Suns @ Mavericks Thursday game thread 2-22-2024: Post All-Star Break

[Cheesebeef]

This looks like the reverse of our last game in Dallas where we were down most of the half and closed strong, then came out and ran them off the court.

 

[Hoop Head]

15-0 run to open the quarter.

 

[Proximo]

Yikes, this is going about as badly as possible

 

[JosiahLee]

Welp.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Suns getting absolutely worked to start the half. Awful coaching, no offense game plan, disgusting perimeter defense, absolutely no hustle on the boards now.

 

[clyde2tw]

Doncic doesn't feel any threat from Allen, chaos starts from there.

 

[JosiahLee]

I hate how Luka is a legit star and can take over games. Booker & KD are great. But they rarely just takeover. Booker did it against the Warriors in the 4th quarter but we still came up short in that game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Chances are, any PG we could acquire would just end up riding the bench with Saben. We need a good PG so Booker can return to his best position. But anything less than a starter quality PG gets relegated to the bench as long as Beal and Booker are healthy. Not too many players of that caliber willing to play that role. I'd rather just use Saben.

Delon Wright is who the Suns needed. It will be hard to find a point guard that is much better than Saban Lee.

A center like Robin Lopez might help the Suns more.

Booker band aids the bleeding

 

[Mainstreet]

Need that shot by Booker. We need his points.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Durant is super passive right now. No contest. Not locking in on rebounding

 

[Chris_Sanders]

And he hits the 3.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

My gawd….. leaving Irving wide open. Defensive genius…

Yeah… Doncic is All-Time great special. Booker’s HOF special but there’s definitely a difference in their overall impact on a game. Luka’s size and elite passing make him almost a one of a kind.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Suns realize the season series tiebreaker is on the line correct?? Clearly Dallas does.

 

[Mainstreet]

Wow. What a shot by Booker.

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Booker!!! That’s some effort right there!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Book misses the FT le sigh

 

[Mainstreet]

Devin is on fire.

 

[BirdGangThing]

Book just shook the whole mav team

 

[AzCardsfan76]

Ok, Suns are righting the ship.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Showing good fight here!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

As a + / - truther, this is where + / - lies. Booker tied with a team lead -11 and that isn't reflective of the game

 

[nashman]

Suns seem to keep their calm and composure we took their vast shot now let’s go back at em!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

What the hell was that graphic TNA? Suns no FG in 9 seconds? Did anyone else see that?
