But every season he hits a wall of some sort and needs an injury break to get back to himself. He is not going to have that if they win this series.

In Reggie I trust. We need to pick up the tempo a little bit on offense. Playing against the end of the shot clock too much. Luka should have kicked to JB much sooner on that last possession.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in a game planning session. Initiating the offense so damned late happens way too often for it to not be at least a part of their strategy. Shortening the game?
Leads to a lot of bail out heaves though.

On the road in Phoenix. I'll take it.

I wished we would have squeezed more out of Bertans when he hit 2 3s in a row

Luka goes as far as the shooters around him. Mavs aren´t hitting their shots. Suns can double and collapse in the paint. Mavs only have 6 assists. Only 16 3PA. Should be in 10+ assists / 20+ 3PA range.

Mav’s missed a ton of open 3’s, bunnies and put-backs. Only down 3. Need a great 3Q!

Dinwiddie has more problems scoring against length than Brunson. At least Brunson knows how to create some space. Dinwiddie is not fooling Cam Johnson at all with his moves

PHX goes up by 3
Excited Kevin Harlan: THE SUNS WITH THEIR BIGGEST LEAD OF THE GAME!!!
Kind of weird first half. No real flow or energy to it. I’ll gladly take down 3 at the half. Come out of the locker room and get the ball moving. 6 assists ain’t good.

Getting into the offense late, bad passes and really bad misses. When shots aren't falling for the team, it's time to get to the line.

Low scoring game so far. Phoenix wants to run, so I guess the pace favors the Mavs.

3rd Quarter is where we've fallen apart in PHX so far.

This! Even if the defense collapses on Luka it’s too late in the clock.
Luka performance looks too much like games 1 and 2. The offense needs to initiate quicker and the ball needs to move.

Mavs only shooting 6-16 from 3 so far. Not blazing the nets like last game.

Been one of the best 3Q teams all year. Have some faith!

Game 2 we had a 2 pt lead end of 1H, we all know what happened after.
In this 3Q we need to hit first!
