Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 1-20-22

[Mainstreet]

Just like that, the Dallas lead is down to 2.

 

[Mainstreet]

Payne with another floater.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Brunson always seems to play well against us.

Could see that tech coming a mile away. He's gotta forget the refs and play his game.

 

[Phrazbit]

Booker... I swear, it is like 90% odds that if he doesn't get a call on one end that he is quickly going to get called for a foul on the other.

Brunson is a could player period.

Book needs to chill

 

[Mainstreet]

Bad miss by Bridges.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Bridges... Jesus.

 

[Mainstreet]

Halftime:

Mavericks 53 - Suns 45

 

[Finito]

Wow that was super lazy at the end.

 

[Chaplin]

UNACCEPTABLE

 

[Cheesebeef]

That was completely awful.

Bridges throws up one of the worst looking 3s I’ve ever seen. Give up an easy bucket to Doncic and then a turnover and wide open 3.

This is why this team ain’t getting a lot of hype guys. Every time they’re on National TV against a good team, they seem to lose in the last three weeks.

 

[Phrazbit]

Not the best final seconds to that half...

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are 2-19 from 3-point range and 17-45 from field.

 

[Finito]

Luca 19 at halftime and on his way to a triple double

I was told Bridges was a lock down defender

 

[thirty-two]

That was a horrible series of events. Bridges with the bad shot, then that steal/3. Ouch.

He’s the most overrated player on this board by a mile.

And always has been. And that contract is going to be a Shawn Marion-like anchor on our cap that will keep us from re-signing guys like Cam Johnson and prob had something to do with not picking up Stix’s option.

He really isn’t a lockdown defender at all. He’s gotten super overrated

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns first half problem... they can't hit open threes.

Honestly, Luka has only really had the one open look and that was at the very end of the half on the stupid turnover. 5-13 isn’t the issue. But we’re settling for too many perimeter shots. I wish CP3 would close the half and not Payne sometimes. I had a feeling we would lose tonight. But I also thought when the Spurs went up 12 in the 3rd we found a way to win.

Bull.

anyone complaining about him is not looking at the stats. He is damn efficient.

I do not understand the hate lately but it is completely unwarranted.

He also never steps up when Ayton goes out. He’s the guy with a big time salary now. Eh... forget it.

Just frustrating that he did nothing to add to his game this year and even looks like he’s regressed to 2nd year Mikal a lot of the time.

as If anyone can guard him when he is taking good shots. Give me a break.
