Brunson and Doncic combine for 13 tov. This wouldn´t be close but they gifted the Suns at least 10 easy points.
Powell gifting them another 2. To many mistakes.

Its incredible how many turnovers.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-20-2022
Good Lord Chris Paul is great.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-20-2022
Chris Paul plays perfectly the last 5 minutes. Luka isn't there yet.
LUKA!!

Is KP coming back in? Or should Maxi bring us home?
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - SleepingHero - 01-20-2022
Terrible transition D and poor ball management is dooming the team.

Already played 30 minutes. I guess that´s it for him.
Edit. Never mind. Minute restriction apparently isn´t a thing today.

I think he’s coming back, but I am not sure. He came back last night.

Welp. Guess it didn't matter

Am I too old school? Because the fact that THJ bails out the defense instead of taking the open lane drives me crazy. And it's not even THJ, any time DFS or Luka or KP settle for a 3 instead of attacking it makes me pull my hair out.

Well the problem is these guys can´t make an open 3 to save their lives. It´s all good shots. They are not even contested. Crowder made like 3 or 4 that were much tougher. Also somebody tell him Carlisle is not here anymore. He can relax. Also Payne is still a f*cking clown.

Well we know that this is going to be overturned because the refs never give the Mavs a favorable late game review.

Feels like the defense is playing the drive and willing to give up the 3. Mavs would need to improve their shooting to get the inside game going. It´s really obvious when a Mavs player pump fakes. Defenders don´t care.

seeing the difference between a championship level team and a very good team. Championship teams can win games without playing their best by winning the last 5 minutes. Mavs aren't there yet.
Sloppy too by the Mavs. But playing back to back is hard. Really competed hard, just too sloppy. And PhX knows how to win games late.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - dirkfansince1998 - 01-20-2022
CP3 is on another level. Always in control and making the big plays when the team needs him.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - KillerLeft - 01-20-2022
There is a lot to nitpick, but ultimately I found this game encouraging. This was a tough draw on the second night of a back to back, and I honestly did not expect it to be in question during the last five minutes.

Good loss...just nothing we can do about it, the Suns own us and will continue to do so for a long time. That roster is just a nightmare for the Mavs roster from every position.
RE: GAME 46: PHX (34-9) @ DAL (26-19) | PHX -2.5 Vegas Favorites - LukTheShadow - 01-20-2022
Suns worn mavs down. Mavs D in Q4 droppped down.
Good game, go mavs!

Mavs have improved their defense. Next up is last 5 minutes of the game. It has gotten a little better in this stretch but not championship level.
Interesting that Hardaway has been closing games the last few games. Not sure that is the best lineup. But Maxi has struggled with shooting the last two games and so has Bullock (he also had trouble on defense today imo). Getting that one more good player for that Hardaway spot is where I would look to upgrade.
Mavs fought hard, PHX just do what they do. Just really impressive they do this all the time.
