Amazing that the Suns will probably pull this out even though Dallas is shooting like 90% on 50 threes

His and DA’s shots disappearing are so critical. Cannot have that and expect to win.

Not sure how you can say Suns will probably pull this out. Mavs have clearly been the better team so far. And Suns have shown nothing in the playoffs so far

Maxi technically is but hes undersized and hes not Draymond.......rest of the roster is defensive sieves or at best average defenders......

That Porz trade for Dinwiddie and Bertans was big for the Mavs, too.

How come the Suns dont use Ayton. He shoots basically 100% on shots within the paint.

I don't understand why they are giving up wide open threes. How is that not the first action to stop? That's literally the best shot in basketball.

Suns actually have the higher FG% right now. It’s ridiculous how they never seem to shoot below 50 % as a team

Feel like Ayton should be doing much more in this series considering his matchup

This is, quite easily, one of the most ridiculously asinine posts I've ever seen and for RGM, that's saying a lot.

Dallas stopped playing defense in the second quarter. Pathetic

okay, let's see how the game progresses. I won't be surprised if Suns win this game easily after Dallas cools down and Luka keeps chucking

All those 3’s the Mavs hit feels like they should be up by 15 and yet it’s relatively close.

Calls gotta turn it back up on defense. The refs called so many call now that both teams aren’t even being as physical anymore. That’s what brought intensity in all the games so far.
