Yeah I think you’re right. I find it hard to believe anyone was saying anything good about the suns from espn.

To be fair outside of Crowder and book, no one else could either.

Well I predicted the Mavs would win one of their home games. Uglier than I would have liked, but we still have a chance to effectively end the series on Sunday.

Cam Payne plays like he's alone in a gym.
Suns will take care of business in gm 4. Dallas played with more urgency tnite but that was to be expected. Suns looked a little tired with all the turnovers and reach-ins on defense.
Not concerned.

Turnovers killed the Suns. They had 19 to the Mavericks 8.

Quite frankly we couldn't have played worse. Yet somehow we were in the game at the end

This team worries me at times. When the other team gets desperate and intense, we pucker up.
Bridges was crap tonight. Soft all game and finally tries to dunk. He had Luka and side steps him while he had 5 fouls.
Monty Monty Monty…
Mavs came with energy and the suns didn’t.
Zebras did us no favors with all the deflections going to the mavs that were not even questionable as suns ball.
Cp3 gets popped in the mouth and no call or review.
We were doa

Mikal took the most shots. Book and CP with 12 turnovers between them. Maybe instead of sloppy passing they should've just shot the damn ball.
All things considered we just took the Mavs best shot IMO. Plenty of bad play to go around. Chris just seemed so far out of his game tonight. Turnovers and passed up shots is just not him. Ayton just missed the usual easy shots. Bridges/Book/Cam J couldn't guard ANYBODY. The defense was horrid. I still think we are just fine.
Having said that? I feel like there is way to much pressure on CP3 and Book when they take a rest. Between Payne and Shamet they are not getting the support they need off the bench. Once again, Monty's lack of adjustments hurts the Suns sometimes. He seems to struggle with in game adjustments and his lack of adjustments out of loyalty is really putting unnecessary pressure on Book/CP3.
It's time. BENCH PAYNE.

Ayton was bad, but still 16/11 on 6/12 shooting
Booker was bad, but still 18/6 on 6/13 shooting
So not terrible but not great from either
Paul literally had the worst game of his career. 7 turnovers 4 assist. For him that is just so crazy.
Bridges was flat out abused.
Crowder was the star of the game
Our bench was laughable.
Cam Johnson has just been giving us nothing,
Payne is up and down tonight he was down
McGee is usually great tonight he was pretty bad
Shamet...3 points on 1/2 we didn’t sign him for that.
Booker was bad, but still 18/6 on 6/13 shooting

Between that and the horrendous defense positioning/rebounding, overall, I'm surprised we could keep it that close tonight. It was 9, but felt like 19. Those don't feel good...so hopefully they take that to heart for Sunday.

It's not shooting that hurt the Suns the most.
It was turnovers. Actually Phoenix shot slightly better than Dallas.
True. The flow to this team is way off compared to last year IMO. I admittedly didn't watch much regular season.

The turnovers, defense and all around effort were just bad for us. Like I said we couldn't have played much worse and we were still in the game

Kleber had 14 of the Mavericks 18 bench points. Someone has to guard him.

The Mavs took 14 more shots! Wow…
Points in the paint. Mavs 50, Suns 32.
Under no circumstances can that happen. There is no excuse. We are 3 centers deep.

This. 17-8 turnovers. Almost impossible to win with that discrepancy.

Monty should have given Chris Paul a present for his birthday.
