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.
Oh I was talking about CP3's move being risky in that situation rather than whether it was a foul or not. Luka sold it as both went up for the rebound but I can see how it can get called either way. Agree about your last sentence - was really the point I was getting at but you wrote it more clearly.
There was 10 seconds later a replay where you can see Luka jumping straight up and Paul jumping forward not having any position for the rebound at all
What is it with these takes?

I find this all amusing Luka pulling off a flopping clinic on one of the greatest flopper in CP3 and his team

Suns fans complaining about another player flopping is hilarious.
You have CP3 and Crowder on your team. You never say anything when those 2 flop.

Suns fans are whining about Luka's whining. 
First 2 games arrogant and now... You're not winning anything this year, even if you win series against Mavs.

Can we do away with the notion that playoff basketball is more physical and that refs swallow their whistles?

Luka is going to be the next CP3. He’ll be one of the smartest players this generation

Well in fairness Dallas actually played team ball in that 1st half and they played team ball in game 3. I guess Luka got tired of everybody rightfully criticizing him for being a solo act.

I think it’s more the 100% flopping 100% of the time and whiny face afterwards . CP is king flop but even he doesn’t put up that kind of volume and the whine face is missing as well. Luka is truly a master at the troll game

The irony of Suns fans complaining about Luka flops. I know being a fan tends to lead to biased takes but you can’t possibly have THIS lack of self-awareness

Just not in the right spirit and will drain him more haters even if he ends winning this série and the ship
Not hating as it is on CP3, the ultimate flopper. Would you hate Bird for his trash talking? Luka doesn't have the luxury of winning with ease, do whatever it takes to win, as long as it within the rules and not dirty.
Flopping is dirty in my book.
Sure, you can hate him. He is throwing his body on the floor like a 3 min bench warmer trying to prove something, I don't like it, but got to respect the heart.

You have to admit that this is a masterful flop performance though. The guy has been on the floor as much as he’s been dribbling

Re: Western Conference | Round 2 | (1) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks (PHX 2-1)
Serious question: Would you rather have Brook Lopez or Deandre Ayton?
Ayton gets more points but I think I'd rather have Lopez. Combine Lopez with another center as a two headed tandem and I think Lopez rings more to the table.
I know it sounds crazy. But Ayton literally can only score when he a layup/dunk. He cannot pass. And he plays good defense but not something out of this world defensively.

No more questions, your honor, we got him.
Is the pejorative “euro” or “clown” or the combination? I would say he meets both criteria so asking for clarification
