Ayton has that little foul line shot locked down. He needs to bang more on the inside tho

who would have thought 2 years in the league Ayton is now hated because of his offense not his defense.

I'm really not enjoying Luka's Lebron-like attitude where he just complains every time something doesn't go his way. It's frustrating when these are the "star" players in the NBA. It's a mockery of basketball IMO. Just play straight basketball.

That's what happens when you're given Lebron-like preferential officiating from your very first game. No one can make a legitimate argument that he doesn't get significant help from refs. I just want everyone to be called the same. Refereeing is far too subjective when some players are allowed to get away with what others aren't. I don't want to see games dictated by who has more preferential ref treatment. If you're a star, you should be a star without the calls too.

It's all about the line. Watch that.

Referring is dictated on that as they're controlled by undesirables looking to make big money from the line bet.

Once the line bet will be made or near impossible, the bias won't be there.

Hate is a strong word lol. Id say he has too much finesse though.

Nice drive through the paint for Ayton.

Has Jae Crowder made a basket in a Suns uniform yet?

One thing that is getting on my nerves is that Doncic drives to the hoop, and like 75% of the time he hits the breaks and you can see that at that same time he also uses his off arm to push off on his defender to create space. Never gets called for it, yet he does it so often.

We're up 3 and the line is -4.5, so, if my knowledge of how the line bet works, we are within the line, which means the refing will be unbias until we get 5 up.

Devin Booker has 6 turnovers and all of them are really dumb. Clean it up man!

Well Dallas only has two fewer fouls than us.

EVERY. TIME.

And most times he gets to the line from it even though he's the one that fouled.

I know Doncic is good but I really hate watching him play he basically jumps into or throws that off arm on every single play. I know I'm in the minority but I just don't enjoy watching him play

CP3 is gonna be great for book. You won't see him miss shots that open too often.
