Series Thread: 1) Phoenix Suns vs 4) Dallas Mavericks

You pretty much described every star player in the league. FYI - Luca has flopped more than Dbook and CP3 combined.

Flopping? Sure. Nobody takes the crown from CP3. Shit talking? You really don’t see it a ton especially all the time like DBook has been in this series. Maybe win something then talk. I didn’t see them talking shit after getting skulldragged by MIL and guess what, Giannis didn’t do any shit talking.

Give Luka some time. He is on pace to crush CP's record. Also, Luka has been shit talking just as much.

What player does talk after they lose in the finals, or any game for that matter? During the game, almost all the greats shit talk. I want the top player to have that edge to them. It makes the games more intense.

Suns are the biggest frontrunner in basketball

Yeah he isn’t backing down bc the Suns players keep talking shit to the bench. Every time the Suns get a lead DBook thinks he is some hot shot. You do that to the W’s and they are going to put him on the floor hard. He wouldn’t dare do that, keep talking shit to an inferior opponent. It’s lame. They SHOULD win this series, it’s Luka and a bunch of guys. The Suns need to worry about winning a championship, it’s ship or bust and CP3 doesn’t have many years left

Talking shit is part of the game just like it is here. Lol

All respect to Devon Booker the kid has developed and can play. It’s the flipping and crying that makes me laugh

All respect to Giannis going about his biz and talking with his game.

I would call Brunson more than just a guy. Luka and Jalen give Dallas a great backcourt.

Not many teams can boast that 1-2 punch.

That ball was off Luka... Three free points for DFS and the Mavs.

 

[thunderc]

I think this one ends tonight as well

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Doesn't look like Dallas wants to be just another Philly.

Doesn’t look that way. A lot of game to go. Mavs are a confident bunch at home

 

[Shanemansj13]

Man, the Suns have probably the most talented roster in the NBA. Coming into the series, the Mavs had no business forcing 7 games but Luka gets everyone involved and they play tough defense.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Suns don't have it tonight, folks.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Nice little run at the end of half

 

[msgkings322]

Maybe not?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Suns don't have it tonight, folks.

Well by that logic, they haven’t had it 3 nights in this series so far. They have no business losing this series

 

[Scooby-Doo]

I can’t believe they lost this series.

 

[msgkings322]

They won't. That's what happens when teams are pretty close. Suns are better but not by a whole lot. Same with Warriors Grizzlies. Celtics and Bucks are basically even (without Middleton).

In this series the home team has won every game. I guess the series hasn't started yet LOL

Didn't watch Games 3 and 4, but man this second quarter tonight was brutal.

 

[Shanemansj13]

3 games loses a series? News to me!! Most people didn’t give the Mavs a shot and this could be going 7

Never said they would. I had Suns in 6. The talent disparity is pretty lopsided but the Mavs are fighters and they have the best player in the series. Making it close if they don’t win
