Western Conference | Round 2 | (1) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks (MAVS WIN 4-3)

[Mavrelous]

unwanted touching isn't cool guys. Stop minimizing it because you root for a certain basketball team. Gross.

I find your "Gross" reaction to a 10 year old tap from the back a bit psychopathic TBH, but to each his own I guess.

Giggles at calling me a psychopath for thinking that people shouldn't touch other people who have asked them repeatedly to stop.

Embarrassing how some of you seem to lose all sense of perspective on life and view everything from an extremely partisan lens. I'm sure your reaction on mother's day to another person repeatedly touching your mother after she's asked them nicely to stop would be to tell your mom don't be a psycho mom, just let the guy touch you.

I mean wat?

Why do you exaggerate the situation to prove your point? The kid touch her twice in video.
I have different expectations from people based on age/gender/environment, I wouldn't appreciate a tap in a back from a 30 year old perfect stranger, but if a kid comes to me I usually engage with him, not flip out, call security, and act as a madman by threatening his brother.
Your inssistance on ignoring the basic facts of matter at hand, specifically the identity and manner in which the touching was done, just to virtue signal your imaginary moral high horse is kinda lame.

Ah yes. Standing up for basic human decency and you get labeled a white knight, or on your high horse.

If you think I'm insulted by your labels, rest assure I am not. Call me whatever name you want. I'm going to continue to say keep your hands to yourself. And that kid wasn't 10 years old, but please tell me how I exaggerate some more. Like by saying she flipped out when she asked him nicely multiple times to stop and only when he didn't, did she correctly involve security so she could get her personal space back.

And great that you are cool with someone touching you. But you don't get to decide what is appropriate for others in that regard. I have a child with sensitivity to touch. She doesn't even like her friends or family touching her. My other kids are huggers. I respect their differences. And its a good reminder to me to respect others too.

Instead of deciding its no big deal for someone else and calling them a names. But you do you. I'm going to rescue the world with my virtue signaling on the internet some more.

How is that an exaggeration? The video was brief and didn't show everything. You think the Mavs banned those two fans for the rest of 2022 for no reason? Stop underselling what happened.

[Mr B]

I wonder if the Suns switch up their strategy to let Luka get his and limit the 3s.
I don't know if the Mavs can continue to shoot this well but the Suns were also shooting insanely well in the first 2 games

Haven’t they already been letting Luka get whatever he wants?

You started with calling people names, and you taking the time to tell me it didn't bother you kinda says the opposite.
The kid was 10 years old, or something close to that since I don't know them personally, and each has his preferences, and we all should respect it, but in a crowded sitting such as that, a tap from the back from a kid is not grounds for calling security, at most I'd make a remark to his mother.
This has nothing with me being a Mavs, just basic human decency not to make a massive fuss about a child's behaviour.

[Mr B]

If Chris Paul is so worried about a child touching his mom why not pay for her to sit in a suite?

[Archx]

How big of a chance are we giving the Mavs now to win the series?

Mavs not being able to protect the rim and rebound with ease will cost them the series. That's how i view it. We'll see soon though

Kid on the video tapping her shoulder looks to be very young. I understand it was annoying, and it might made her angry. Kid was wrong, he and his family was taken out with security. Everything normal. I might even understand CP3 losing his tamper. My problem is what happened next. CP3 going on Twitter. Using big words about someone putting hands on his mother. About his kids being afraid. People were in shock. TV commentators talking about the story...We all see in our mind some intoxicated Mavs fans harassing CP3 family. And then...We see aggressors, mother with 2 kids, video, how younger kid is "putting" his hands on CP3 mother, CP3 threatening his brother...You can call me whatever you want, but this is bull story.

[Statlanta]

I’m really surprised the Mavs have the series tied. I don’t like long series for Phoenix because then the Chris Paul durability factors rear their ugly head, like they have been for the last dozen years.

Nothing i like discussing more on a basketball forum than a drunk clown bothering a player's family
Not like the series features one of the best young players vs the best team in the league, the off court stuff is more interesting.

I m scared and hyped at the same time.
I believe we will see the eventual nba finalist emerge from this series.

Clearly u are watching the wrong video. Its not the kid that cp3 yelled at in the mavs jersey that tapped her shoulder, it was the little 1. So yeah, 10 yo. So we are not ok with a 10 yo tapping a grown up on the shoulder, but we are ok with a 37yo threatening a 17yo? No wonder the US getting closer and closer to the bottom of the barrel to live in. Kid should just told the pussy vp3 to come out and then have some guys break his knees. You do not threaten children. Specially innocent ones. You got kids? So some unstable woman says your kid put hands on her, saying it was your kid, but he is innocent, you ok with your kid being threatened?

Clearly the unstable woman in this case lied. Caused public grief and humiliation for innocents. I say 20m dollars is about right in the US world to make it right.

@Khalil Watch it, cant get u suspended from the boards. Its not only in AAC people get suspended on trumped up charges.

God those 10yo drunks. NBA really need to stop serving them at games

This entire thread is incredibly stupid. But this post is up there

[BlueSan]

Lets talk a bit more about CP3 and his mom getting tapped

[Mavrelous]

Both teams know the importance of this game, I expect the Suns ti come out swinging fir the fences, Mavs starting lineup isn't their strongest, they usually do the most damage with 5 out.
I don't expect the Mavs to be able to stop the Suns defensively like games 3 and 4, it'll come down to offense, and the chances are slim to be able to outscore the Suns.

Yeah... This is just CP3 being a bitch like always... A great player but a despicable little whiny bitch otherwise. All the flopping and taking offence to every single thing...
