Book has to have some type of illness this season. He looks terrible.

 

[Mainstreet]

They've also been watching the Mavs, who are missing 4 of their 5 starters. Hard to ignore that. Doesn't mean we won't blow it, but looking at the roster situation for both teams, this pregame prediction is pretty much a no-brainer, no matter how much you don't like the Suns lineup. The fact that Dallas has a 25% chance of winning is much more telling than you make it out to be.

I don't like the idea of a team with the highest payroll in the NBA, playing 5 games below .500.

The Suns should roll over the Mavericks with all the players they have out. If they don't, something is seriously wrong.

i am sooooooo ****ing over bud not playing dunn

With you on that. The team is significantly better defensively with Dunn out there. Mind blowing that Collin Gillespie isn't getting more minutes especially playing a significant role in that Clippers game.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like the way Plumlee is playing today. Too bad he couldn't hang onto that key rebound against the Nuggets.

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin Booker going to work inside with 13 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Durant with another turnover. He has five.

 

[Mainstreet]

Timeout Suns leading 89-78.

 

[BirdGangThing]

wow - dallas basically outta players

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 3rd quarter:

Suns 97 - Mavericks 86

 

[AzCardsfan76]

wow - dallas basically outta players

And are still within reach of winning this game. Man the Suns stink.

 

[nashman]

Absolutely ridiculous that Dunn even Colin not getting any minutes what the hell is Bud doing?

 

[Mainstreet]

Dallas cuts the Suns lead to 105-97 with 9 minutes left in the game.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Absolutely ridiculous that Dunn even Colin not getting any minutes what the hell is Bud doing?

Who knows, Bud is proving to be an absolute moron.

 

[nashman]

This team is just lazy don’t want to close out on 3s literally just stop and watch guys shoot wide open set your feet type practice threes! Stellar defensive philosophy we have….

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns push up their lead to 16 with 5:45 left.

 

[Phrazbit]

Klay Thompson is flat out trash at this stage of his career.

 

[nashman]

When we just play D and execute on offense it looks like a total different team! How can we not just get the sustained effort rather than relying on team to miss open shots. It’s literally the most lazy team at some points just maddening! Don’t these guys have freaking any pride? Gonna be a disaster if they miss the playoffs with the highest payroll what a joke!

 

[GatorAZ]

I’m surprised there’s that many fans there.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gillespie for three.

 

[Mainstreet]

Final:

Suns 125 - Mavericks 116

 

[BirdGangThing]
