Avoiding the third foul call? He is trying to avoid contact on both ends.
Also on offense. Less post ups. More fadeaways. Less bully ball.

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

I don’t think the Mavs shooting is sustainable and the Suns are getting layups anytime they want. I guess if Dallas hits another 20 threes in the 2nd half they’ll win

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


Ya bridges is weird because they for the most part been really clean looks

DA is missing because he's having to rush. Everytime he gets the ball they swarm. And DA doesn't get enough consistent shots in Suns offense to have any comfort handling double teams

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

I don't know you from the GB, but dude, you are a huge homer. Zero objectivity.

He might not make himself open for a pass since he has slow feet.

And he doesn’t demand the ball. He’s passive.

They just got too excited about how well they were shooting and forgot to play defense. Gave me Carlisle's Mavs flashbacks.

Not sure why Paul doesn't try to pull the chair out. Get Doncic once or twice with a travel and he may not go so hard in the post

The only word I can use to describe how Ayton is playing right now would be passive. He needs to be exerting himself on this game so much more.

One of my biggest complaints about Ayton. He needs to improve his rebounding.

With his size and athleticism. There is ZERO reason Klieber gets a board over him

They were gonna no-call it until CP pulled him down after the contact. Gotta call it then.
