Mavericks @ Suns Friday game thread 11-29-19

[SirStefan32]

Wow, they called a foul on Luka!

 

[Mainstreet]

Don't mess with Cam. LOL

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are close to letting this game slip away.

 

[Hoop Head]

The Mavs TV crew has to be the worst in the NBA. I've never heard so much dead air during a professional broadcast. When they do interrupt the dead air it sounds like they're talking to someone who isn't there, like a 3rd broadcaster is muted.

 

[SirStefan32]

They are hanging in there, but the game is starting to get away. They really need to clamp down defensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

I'd rather see Bridges out there instead of Cam Johnson especially when he is not doing much offensively.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns have gone ice cold.

I'd rather see ANYONE out there instead of Cam Johnson.

Booker...Not stepping up. Picking up a dumb tech.

 

[Mainstreet]

Invariably the Suns will hit a dry spell where they can't hit the outside shot and the opponent will pull away.

They really need an inside threat when they hit those spells.

 

[SirStefan32]

Fourth quarter has been ugly.

 

[95pro]

They’re done

113-99. Booker draws a foul with 2:43 left

Or, you know, actually defend.

The defensive intensity we saw those first few weeks has been nowhere to be found of late.

I hope Monty isn't starting to lose the players, starting with Booker. I still love Monty as a coach, but I am not seeing the buy-in I saw earlier this season, especially from Booker.

 

[SirStefan32]

Does anyone still think that Booker is better than Doncic?

 

[CRC83]

Only question now is whether Doncic gets a 40 point triple double.

It's just crazy...

This is true but Booker just needs to nut up and make some crucial shots. You have scrubs like Curry and Hardaway making shots with people in their faces.

Does anyone still think that Booker is better than Doncic?

I do not. It’s not even close.

 

[1Sun]

Does anyone still think that Booker is better than Doncic?

More to the point, does anyone still think Booker can be the #1 option on a championship contender...or even on a playoff team?

 

[Mainstreet]

It's disappointing the Suns couldn't make it a game.

The Booker of the last week or so, no. But yeah, I still believe Devin can be the star of a very good team. I don't know what's going on with him now though, he just doesn't look right. He's saying the right things but he no longer looks like he loves the game and I have no clue what that's about.

 

[pokerface]

Just bring back Ayton PLEEEEEASSSSSEEEE

 

[AzStevenCal]

It's disappointing the Suns couldn't make it a game.

They fell apart at the end but it was a 1 point game fairly late.

 

[Bufalay]

Doncic is averaging as many rebounds as Ayton did last year.

 

[Mainstreet]

It hasn't been a game for awhile. SirStefan32 and I noted the game was slipping away. Without looking it up it was about at the 7 minute mark.

 

[Shaggy]

They just can't finish games.
