The Mavs just hangs out at the 3 point line .
It's the matchup as well... suns dominated the boards against the mavs which they couldn't do against us. They are somewhat even with fouls and only a slight edge to the mavs in ft attempts, which we also dominated them at.
If it was mavs vs pels i think the mavs would look better because we don't matchup well with them
Damn this Suns team is really good. Don’t feel as bad watching CP and them cook someone else

Imagine where we'd be now if Willie figured out earlier in the series that CP3 needed to be trapped or if he trusted Murphy enough to play the rook over Jaxson or if Graham's minutes were split between Alvarado and Murphy or if Griff let Zion play just 10 minutes against whatever bench players the Suns had out there
What's those sayings about 'hindsight'???
If 'if' was skiff, we'd all be on a boat ride.
or
Hindsight is always 20:20.

It is easy to be wise after the event.
or
It's always so easy to say what everyone should have done when you know that what they actually did didn't work.

While learning from the past has benefit; projecting that acquired knowledge backwards proves nothing about an unalterable past (i.e. Ja over Zion??).
Imagine if CP3 got treated as if he played for Golden State and got Flagrant 2 fouls for the obvious groin kick on Jose and for smashing Herb's head, or even Flagrant 1 treatment for both of his game 6 4Q "incidental" hits to Jose's face. Imagine if the Pelicans got a fair shake from the refs, or God forbid a home court advantage. Sorry, can't let it go.....
Yes.
Pelicans had just come off a grueling do-or-die stretch and triumphed. Then only had 1 day "rest", which was a travel day before game 1 in Phoenix. That game was a gift for the Suns.
Mavs had half the week to get ready. And that game was no where near as close as the final score indicated.

I’m so sick of players sprawling on the ground like they’ve been shot to get the refs to review something for a flagrant.
Man this thread really aged well
Man having a superstar sure is amazing! I really thought suns was going to take this series...Luka is so special! Suns could've had him as well
