Suns @ Mavericks 1-9-18

[1Sun]

Another game, another slow start to the third quarter...

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Doncic just is a star

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Finally misses one.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns can't hit anything right now.

Doncic just is a star

He is really really really good. Hate him tonight, but he is an amazing player to watch.

So the third quarter is the quarter of crap play of choice tonight. Got it.

 

[SirStefan32]

That pass that Doncic just made was incredible. He was doubled between the half court and the three point line, and he got the ball to Jordan under the basket.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like what I am seeing from Okobo.

Hey Marion sighting

Ayton is just completely choking vs Luka and his team.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton should be doing what Holmes does.

Ayton is choking against Jordan.

The reality is with Ayton right now is that he plays poorly against big strong guys. It's like he is intimidated

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And this is no different than he was when I brought this up during his college team. He is incredibly passive at times

I don’t what it is, but every time he starts a game badly, it seems to stay that way.

So where were you in game 1 when Ayton went 8 for 11 with 10 boards, 6 assists, a steal and a block while Luka went 5 for 16 with 8 boards, 4 assists but 4 turnovers (led his team to an opening night loss)? If this is choking, why wasn't that? And yes, Doncic has been spectacular tonight and Ayton has looked like a scared scrub but I don't think it has anything to do with choking.

End of 3rd quarter:

Mavericks 78 - Suns 69

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ayton playing soft soft man

No need to get defensive, I said he’s choking tonight. I never said he chokes in all games against Luka or something. He didn’t have a good game against the Mavs in the last one either.

The Suns need to call some play to get Ayton started. There must be something in the playbook.

Every one of those attempts were right under the basket on offensive rebounds.

 

[Mainstreet]

Finally Ayton gets a basket.

 

[sdscard4]

It's ok once we get down by 20 we will make a run to get it down to 3. Unfortunately maybe not enough magic like last night

 

[devilalum]

He makes a nice strong move to get to the rim then he tries to do a little layup and misses. Dunk the ball!

“Like?” He is. I have to remind myself that he’s a big happy goofy kid. The problem with that is that he was the #1 pick. He wanted to be the #1 pick. And he’s being paid millions. Time to grow up and use the incredible body/athleticism god gave you as a big boy now.
