That would be top 3 playoff runs of all time considering we finish 5th seed in west without home court advantage.

After the trade deadline, the couple games from Dallas looked like lob city. Trying to guard Luka and Kyrie from getting to the basket makes you weak to lob dunks over the top to Gafford and Washington. They looked scary for some stretches' after the trades.

This game is likely a penciled loss considering what we did last time on their court. It’s very difficult to beat a good team twice on the road.

Suns need to show up. No excuses and no penciled losses. Gotta start showing the league that this team is who other teams pencil losses to.

I doubt many teams pencil losses.

If you aren’t in their locker room than you have absolutely no idea what they pencil in. :evil:

Gafford has been great, but we have had issues in past when Mavs went small. Will be easier to play Nurk now.

Vogel: Alright guys, remember this one is a loss. Brad, you know what to do, no threes.

I could just see a coach talking to the players...lets circle this game as a loss. This game we might win though.

Ankle, nose, hamstring, and back injuries in the same season? Just wild

This means you're happy right? Because all you do when he does play is complain about him.

We’re a pretty scary team when our shots are falling. So far Suns are shooting 80% on 10 shot attempts. Feels like Nurkic will dominate down low I’m predicting 15-13/4 type of game for him.
