Suns @ Mavericks Thursday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-12-2022 - Game 6

[SirStefan32]

That was just terrible. I don't understand what's happening to this team. They look like they all forgot how to play basketball.

 

[FB94]

Monty waits too long to stop play when the Mavs are on a run. 5-6 point lead turns into 12-14 before he wakes up.

 

[AZ due I love BBQ]

Suns miss Tyler Ulis

 

[sdscard4]

Well could be worse...gotta be within 10 going Into the 4th...Milwaukee was the same last night

 

[Proximo]

Stick a fork in us tonight.

Just like I expected… get crushed to end the half.

AGAIN.

im not ready to give up yet.

first few minutes of the third will determine if we are done or not.

 

[Dr. Jones]

So depressing.

 

[dscher]

He’s been atrocious at both ends.

His length is no good if you don't know how to stay in front of your man...

 

[Finito]

Chris Paul looks so bad

5 points 2 assist 3 turnovers

But he’s sacrificing for the team right

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

He sat for 16 games in the second half of the season.

It’s about the minutes he logged in the games he did play. There’s been quite a bit of research on this topic and it’s deeply concerning for ball handlers in particular.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

And Paul played 20 mins.

He partied with state farm officals to much last n.... ugh

 

[dscher]

So depressing.

They get punched in the mouth and falter. Just the opposite of last postseason. Now that we have 37 year old CP...it's exposing itself even worse now.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ugly ugly half i dont get this team

Dallas has 10 made 3P. The Suns have only 3.

 

[Covert Rain]

Chris Paul looks completely disinterested and Booker is trying to do everything himself. No team offense. No team defense. Bridges isn’t playing on either end and the bench is a no show.

Mavs getting every scenario they wanted tonight.

 

[Cheesebeef]

It’s amazing how quickly I’ve gone from adoring this team to really not liking them very much. Like even if they lose this series, I’ll prob just think F them, instead of being heartbroken.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Is there something in the water in Dallas, because these guys are playing like they got an extra dose of estrogen.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

It’s about the minutes he logged in the games he did play. There’s been quite a bit of research on this topic and it’s deeply concerning for ball handlers in particular.

But that’s about the aggregate minutes taking a toll. His sitting 16 games eliminates that argument.

 

[1tinsoldier]

horrible 2nd. especially the defense and the passing -- like they didn't know what to do with the ball

 

[Raindog]

A lot of it is on Monty. He's about as inspiring as oatmeal when his single gameplan breaks down and we go through any adversity. He just sits on his hands until all momentum has evaporated.

 

[Finito]

Yeah I’m with you

Now I’m just angry

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Dallas has 10 made 3P. The Suns have only 3.

Yup. We missed four wide open shots. Including two by book.

 

[Finito]

He’s a motivational speaker not a coach

 

[Finito]

Just no sense of urgency at all

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah I’m with you

Now I’m just angry

I’m still more confused than angry. I don’t understand how a team that had answers for EVERYTHING all season all of a sudden has no answers some nights. No alternatives. No counters.

 

[Praxis]

I haven’t been invested since Nash-Marion-Stoudemire.

 

[dscher]

My problem is expectations more than likely. I keep expecting last year's team....it's my fault. Lol.
