Western Conference | Round 2 | (1) Phoenix Suns vs. (4) Dallas Mavericks (2-2)

[Bruin]

Because we already have a 16-year career sample and he's also past his prime. He's still playing great but lacks consistency due to his age. If he were to win it, it's more like a cherry on top of a great career, nothing more or nothing less.

If you think CP3 winning a ring this year is nothing more than just a “cherry on top” then idk what to tell you

Would it affect your opinion of him overall if he doesn't win it? At his age, everything is a cherry on top. Wining this ring wouldn't change my all-time view ranking of him. Only if he were to be dominant in the finals or something, but that's not something we should expect of 37 year olds, it doesn't happen

Idk why you think we can’t expect it from him when he’s still an All NBA player. Like what just cause he turned 37 a few days ago now we can’t expect him to play great anymore even though he was just tearing **** up a week ago?

Yes, CP3 winning a ring (and potentially a FMVP) would absolutely change how highly I rank him all time. Idk how you wouldn’t

This game was a joke officiating wise but if Dallas thinks they are going to win in Phoenix I got beach front property to sell you in Arizona Lmfao ! Dallas has no chance with out the help of the refs lmfao!

[enigmatics]

I wonder where are all those Suns fans, who were talking about Suns next opponents after game 1?

I blame our idiot fans chanting Suns in 4 during games 1 & 2.

No doubt Phoenix is a favorite at home.
No doubt some of those calls on Paul were ticky tack.
But Dallas outplayed the Suns in both game in Dallas, full stop.

Sometimes its okay to acknowledge the other team plays well too.

But he is 7 foot ..look Jokic does everything Luka does better than him...that’s why he is the mvp....it’s not like that’s a slight on Luka...but Jokic is THAT guy

Aren't you Trae supporter? With that logic, how can you defend Trae above Luka? They have similar numbers, but Trae looks like a small kid in comparison to Luka.

I’m a Trae supporter if they both playing bad defense and Trae shooting better % making more points and assist with less turn overs per game.

But Jokic is so much better than Luka or Trae that it’s disrespectful to compare them IMO - reg season Trae better than reg season Luka...this years playoff Luka better than playoff Trae...just the facts.

To me Jokic is the mvp by a mile...only Giannis has a chance to be in the conversation but to me it ain’t really that close....

Luka is that much bigger than Trae, comparison isn't even fair. And they're not playing the same D, because Luka is able to guard bigger players, which Trae obviously isn't.

Jokic is 4 years older than Luka in his prime. Luka didn't even start to work on his body, so I can agree Jokic being better at the moment.

Luka baited CP3 early, and got in the refs ears after falling when he hit Ayton in the 1st Q.

And CP3 fell for it.

Luka got into CP3's head.

The last two were really bad calls that had nothing to do with Luka though.

But honestly even if this game were fairly called Mavs prob win. They were hitting volume threes at an absurd percentage and even though their D wasn't that great it's just too hard to overcome a 33 point 3-point differential.

2 clear fouls, the 5th foul was consistently whistled all series long against the Mavs, 6th foul was at least a foul, unlike 5th foul against Luka in game 3, or 4th foul against Brunson in game 2.
Anyone thinking Mavs are getting favourable calls, should take off their Luka hate blindfolds and face reality.
Our boys were punched in game 1 humiliated in game 2, they fought back and punched, when the Mavs go down, they go down swinging.
Go Mavs!

Wait.. you've seen the 5th foul called before? Where a defensive player runs over the offensive player and they call an offensive foul because the ballhandler stopped or crossed in front? Please point me to the many instances you seem to have found.. even a single one. I've never seen this called ever. You don't have to call a foul on Brunson but there's no way that's an offensive foul. Until tonight. But CP3 should have known the refs were keeping an eye on him and maybe played a little more conservatively.

But Suns in 4 guy is like your mascot and that was probably the most awesome display of masculinity I've ever seen.

I also think you guys will win it but that post is lame

[MrGoat]

After seeing some of those calls on Paul I'd start being really concerned as a Phoenix fan. If a Scott Foster game is coming in Phoenix this is starting to look losable

Yea literally laughed out loud

[SunsLyf3]

The 3PTA disparity is staggering. The Suns need to put up more threes if they want to win this series.

DFS isn't going to go 8-12 from 3 ever again....Phx will be fine.

Crowder wont shot 60% in this series, mavs will be fine

And CP3 won't foul out again. The refs likely won't be so one sided either since the series is going 6 already.

Oops, I mixed up tbe 5th and 4th foul, it was still a foul, it even withstood challenge, CP3 had it coming after his antics all series

You have though the same about Jazz series and games 3 and 4, please continue.

Why are you salty now? Wasn't this suppose to be an easy sweep? Regardless of what happens, Mavs more than achieved their season goal so, gg.

[TrueFan420]

Suns are pretenders. Playing the worst team left in the playoffs and making a meal of it. Can’t believe it’s 2-2

Seems like you haven't followed NBA basketball in the last few months

The Mavs are the worst team left in the playoffs. Their playing well not trying to knock them but talent wise their the worst left.

The Mavs can beat the Grizzlies 4-1...

has nothing to do with foster. doncic had two straight poor games for his standard not happening anymore. whats enoucraging is role players are stepping up and with doncic likely avging 40pts rest of series this is looking like reverse sweep.

Suns might be favourites, but all pressure is on them now. I'm not sure about their character.
