Suns probably is going to be much more aggressive on both ends and rebounding the ball. I expect Ayton and Bridges been much more agressive on offense. Because again with Crowder they are going to be the ones with more space and advantages because Dallas still is gonna do his defensive scheme well or maybe not and they play with much less activity on the road and the Suns beat them just for pure agressivenes but they still haven't figured out and made adjustments with the defense of Dallas. We'll see how the Dallas role players do on the road if they do the same like in games 1-2 they are out another thing is the bench the Dallas bench has been much better than the Suns bench even in the first half of the game 2 they started to take advantage.

I think Ayton has been afected of his game because of how lost he has been on defense. Luka is punishing him always if he defend sinking under the basket Luka uses a floater or a midrange which he didn't used in the 2 first games if he defends 1-on-1 on Luka which has been the most successful for him lol he is outside his position and Luka see the advantage inside or he attract another defender to pass and create the disadvantage if they play zone and Ayton is down in the zone Luka look at every shooter in the corner that Ayton is defending because he tend to protect the rim as a big. Laughable is that Mcgee has done it a better work in this which is weird because he should be still more lost with Luka out there.

Ya I'm sure you'd be totally ok with some random fans talking trash to your mom on mother's day then touching her after she tells them not to. I'm sure you'd just be like "stop being so offended mom, let the kid touch you"

Torrey Craig is back, extra body and 6 fouls to throw at Doncic.

If he's fully healthy, I really like him as a small ball 5 to combat the 5-out offensive dallas has been running

No DA simply gets lost because for some unknown reason the Suns do not make him a focal point.

Maybe a coincidence but the only game the Suns were comfortably in control all game was game 1 when DA had 25 pts and consistent FGAs

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. :roll:


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.


:lol: Seek help kiddo.

That foul on Ayton makes me laugh. Giannis would be fouled out first quarter if they called that on him

I know it's irrational but it annoys me that the Suns insist on always wearing road jerseys at home
