We need to put Nurk in for rebounding purposes that Mavs run should never happen. I think he comes back after the timeout.

Why isn't Vogel using any of our bench? What the actual hell is going on?

He's just another Monty Williams. That much is pretty clear.

And just like that, they're right back up to a 10-point lead. For all the pomp and circumstance of our team, we really don't have much substance. This team, as constructed, isn't going to get it done for us. We'll be lucky to get past the second round.

Playing 4 on 5 with Okogie out there.

sunskerr · Post #110 » by **sunskerr** » Fri Feb 23, 2024 2:24 am

they dont even bother to defend okogie

Royce needs to play over Okogie. These wide open bricks are killers.

SkyBill40 · Post #112 » by **SkyBill40** » Fri Feb 23, 2024 2:24 am

If Okogie is the one we're relying on to be open and take shots, we're screwed. Clearly they're sagging off him and daring him to shoot.

Good to see Doncic get floored by Nurkic though. And of course he's whining non stop as is his MO.

need to run more and play with more effort especially when okogie is out there because half court mavs are not gonna even look at him

I told everyone earlier this was a pencilled loss just no way suns can beat Dallas twice on the road. Last time we got extremely lucky with a huge comeback well it won’t happen this time. I wish there were more realist on this site. Many disappear because they can’t take their beloved team being criticized. Yes. This team has gotten better defensively and their pace improved but they still commit a ton of TO’s, take questionable shots and fall apart in the 4th Q. Wil be extremely surprised if we advance further than 2nd round.

Could be worse. 4th is not our friend though.

Smart D by Royce there.Put his hands up.Knew Luka was hunting for a "make up" call.

kennydorglas · Post #117 » by **kennydorglas** » Fri Feb 23, 2024 2:28 am

kidd masterclass in this 3rd quarter
just forcing us to take the worst shot possible.
and obviously we cant guard a chair thanks to our 'just vibes' coach

I need the court to stop changing colors

If we defend we will still win. Small ball is a good adjustment to an extent but I wish we'd play Bol Bol to disrupt them a bit. Grayson is just god awful on defense. Incredibly disappointing given that was supposed to be a strength of his in the trade. He's been better than expected on offense but worst on D.

This team plays zero defense
