Mavericks @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-15-2022 - Game 7

Although I've been predicting otherwise all along, this comment suggests we've seen the last of the little drummer boy.

Yeah I’m kinda think so too. But for what I have no idea.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

There's at least as much dislike of KAT is there is infatuation.

Yeah I want no part of KAT. He’s soft too.

Ayton only played 17 mins tonight. No fire.

Judging from Monty’s comments, it sounds to me like Monty had seen enough, lost trust and confidence in DA and sat his lazy ass.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Apparently DA went off on Monty

GOOD. We all see the BS. Monty got taken to the woodshed

Is that true or a guess?

Where are you getting this?

 

[Covert Rain]

I know everyone is bagging on our players but Monty deserves a huge chunk of the blame.

He was out-coached most of the playoffs. His adjustments were non-existent. He refused to play Holiday even though our guard play struggled.

He simply coached badly in the playoffs.

 

[Finito]

The brain just don't work.

This isn't to make light of the kid if he does have some mental lapses and fire...but how can you keep that on your team with what he's demanding? I think they see this. I at least hope they do. Better question.. what can we get for the kid if the words out about his mental fortitude?

This isn’t an Ayton thing. I think Monty has lost this team

 

[Mainstreet]

Dont blame Ayton for being pissed. This has been brewing for some time.

Care to share? If the Suns had given Ayton the supermax they would be in even worse trouble.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I’m sure he’s already on the phone with his local goat supplier.

Lol

They had to be separated

I agree. He was also thoroughly outcoached by bud and lue last year.

Unless you have access to a different report, it would appear you have this backward.

 

[Euphoria]

Monty and Chris and Booker in the press conference emphasizing they had a bad game which is true but fact is games 3, 4 and 6 were bad as well and last series vs Pelicans this team did look exposed.

Would love a link

When? At half or after game?

I’m actually glad to hear this. Wish Ayton showed that fire on the court. Of course we will get rid of Ayton instead of monty.

 

[sdscard4]

Bridges may get traded he's probably our most valuable chip...

 

[Finito]

What I’m seeing is DA questioned him. Monty responded with “what did you say” then that’s when DA didn’t back down.

Good observation. Didn't take much to notice the lulling around that guy gets into.. in the playoffs nonetheless?! That takes a special kind of player I tell ya...

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Man for what though? I think his value took a hit this playoffs too.

Who is reporting that?

 

[Cheesebeef]

I guess. If someone wants to debate that question fine. But digging up old posts from weeks and years ago like what happened at the end of the Cardinals season.

Not cool and definitely "get a life".

Huh? I didn’t dig up anything old. The Luka Ayton thing was debated and brought up LAST WEEK DURING THIS SERIES.

And the get a life stuff? I get you’re mad at the Suns but you’re making beef all on your own here dude. I ain’t gonna bite.

 

[dscher]

Both can be true.

 

[Finito]

Who is reporting that?

Just rumors at this point but where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Don’t know if this is accurate:
