Yep, that was some bum commentary. I was laughing at the “Jokic” comment. And replays clearing show Book was talking to the ref.I love the game announcer.. "Booker was yapping at Jokic when he was down"
Booker wasn’t even talking to Luka but hey.. maybe I should go back to my cave so I don’t hear the dumb bias crap..
Jesus… no one is arguing today was the end all be all.We gotta win a title, if we don't win a title in the next couple years an early March win back in 2023 isn't going to make me swoon when I think back.
The Luka games are always called with the offense making space by ramming into defenders. Just think, without having that move in his arsenal, Luka cannot score. You can't have a game where the main star cannot score "because of the refs." So I have noticed the Mavs games are always called differently.

But keep low pro rooting against this trade.
It was how we were completely and utterly embarrassed/destroyed/laughed off the court in the playoffs. Dallas just crushed the Suns. You can tell since then it really had an effect on the them. I think today was a huge step in overcoming that. KD changes everything.The Mavs won the playoff matchup which was huge for them and embarrassomg for us considering our record and our behavior. And the media kind of plays it up the same way as you're suggesting but no, they really haven't "absolutely owned" us the past 2 years.
Prior to last season we dominated them for several years. Starting from last season we are 8-6 against them including the playoffs and all told they've only outscored us by a total of 16 points during those 14 games. Our shorthanded match where we were missing 4 rotation players accounts for their overall scoring difference as they blew us out by 19 in December.
It looks worse for us (and feels much worse for us) if you start the count at last year's playoffs but even then, we're just down 5-6.
Do you see my avatar?I wouldn't dismiss giving up Mikal Bridges so casually.
yeahAnyone still wanted the Suns to have picked Luka?
Come on what’s the chances Bridges is even in Brooklyn in 8 years, or if we win a chip it doesn’t matter if he becomes freaking Kobe (he won’t the only reason he is blossoming a little is he is shooting a ton because he can now he’s their #1) he would never have been that here! Maybe he comes back here you never know but the trade was a no brained for us!A trade is evaluated over the course of years. Tell me what you think about 8 years from now.
Lol Mavs fan are so salty right now.. "Booker only talks when they are up" "Everyone likes to talk crap when they are up"
Umm what do you think the meme picture of Luka laughing at Book was.. pretty sure the Suns weren’t up in that picture.. Sometimes I wonder about people's IQ. I need to stay off the internet and go back in my cave guys.
Also, Booker talks all game long... Luka only reacts like a clown when he's losing.
I don’t understand this. Luka can score in many different ways as we all have seen especially from the outside. the suns like most other teams try to get physical and shadow luka up and down the court when he has the ball. They take his space away to prevent him from passing and shooting. He should be physical and bully defenders especially with how big boned he is. That is him evolving his game in my opinion.The Luka games are always called with the offense making space by ramming into defenders.

The storyline is too good not to meet in the playoffs. Of corse Dallas has to improve though, they can’t keep losing games or they might not make it to a rematch. Or who knows maybe they meet in the first round.I don't want home court advantage lets split here now and amicably and NEVER ever meet again in the playoffs.
I’d be more worried about Okogie’s confidence had he stopped shooting today. If you are are at least a league-average 3pt shooter you gotta keep firing when they give you those shots.all our complementary players have their shortcomings and strong traits. it's Monty's job to hide the former while utilizing the latter, and the opposing coaches' job to do the the reverse. Adjust the game plan and/or make better sub rotations more quickly pls, Monty!
Okogie is a really fine player but you cannot subject him to shooting 8 straight misses for 3s in short span of time, destroying his confidence and hurting team's on the way. All the while Payne, Ross, Warren, Damion combined for taking 4 treys. It's outcoaching.
PS: DA was active and huge with the two off. rebounds and putbacks. need to get him a bit more involved
That is so conditional. If we win a title? No we don’t need to wait 8 years to tell you what we think.A trade is evaluated over the course of years. Tell me what you think about 8 years from now.
Look forward in 8 years… sure. Wonder what Mainstreet thought about this team and its chances in 2015?That is so conditional. If we win a title? No we don’t need to wait 8 years to tell you what we think.
It will be worth it. No question. No hesitation. Not single fan in 8 years is going to say….well I would give that title back if we could get those players and picks back.
Exactly plus bridges is in a no lose situation shoot all he wants and doesn’t matter they have no expectations of a title or anything there let’s be honest. Here he was never EVER gonna be the guy he has some opportunity there but we will see it’s not like he’s 20 he’s been in the league along time, do people believe he’s gonna suddenly turn into a clutch superstar? Crazy honestly you got Durant he is worth way more than Bridges period…That is so conditional. If we win a title? No we don’t need to wait 8 years to tell you what we think.

For his (Ross) career he has a pretty good PPG that beats our dudes I think, in D. Lee, Shamet, Okogie. Besides, you can never have enough shooters. We saw that in this game.He’s a league-average shooter this year and for his career.
Big boned.... spoken like a fat person. There were articles in the offseason on how Luca was taking his physical shape seriously.... it dont look like it. He is still out of shape for NBA standards. The refs bail him out way to much, he has taken the euroflop to the offensive side of the floorI don’t understand this.
