Suns @ Mavericks Sunday game thread 3-5-2023

And the half ends with the man baby throwing a fit lol

And us losing like Jalen said.

This team’s continued inability to guard the 3 point line against the Mavs is maddening.

 

[Raindog]

He’s not going to be on an offensive heater every game but he is absolutely playing great defensively and disrupting the Mavs.

That's fine, but he shouldn't be firing up threes like he's Steph Curry when he is ice cold.

Sure we’re “losing” but please don’t bring up that hack Jalen Rose.

Not just him but Kidd and most of his teammates were whining and complaining about no call. I guess you could make the case that CP might have earned a foul at the start of that play but if so, the refs have missed a few hundred of those the other way. Regardless, the tip at the end was all ball.

It’s just they expect to get bailed out since they did most of the first half. Their confused the refs are on the same team thought for sure they get the call anytime they miss or good defense is played…

Okogie shouldn’t have 9 FGA while Ayton has 5.

We stopped going inside and settled for jump shots.

 

[Germz249]

Does Luka ever stop crying.. as much as I think he will have a better career than DA I don’t know if I can watch the guy play if he was on our team. I mean I got annoyed with Jae Crowder always flopping to the ground after chucking up a 3.

To me its likes just freaking play ball..

Suns are 4-16 from three. The Mavericks are 10-22. That's a big difference.

I dont really agree, when he has an open corner 3 he has to take it.

3kogie 0-5 from deep. CP3 continues to suck in the first half and will probably continue to suck until the fourth quarter. Ayton chugging along on his way to a double double, already with 9 boards. Devin Booker, he's going to shoot a lot, from all over, it's what makes him special. And God bless Kevin Durant.

Yeah, and it’s a bit of a fluke. I like our chances in the second half.

we still shot 55% overall

Okogie is a defensive specialist who can get hot on some nights. The Suns need to realize his limitations.

 

[Big Al]

Wow what a ******* joke Wood with about 3 OF in a row ther and nothing?

Exactly! Be nice if Suns bigs were given that same leeway on drives to the basket. Woods is offense only with a lot of refs help on calls.

CP3 and 3kogie going a combined 0-7 from deep didn't help

Whoever is left open in the corner has to take it. It is the best shot in basketball.

Hardaway JR killing us

Unless you are bricking it all day. Then you need to find a better option, or the coach does.

 

[clyde2tw]

Suns have limited and predictable offensive sets or Mavs are smart to channel Suns into the couple of sets of their preference. So, Craig and Okogie were forced to shoot despite no confidence. It's always either Book/KD or the ball ends in bad shooters' hands. It's Mavs system fully dissect Suns. Monty and Paul on the court need to adjust, otherwise we lose the same way we did last year in playoffs. Other than not hitting 3s, Okogie was great and the main stopper for Doncic and Kyrie.

 

[Mainstreet]

Hardaway JR killing us

Yeah. I like him as a player but the Suns make it too easy.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

What I called last game is coming to fruition . . . teams are going to live or die by okogie on offense. They are forcing our offense through him. 12 of our possessions have ended with him (9 shots, two trips to FT line, and one turnover). That’s two more than durant. Only book has more. He hoisted the second most shots. And it’s working when he can’t shoot. It’s on Monty to adjust . . . if he can.

STOP TAKING JUMP SHOTS AND DRIVE INSIDE!

I don’t call what has become a multi-game pattern a “fluke.”

 

[BirdGangThing]

Wow Durant relaxed for a split second there and Kyrie was GONE
