Mavericks @ Suns Monday (Christmas Night) game thread 12-25-2023

[Mainstreet]

The Suns are playing as individuals, not a team.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

sigh

 

[BirdGangThing]

Booker 1-5 and his +/- is -12

Vogel sits him and the Suns start competing

 

[95pro]

Metu was heating up with two made threes. Then Kd refused to get him the ball when he was wide open again.

Then next play Metu forced to take a shot and missed.

 

[nashman]

This team is so stupid for a bunch of vets seriously… Vogel pulls the hottest shooter off the floor to put in freaking JO really? So freaking dumb too to bottom!

 

[95pro]

Point book just takes book out of his game.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Vogel needs to go immediately. You have to see if a different voice can change this before the deadline. If not, it's a complete tear down.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Metu 4-6 10pts and 7 rebounds

 

[BirdGangThing]

Can someone please knock that stupid smile off Lukas stupid face

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Booker finally back in. Wild he sat that long with zero foul trouble.

 

[95pro]

KD as the primary option just doesn’t work. I’m not saying that he’s not a great player and not a super star. But we can’t run the offense through him with the offense we run. KD is not a facilitator.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant got a break on that foul.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Okogies full court defense has slowed Luka down some

 

[95pro]

JO wanted nothing of that wide open three. Passed it immediately.

 

[Chaplin]

I’m amazed we’re only down 9.

 

[Chaplin]

Finally some good rotations. Guess it can happen once a game.

 

[BirdGangThing]

KD goes to the bench with the Suns down by 9 Book now has the floor

 

[Mainstreet]

The Mavericks are there for the taking if the Suns would show up.

 

[95pro]

Other teams beat us up, we play too soft. Book takes a hit. 4 fouls on Exbum

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book back to the line on consecutive possessions - if he can't hit a shot he'll find other ways

 

[95pro]

Effin allen passing on shot. Ugh

 

[95pro]

Effin allen passing on shot. Ugh

Gordon passes and drives instead too.

 

[95pro]

Shoot the mFn threes.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

JO wanted nothing of that wide open three. Passed it immediately.

You just have to take him out.

About to be another run. Zero energy with the fans or the team.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Pay attention to the Suns body language.

It’s awful.
