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

[svart]

Lmao at thinking that getting to the second round of the playoffs is an accomplishment. Jokic, like Luka now, has been to the conference finals. That's why Jokic is an MVP and Luka will be one before Embiid too. @ me once Embiid gets past the second round.

@me once anyone on the Raptors get's to Embiid's level.

Sure Embiid is better than anyone on the Raptors...hasn't really lead to any real success for you so who cares

Embiid stan making fun of the MVP fans on a Mavs-Suns thread. How ironic and lame at the same time.

Suns mod was so down that he took the subrreddit temporarily. HAhahahahahaha

Such a representation of that fanbase.

That's called a blanket generalization. Don't do that.

The pic of Luka smiling at Booker just might be my favorite sports photo of all time.

How old are you? Genuinely curious, not trolling.

Mid 40s I've been around. I was watching Mavs games back when Aguirre, Harper, Blackman.

My post might be a bit knee jerk, as a child I had Jordan posters on my wall that resonate with me. But that smile directed at Booker was just absolutely perfect. From the 2011 Finals I don't recall a singular image that encapsulate a series like that.

I like the enthusiasm but there is some recency bias there. You can never tell these things until later how much you really stay attached to them. You did say might so I figure you're good... that was such an epic win for the Mavs that I totally understand

You may have to wait 50 years to see another team with the best record in the league completely melt down in a game 7 at home. There have to be issues under the surface.

yeah most of us on the subreddit were complaining about the team even before halftime, and even before g7.

MVP is largely about narrative and perception and a big playoff run will change perception of a player.

Yup, you don't have to tell me twice. Tell that to the Jokic stans.

Jokic, Giannis, Booker and Luka have all made the conference finals in their career so far (that's 4 of the top 5 vote getters). Imagine being the one that hasn't...

Suns turning into Utah 2.0, great regular season, good team play, go deep in the playoff, and poop the pants when they need to win. You still need a star to put you over the top when defenses gameplan against you in a tight series, but CP3 and Booker aint it

I think even the clippers at full strength were beating this PHX team. CP3 somehow dodges the same "choker" talk that Harden gets but rly they arent too dissimilar

People fall in love with CP3 efficient numbers and classical PG approach to the game, but when it matters, you have to be there and make the right the decisions, make the hard shots, defend the important possessions, thats what teammates and fans expect from the leader of the seasons best team

just realized mavs could have gone scoreless in the 4th and still win the game

I've never seen anything like it. Brunson and Dinwiddie were scoring at will in the second half on easy jump shots. The Suns were not even making an effort to close out. Complete embarrassment.

The Suns spirits were completely broken by then and Brunson and Dinwiddie kept attacking.

I'm not seeing any excuses from almost any Suns fans or shying away from discussions, so yeah definitely an unfair blanket statement. Props for owning the loss/outcome to Suns fans.

You still have a great team though, so hopefully for your sake this convinces the FO to make a big move rather than losing further into the playoffs they may have stayed put. There is some bright side.

believe me, while every other fanbase is in clown mode, we're by far the most pissed about this result. at the same time, we're no strangers to having a **** team so it's not like we don't know what we will do going forward.
