Brunson doing his best 07-10 Jason Terry in big games impression...

Dinwiddie on the other hand is going for game 6 in 2011 Terry.

[MaxiThreeba]

Defensive effort and chemistry traveled to PHX.  Gonna need 4 quarters of it. 

Spencer’s game even bigger with JB slow start.  JB worked over CP which is a great sign.

[cow]

SD with 13 pts, and 2 rbds in less than 7 mins.

Time to get him 28 minutes.  Don't forget that rip on the hash.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Phoenix looks stuck in the mud. Showing bad body language as well. Dallas is playing great defense.

[Kammrath]

DEFENSE.

This is everything for the Mavs tonight. 

In the 7 playoff wins they have allowed only 105.0 pts/100 possessions. In the 5 losses they have allowed 120.7 pts/100 possessions. 

If the Mavs bring the defensive energy, hustle, effort, and fight tonight then they can win. If they do not then it will be over. 


The problem? They have brought the D they have needed only once on the road in the playoffs. In Utah in game 6, they held UTA to 104.6 pts/100 possessions. 

The hope? They did it in a closeout game on the road in UTA and got the win.

So far so good!!

[dirkfansince1998]

Wasting opportunities. Catch and shoot game is completly off.

[cow]

Come on Reggie

SPENCER

Get that rest for Luka.

[dirkfansince1998]

Bullock starting to mess up on defense as well. Bad pick and roll defense. Leading to a Luka foul.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Putting Ayton in P&R's is genius.

[VintagePejav2]

We can’t finish this without Reggie/DFS/Jalen. Need to wake up.

[cow]

Stop wasting that much clock to  initiate.  Go a tick or three sooner.

Active hands tonight.

[Kammrath]

The switching, doubling, rotating, active hands, and communicating on D so far as a TEAM whole is FANTASTIC. Some mistakes of course here and there, but SO good overall.

[cow]

Pretty damn good showing from Powell.

[VintagePejav2]

You know the Suns are going make a big run in the 2nd half. Have to build a big enough cushion to weather it.

You know the Suns are going make a big run in the 2nd half. Have to build a big enough cushion to weather it.

Need to bring enough DEFENSIVE INTENSITY to weather it.

[cow]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Luka hitting free throws is a really good sign.

[dirkfansince1998]

Kidd looking like he wants to jump on the floor. Love the energy.

[Kammrath]
