While I want CP3 to get a ring, Doncic is my favorite player in the NBA and I can’t stand Booker. So I’m rooting hard for Mavs. Lol at people that thought Luka would get swept or wiped out by the Suns. The top 5 in the west are pretty damn close.

Definitely enough contact to be a foul. Risky play by Paul either way, also risky of Coach to sub him back in with 45 seconds left

Again Mavs outplaying Suns. Clearly more energy on both ends, and role players hitting all their shots.

Terrible officiating or not, Mavs would be up right now.

Doncic has gone out of his way to put on a flopping masterclass.

Dude is acting like he got shot every time someone touches him and the refs calling it.

Becoming?


We've been saying that for years that he has to flop to get the calls. Jokic too. They are easily the worst reffed superstars in the league, finally Luka getting some calls, and he finally flops. Look at Embiid, the kind of this. You gotta show it to the refs, otherwise they don't call it.

I think that was a foul.

But I also think refs could have let the clock expire there and a lot of times would have.

Paul was dumb to put himself in that position to pick up his fourth. That matters a lot more than the 2 points.

CP3 dumb for going up for a rebound in the vicinity of Luka the Flopper.

Really given the mavs every single call. Any contact and mavs getting the call


Lol refs literally gave the suns free points by the inconsistent push off calls back to back. Same with Lukas T after getting hammered.

The whining is amazing, the Suns getting the favorite FT calls the entire series

Student is surpassing the teacher. CP3 getting outflopped and manipulated by Doncic.

Suns really screwed the pooch the last 4 minutes or so.... they had a really good opportunity to cut into the lead and get to around 5...... instead, costly mistakes had the Mavs push it back to 12.

CP3 has got to be better. Hes the Suns best player and its on him to carry them in the 4th.
