Mavericks @ Suns Tuesday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-10-2022 - Game 5

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Why aren’t we hunting doncic defensively?

 

[FB94]

NBA refs are the worst hands down no comparison. Adam Silver can kiss my ass.

 

[Folster]

This team came out so flat after that foul on DA. Where's the intensity?

 

[Mainstreet]

Mavs shooting almost 70% from the field.

Ugh please not the refs stuff all game. They’re getting great shots and making them. We are playing like crap.

 

[Finito]

He's soft. Is what it is. He's a finesse player. I accept it. But we have to acknowledge what the other team wants to expose as well...

We’ve played the same defense for the last two years. 6 points in the paint since he’s left the game.

Our perimeter defense is failing. There flying by our guys once that happens then you force the defense to make a choice.

That’s how 5 out works. You depend on perimeter penetration. Now if they were scoring at the hoop then it would be because Ayton sucks

But they are penetrating and kicking to wide open shooters. Because guys on the perimeter aren’t staying home . That’s a failure of your perimeter not your center.

It’s ok.

But yes since Ayton has gone out the defense has gotten way better...that was sarcasm by the way

 

[FB94]

Someone please knock Doncic around anyone. Monty plays too nice and gets abused and wonders why. Someone needs to get a mean streak on this team

 

[Chaplin]

Ok so the Mavs wasted that TO.

 

[Suns_fan69]

First adjustment, no Payne, Shamet is in

 

[Finito]

Somebody other than Booker needs to show up

Fair enough. We're both entitled to opinions.

 

[Folster]

We should go under screens on Doncic. Let him shoot 30 threes.

 

[Finito]

Also Biz instead of McGee I wonder if we’re gonna see Ish and Holiday

 

[FB94]

Refs in general in the NBA just suck always have regular season or playoffs. No one will ever change my mind. Inconsistent as hell with no accountability

 

[Dback Jon]

Weak call on Biz

 

[Dr. Jones]

Bizzy is a guy I just can't stop rooting for.

He and Shamet are the first changes. Wonder if Holliday gets some run.

 

[Covert Rain]

Not sure I like Biyombo in this early but Shamet I guess is better than Payne. Still would like to see Holiday.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Also Biz instead of McGee I wonder if we’re gonna see Ish and Holiday

Yeah, you're right with Biz instead of McGee. I think it's clear Monty just doesn't trust Holiday for some reason, so I wouldn't expect him in unless there's garbage mins.

 

[Finito]

This

 

[Dback Jon]

Good attack by Cam J

 

[Covert Rain]

Suns are attacking the basket. Something we have not seen for two games running.

 

[Dr. Jones]

We should go under screens on Doncic. Let him shoot 30 threes.

100%.

And never leave Kleber DFS or Bullock. Let him shoot 30% and see what happens.

 

[dscher]

The penetration is what they want.. you have to adjust and cut it off to an extent.

 

[Dback Jon]

Missed three threes

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns couldn't hit a shot.
