Dallas the WAY better team in this series. They've played hard on D.
Suns are lost. Not enough shot clock left to save this season.

Booker with an all-time legacy stinkbomb.
I don’t put this on Booker. Watch when he touches the ball. They are running 2 to 3 guys at him when he touches the ball. You know why? They know he is the ONLY guy that can score on them. They think Paul is a joke and the other guys can’t score. They would be right.

If I’m Ayton, I’m telling Jones today that tonight was my last day in Phoenix and to let me go elsewhere. You fans can whine and cry about being “soft”, but when he’s being ignored for long stretches on offense, it’s hard to establish momentum.
They’ve absolutely blown not getting him the ball. He is also incredibly soft. Both are true.

You mean the same thing that happens to every star in the NBA.

I'll say it now... Now, of course. Lol But him and Ayton are my biggest reasons I didn't watch this team in the regular season. Last year was amazing...but these two have been seriously exposed this series and some of the last one.

Big differences is that Luka can pass to guys that can shoot. Booker passes and nobody can score. The only way to beat the double team is to make the other team pay with open shooters.

No way we change coaches. Monty is being outcoached for sure, but that's a pipe dream. This team is not going to get to the finish line as currently constructed.

Yup. This is just like the cardinals verses rams. I’m embarrassed to have repped them all year with flags in my yard and on my car.
The Suns have even been throwing up interceptions.
It’s just old age. He’s not favoring anything.

I wish he was injured.
Still, it is stunning that age suddenly hit him on his birthday.
