Maybe crowder should focus on fighting through the screens instead of flopping

Crowder and McGee have literally carried Suns in the last 2 games

Because he is going to have another defender helping instantly next to him. It's the same with Luka but they have another player doing shadow defense and they don't let him play in his spots in the midrange

But they can at least get Bertans involved in the action and force him to move. As it were he was just standing with Crowder out on the perimeter

Nice try. How can they not giving him another T to kick Luka out?

What I am saying is basketball 101....if a top offensive player has 2 fouls in first quarter you run everything possible to get that man on an island so you can draw the 3rd foul. Looks like Phoenix isn’t hunting Luka right now when they absolutely should be to get him out the game


Are you disagreeing with that age old focus on going at a player in foul trouble ?


Hate to say it, but the league is not going to throw Luka out in the first quarter with 3 fouls. If Suns force it and they have to call, there will be more offensive fouls.

2-2 unless the suns go on a huge run; can the mavs keep the hot shooting going? They don’t even have Luka in the game at all yet

With several illegal screens to free their shooters, it sure makes it easier to get those shots off.
