I'm feeling pretty insulted here lol. I'm pretty sure its well known I'm a Mavs fan, and a pretty high profile one at that.

Teams returning home down 2-0 win at a pretty remarkable rate. Mavs will come out on fire. Can PHX weather the storm?

Damnit I should have bet some of my meager cash flow left from the crash on mavs!

Doncic's defense didn't look particularly better today. He still looks injured, and can't seem to move laterally. Mavs D was better overall, but I think today had more to do with the Suns having an off day.

My biggest problem with Doncic is that he misses rotations and then someone gets completely open, not that CP3 can hit jumpers over him. Mavs didn't miss their rotations tonight.

They missed several, in fact many. Not sure what game you were watching.

I ain't gonna debate it with a hater. Check 3rd and 4th quarters from game 2. Why do you think the Suns got 94 and not 130? Because they missed all the open shots?

Hater? Lol - you completely avoided the question. The Mavericks missed several rotations tonight, which proves your statement completely false.

Nice to see you in this thread being your pompous self again though!

No but seriously. If Mavs fans can say gz you guys played amazing in first two wins.. Now when Mavs win i'm reading like Suns simply gave up at the start and said "you can have this win"... It's a bit childish and petty. I'm pretty sure it wasn't all refs and CP3's birthday party. Maybe Mavs effort had something to do with it.

1st of all I didn't see any of this "you guys played great".....it was nothing but excuses from Mavs fans. Yourself, Bradybunch, Gimli and Bob8 being among the worst. I also saw plenty of ref blaming for the wins as well.

Amazing lack of memory by you here. Very convenient as well.

It's funny how i remember you reminding everyone how horrible Mavs defense is and how someone is getting cooked. I wasn't making any excuses for Mavs poor defense, i was saying how things are in reality. We still always said Suns are much better they play great. I don't know who has a selective memory here.

So why the Suns only got 94?

The Mavs played good defense tonight, combined with the Suns making a lot of silly decisions and missing 20 shots at the rim, which Monty Williams pointed out in his post game.

The Mavericks did miss several rotations tonight - and you are just a homer if you're denying that. Cam Johnson missed 2 wide open 3s where the Mavs missed him.

The irony here is we were were playing a Mavs fans versus Suns fan pickup game, I'd be the biggest trash talker out there. I just can't help but chirp.

But it doesn't pain me to credit the Suns for their long-term dominance over Dallas. Why pretend otherwise lol?

You said I have idiotic takes, which makes me an idiot. You're "playing the victim" once again.

I wouldn't really classify it as dominance. Most of the games the last few years have been competitive between the teams. The years before that both teams were fairly mediocre, and the Luka vs. DA thing was irrelevant imo.

11 straight against 1 team in the NBA is almost unheard of, and it was fairly likely it was going to end in this series.

Brunson is strong AF, whatever he lacks in length and speed, he makes up for it in strength, he really is a mini-Luka.

Feels different from this end.....

Dallas was competitive this year, I believe they led going into the 4th in all 3 RS games. But the first two games, they appeared pretty badly outclassed even though they kept in close until Paul did Paul things in the 4th.

Suns are really really good. Bench let them down tonight pretty badly as nobody really contributed, but still a really nice team. Ideally they'd have a better backup guard than the two guys playing, but can't have it all.

Spending too much time with Chris Paul. Paul had a similar scene seconds into the game

Lower center of gravity and all, but that dramatic fall is obviously largely down to Booker flopping.

Who wins?
