Why did Brunson insist on the challenge? It doesn't look like there's enough to overturn.

that would have been a successful challenge if the G4 refs were calling it. maybe even flagrant on paul.

The play was bad though


Jokic has touch. Ayton has none. So yeah, if h could shoot looking to dunk wouldn't alays be the objective. But he can't. And he has no post moves either so that's off the table as well.
So dunking should be his priority if he catches it and is a foot away from the rim.

He doesn't have Jokic touch, who does, but it's not possible for him to have no touch, not dunk enough, yet shoot 63% FG averaging 17 ppg. So he's making a high percentage without dunking enough but has no touch? What is he doing to get those non dunk shots in then? Lol


What until he goes against Lopez and Giannis again. That "touch" disappeared. It's about mindset. And btw, laying it up doesn't get guys into foul trouble either. Dunking it or attempting to will.

I hate it with a passion but I got no choice lol.

It’s bothers me because it’s entitlement. I’ve seen Lebron do it when he doesn’t get a call or is just pissed at his teammates. But he’s Lebron. Doncic has a ways to go before he’s allowed to do this, it cost us 3 points smh.

You've never bumped your knee and needed a minute to let the pain subside? Not everything is acting


Anyone that has ever played basketball and hit their knee understands a true knee stinger....there have been times I've had to be carried off the court and then a couple minutes go back and I'm fine. Knees are tricky and painful as hell.


Ya sort of like how Doncic was hit on the hand and held it for a couple plays and now he's fine

Brunson grabs his mouth literally every other play. His dentist must be rich af.

Stupid for Kidd to challenge that. Save your challenge for really crucial plays.

The Doncic step back with Ayton in front of him kill me. I’m not trying to get blown out.

I don't see Dallas comming back they look to out they have totally stopped play on defense and rebounding and don't look like they can have energy to do it. This game is close to end if the Suns continue to push.

Crowder serously looks like he has 4 of the biggest blunts in the history of mankind as hid hairstyle.

Doncic step back 3's are like Giannis shooting a jumper, a breath of relief for the opposing team.

Kidd didn't really say whichever team wins this Q wins the series did he?

Can we just cut back to the studio? I would prefer to watch the guys make fun of Kenny
