It was a weird game. I didn’t think the Suns felt like they had to get desperate. Almost, like they knew they were going to win this game. Having said that? I also felt like they were playing with fire.

But it was not the Warriors.

Thanks for enjoying the win. I'm trying to do the same. A lot of people are harping on the negative and there was plenty to complain about in the final 6-7 minutes but ultimately a win is a win. No asterisks.

I'm glad we're here. The Mavs are really bad. The Suns are in control. I'm pleased with the 1-0 lead.

They do. I get more frustrated about things I see now as a testament to what we won't be able to get away with next round.. this is the time to work on those things if I'm the Suns
Suns will rise when they need to. They have all year. Chill.

Suns in 4 guy cracks me up that people think he's cool.

Adult fighting at sporting event.

The guy was legitimately attacked. He defended himself. The people still trying to paint him as the aggressor or bad guy in some way need to move on.

A lot of it might be that now that the Suns aren't the "upstarts with something to prove," they won't be quite as fully engaged until they get to the WCF and then (hopefully/presumably) the Finals again. I think they might be feeling (at least subconsciously) these first two rounds are a formality at best.

To be fair, he had a beer poured on his head and then got sucker punched. I am 100% against inane, drunken violence, but Suns in 4 guy is a legend.

They might have just played their best game of the series and still lost! I’d be willing to bet Luka not getting 45 again in this series! The hit a ton of 3s and still lost, Chris Paul had very few assists and we still put up 121. I mean seriously when was the last Suns game where CP3 had 3 assists? They don’t match up with us and Ayton needs to keep getting fed the whole game not just the first half!

Luka's statline looks more impressive than it was. Probably 10 of those points were scored in garbage time and he's essentially the Mavs entire offense. His usage rate has to be insane.
He can go for 50 every game and there will still be a high probability they lose all those games.

I see him wearing down over the course of the series with the heavy minutes that he logs.

The Suns are just a nightmare matchup for them. There’s a reason they’ve lost 10 straight to Phoenix.

Just like William Hung, Rob Kardashian, and Honey BooBoo are legends

Why are you here? You've been trolling all game. You literally posted the same comment about PED's 3 times because no one bit on it. Now you're attacking a fan who became a meme last off season for some reason.

So what's the deal, just feel like trolling or what?
