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

[Proximo]

We're actually doing better than I thought we would lol especially with KD and Book going ice cold and the 3pt drought continuing

Yeah.

I know this sounds crazy but if we just made the shots we should have we would have the lead right now.

About Metu? I didn’t disagree with what he said about the team.

About Metu being the Suns leading scorer this half. He was hitting the point that it’s inexcusable to have Booker and Durant not leading the charge and the team.

Pretty sure Book or KD could have 24 like Luka if they just shot as much as he does geesh act like Luka is a god because he takes lots of shots! If KD or Book had already shot 8 threes and put the ball up 16-17 times they would score more too.

I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with me about. He disrespected Metu the person.

Luka is shooting 7-13. Booker is shooting 3-9.

they should shoot more then.

Well they have been leading us all year and isn’t getting us anywhere.

I think them taking less shots is actually an attempt to do something different.

Luka's shooting 54%
KD 28%
Book 33%

All three are shooting 50% from 3 tho

Haha, it ain’t that deep….

 

[Chaplin]

So apparent that Point Book is hurting this team. Book is a good passer but he’s sacrificing what makes him a 1st team all NBA player to be the point.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Book with one FG and one assist halfway through 2nd quarter is a recipe for disaster.

 

[nashman]

Luka is shooting 7-13. Booker is shooting 3-9.

Missed the point Book hasn’t put up 8 3s from all over like a clown! He’s trying to get his team involved. He’s 50% from 3 if he shot 6 more you don’t think he’s got twenty something? Point is they have one guy who’s gonna take 30 shots probably and no one on our team will take that many that’s why he averages a lot because he shoots a ton!

 

[BirdGangThing]

Mavs shooting 49% from the field

Suns 37.5%

 

[BirdGangThing]

Rebound #11 for Metu

 

[Mainstreet]

It's amazing the Mavericks can get open looks and the Suns shots are constantly contested.

 

[Chaplin]

Booker screaming at someone to run back with him.

Luka makes those clown shots from all over the court and he gets his teammates involved.

“Why aren’t you running back, you turn the ball over and you don’t run back “

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book's yelling at Metu "Why aren't you running back? You turn the ball over and you don't run back?"

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns could use Allen to get hot.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Dallas moves the ball so well.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Grayson no hesitation

 

[Lorenzo]

Booker screaming at someone to run back with him.

was that him that said how you gonna turn the ball over and not run back?

 

[Chaplin]

What the hell? We aren’t even doubling Luka and their shooters are still wide open. There is no organization on defense! None!!

 

[Chaplin]

was that him that said how you gonna turn the ball over and not run back?

Yes
