Reality check. Talent wins. No proper asset management, self-sabotaging all these draft positions (#1 pick in January in the Tatum draft --> #9 in the end) and screwing up every draft for 20 years, except one (Doncic/Brunson), ain´t winning you a title.
BS. This team can compete with the suns if Brunson and Dinwiddie actually plays like they should.
Brunson has missed at least 6 layups this game. thats 12 points. Thats the difference.

It’s not like it was Ayton that got it, Crowder just slipped in between like 3 guys. Same thing happened earlier with Bridges sneaking in. Just bad effort and/or awareness on those.
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - SwisherPrice - 05-02-2022
If we're drafting players on both teams in this draft for right now:
1. Luka
2. Booker
3. CP3
4. Bridges
5. Ayton
6. Cam Johnson
7. And then you would get to the second Maverick, whether it's Brunson, Dinwiddie or DFS

Why would you draft Brunson or Dinwiddie over Maxi/DFS? They've been terrible tonight.
Bad time for Bullock to have his worst game of the playoffs.

Really needed Powell to show up in this series
Absolutely screwed if he's going to keep being a 4 and 1 type of guy

Where was this all game?

Good moral victory finish

Suns relaxed a bit.

Doesn't look like they relaxed but rather the Mavs actually locked in. Only 1 play I thought the Suns had a mental lapse and that was the free JB pullup coming up the court where no one stopped ball.
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - MaxiThreeba - 05-02-2022
I think Kidd is going to have to flip his rotations and play Powell against McGee. Dodo has defended Ayton better than Powell. He just isn’t cut out to play against a big of Ayton’s caliber.
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - SwisherPrice - 05-02-2022
Powell is done in this series. Go super small and take your chances with DFS or even Luka at the 5 on defense. Ayton is going to eat Powell for breakfast while also not being challenged on the other end

They gave up about three consecutive layups/dunks.
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-02-2022
They waited until the end to pick up full court. Should have did it earlier.
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - Jommybone - 05-02-2022
No, dudes. The difference is DFS at center.

What do you do with his minutes though? Green was a disaster on offense. Frank? Burke?
RE: GAME 1: DAL (0-0) vs. PHX (0-0)| 9:00pm CST - HoosierDaddyKid - 05-02-2022
Damn, Luka's got 45.

Imagine if Brunson actually played like the player whose contract he wants this offseason!

Dinwiddie has 8 points.
