Mavericks @ Suns Wednesday game thread 12-23-2020 (Season Opener)

[1Sun]

I didn't think it possible, but Paul is actually worse than he was in preseason. If this is the CP3 we're getting, we're screwed. Can anyone honestly say he doesn't look completely done? He can't make a shot anymore.

 

[Mainstreet]

Liking Galloway. Instant offense.

 

[CRC83]

It's only Game 1. I hope the Suns can establish a winning identity.

Very true. Need to remember it will take some time for the team to gel...especially with limited pre-season/activities.

 

[1Sun]

Chris Paul won’t have an 0-fer in many games. Good to get it out of the way early.

What with the Suns makes you think this? He is shooting less than 20% in a Suns uniform.

Galloway is a scorer... and gotta say, I really like the defensive intensity. I really feel comfy with Crowder out there!

 

[Mainstreet]

Stix dunks it. He can fly.

Crowder does bring a good energy.

Could it be that Paul was our WORST offseason acquisition?

 

[Cheesebeef]

Nice fast break and Payne playing well.

 

[Mainstreet]

I liked how Payne confused Doncic and he missed layup.

hopefully Galloway can be like The Microwave for us. Liked that when they closed out on him, he took it to the hole.

[BC867]

Did I hear that the NBA is considering a 4-point shot?

Geez, I hope not!

P.S.: It's taking a long time for our posts to hold,
which causes duplicate posts.

 

[Finito]

Jalen Smith looks good he’s active and playing hard.

I love how Luca goes to check in and Bridges is right there with him coming in to the game

 

[Folster]

Luka looks so slow and grounded.

 

[Chaplin]

We’ve surprisingly been able to weather foul trouble.

 

[Mainstreet]

Booker doesn't get the foul calls he deserves.

 

[Cheesebeef]

CP3 has found Cam open twice from the arc. Gotta hit those.

Bridges’ stroke looks good tonight and nice take to the bucket.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Booker doesn't get the foul calls he deserves.

agreed.

 

[BC867]

Suns leading by 5 with 2:48 to go in the half.

CP3 still looking for his first points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bridges playing well already with 13 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Paul gets his first basket on jumper.

 

[BC867]

Bridges playing well already with 13 points.

That's beautiful to see! And necessary.

 

[Cheesebeef]

These refs are doing us zero favors tonight.

 

[Chaplin]

That’s a tough call on Jones.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns push lead to 10 points. Johnson playing well.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Even missing those two open 3s, Cam contributes with a nice drive to the bucket, a 3 and then a nice play on the break to dish to Bridges.

that kid is so much better than I ever thought he’d be.

 

[Finito]

Oh Cam Johnson that was nice I see you
