Game 2: Mavs (1-0) at Suns (1-1) 9:00 pm - The Jom - 10-26-2024
Suns on a back to back after giving up a big lead to the Lakers. Vegas has the Mavs minus 2.5.
Must win game!

Why do I keep underestimating the Lakers thinking Lebron is "washed?" The Suns looked invincible for three quarters till Reeves, Lebron and company lowered the boom.

Interesting game. I would say star power is approximately the same on both teams, but Mavs probably have better supporting cast, especially at center. Luka loves playing against Phoenix and he should abuse Nurkic and Plumlee. First real test for Mavs defense

I dunno buddy, but the zebras really come through for the Lakers at home in the 4th. And first quarter leads are never save in the NBA.

@GrantAfseth
Bradley Beal is a game-time decision, while Grayson Allen is considered unlikely to play.

@coopmavs
Mavs starters: Thompson, Washington, Gafford, Irving, Doncic

@MFollowill
Just confirmed...Bradley Beal is out for the Suns tonight. Right elbow issue that occurred last night. Mavs at Suns on KFAA, Mavstv and OTA broadcast affiliates in Texas. Official tipoff is 9:13p CDT.

2nd night of very poor shooting. Phoenix missing a great player on a back to back so no excuses tonight.

Kai, PJ, Gafford, Marshall, and Hardy a combined 5-19. Grimes hasn't even assayed a shot.
RE: Game 2: Mavs (1-0) at Suns (1-1) 9:00 pm - ThisIStheYear - 10-26-2024
Gafford and Washington killing the Mavs tonight. Not that any one else outside of Klay and Luka are doing much good so far.
RE: Game 2: Mavs (1-0) at Suns (1-1) 9:00 pm - Chicagojk - 10-26-2024
Mavs defense isnt good enough tonight. Although the suns are hitting their shots.
Not crazy about the offense either. A lot of 1 on 1.
No bench production either. Need someone from the bench besides Livlely to do something.
RE: Game 2: Mavs (1-0) at Suns (1-1) 9:00 pm - Mavs2021 - 10-26-2024
No BODY can stop Nurkic. Also seems teams are not convinced we actually have an offense or can shoot. Spurs and Suns have taken away the lob saying you can shoot now. Well let´s see it. If either Kyrie or Luka have the ball in their hands, we only see Klay + Kyrie/Luka.

Mavs are getting bullied. Naji and Grimes being nothing the Mavs need. They should already be looking to move off those guys as soon as they’re eligible to be traded. The Mavs don’t need dribbling. They don’t need play making. They need guys who can play shut down D and shoot.
RE: Game 2: Mavs (1-0) at Suns (1-1) 9:00 pm - Chicagojk - 10-26-2024
Mavs have work cut out for them in the fourth. Suns have been better. Suns more energetic, playing better team ball, getting easier looks, and more aggressive.
