Mavericks @ Suns Friday game thread 12-27-2024

There must be a slight video delay as the announcers are ahead of the play.

There is

 

[Mainstreet]

audio is all funked up

There is

Yeah, it's all messed up.

 

[Mainstreet]

The crowd is cheering before a Suns basket on the video.

 

[BirdGangThing]

suns went small ball for like 30 seconds then brought oso in

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Mavericks 28 - Suns 25

 

[BirdGangThing]

at least suns are getting the ball down the court faster again tonight

 

[Mainstreet]

The Mavericks are shooting 10-20 from the field and nearly the same from three, 6-13.

 

[Mainstreet]

At times, Nurkic looks like he is playing in slow motion.

 

[BirdGangThing]

okay get nurk out

 

[Dback Jon]

Team is trash

 

[Mainstreet]

okay get nurk out

It's been painful to watch. Gafford looks athletic in comparison.

 

[NashDishesDimes]

I hate to rip on Nurk because i do feel like the effort is there, more so than most guys.

Nurkic has lost some athleticism due to injuries, so I don't think it's about effort.

 

[BirdGangThing]

i like oso but he's a liability on rebounds - bigger bodies just get position on him

 

[BirdGangThing]

stupid turnover after stupid turnover

wow kyrie with 3 fouls now tho

 

[Mainstreet]

If the Suns can't add another 4/5, forget about it.

 

[Mainstreet]

So much for the Christmas present. Now the Suns are handing out coal.

 

[Mainstreet]

This has been an ugly half for the Suns.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Mavericks 55 - Suns 39

The Suns play at the Warriors tomorrow, so things are not going to get easier.

It's frustrating when the team doesn't show up.

 

[Yuma]

There's NO reason a team with Durant and Beal only has 39 points in a half. EVER.

 

[Yuma]

Tyus Jones leading the team with 2 turn overs.

Might get on your phone to Mike Brown. I'm joking but only sort of.

How do the Suns play like they are stuck in mud or sliding in it?

 

[Yuma]

Nurkic is so loose with his handle.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic simply can't navigate down low.
