if the Suns were trying on defense. they clearly didnt show up at all tonight.Archx wrote:So.. Who will make a topic how Luka cooked CP3 in PnR tonight? Or poor defense from Booker on Brunson? Or that doesn't fit the narrative?

You must not have watched last game. Suns were showboating and hot dogging like crazy.

“10 pt swing” lol the game was already over. This isn’t exactly a “Bird steals the ball!” moment not that you would know about that. The real Magic didn’t complain on every possession either. Anyway I am honored by your critique since you are the guy who thinks Kyrie is the greatest player ever. Hot takes abound!

Mavs can now also play defense for whole 48min, because LD won't get tired. So it's a whole another challenge for the Suns. Before the Mavs had no defense (only for about 30 min) and no offense aside from LD doing everything, now they have both.
The Mavs can still win. Imo if the Suns don't learn how to guard them on offense, the Mavs win the series.

Dallas have made it fun, a potential sweep would have been quite disappointing for a second round series.

So you're just going to ignore the Suns having the worst offensive showing in the playoffs and CP3 having 7 TO's in the 1st half. Cool.
