Game 56: Phoenix Suns (33-22) vs. Dallas Mavericks (32-23)

[Jym]

Seemed like a quiet Luka half and he somehow has 21 points

[Luka77]

PJ has had two bogus calls called on him. One with KD flopping getting a call and the other on a Gordon strip that was called a foul.

These refs have been garbage so far.

[The Jom]

If February Kyrie is real Kyrie, this is gonna be a fun finish to the season.

[dirkfansince1998]

Five 3s in less than three minutes to start the quarter. All of them scored or assisted by Luka.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Damn, they've come out on fire from 3.

[The Jom]

Nurkic’s use of his swinging arms is a joke. Can’t believe he’s getting away with that shit.

[dirkfansince1998]

Booker throws his shoulder into Green's chest and gets rewarded with FTs.

[Razzmatazz_Hopskidillydoo]

Gotten bigger, but the strategy is still just to shoot 3s.
sheesh.

sheesh.

At least they can get some offensive rebounds now

[Luka77]

Josh needs to learn to take a charge on those Booker chest bumps.

[Mavs2021]

Gotten bigger, but the strategy is still just to shoot 3s.
sheesh.

Luka always gets lazy on a lead. Two dumb poor heat check threes, another herky jerky two that he airballed, before he tried to get inside on the 4th attempt. Why can´t he stay focused and play professionally.

Welp, hate to say it, but Daniel Gafford seems to be a baaad defender.

Good offensive rebounder though.

Terrible matchup for him. Even Kleber is struggling. When the Suns go small KD is playing center. Nightmare matchup for any traditional big.

I agree, but I don’t think that is an excuse to leave his feet in some of the stupid ways he is choosing to do so tonight.

27 rebounds - Suns
28 rebounds - Mavericks

They basically traded for the good version of McGee that they tried to sign last summer. Today I actually think that the good plays outweigh the mistakes.

[speedkilz88]

How can you not call a foul when he takes Luka down while he's dribbling?

[KillerLeft]

Physicality elevating….Mavs showing signs of a little softness. I hope they can match the Suns’ higher gear. It’s like a playoff game.

[MarkAguirreWrathofGod]

Lively lazy close out on that last 3 by Okogie. He really needs to work on that.

[ThisIStheYear]

Luka. SMH. More low IQ play. Plus the Kidd challenge was dumb. The team needs to show it has the brains and poise to be top level.
