Even when it was only a 10-15 point deficit, no one on the Suns seem to have any urgency including Monty Williams. Not a good look. Now DAL has it at a 40-point lead lol

Total frontrunners. Stand up to the bully and they fold.

Ayton has been awful. He should be locking down the paint but is a turnstile and is generally uncompetitive. Booker looks spooked. Just unreal, what a meltdown

Once bitten, twice shy.  Their spirit has been broken.

Just think about how many NBA "Stars" have been exposed this season.
Lebron (not the GOAT), Kyrie, Durant, Harden, CP3.
(Giannis got beat but respectfully.)
Who's next?

I don't put Giannis or even Lebron there. But yeah, KD, Cryrie, Booker, Harden, CP3, etc.

I think it's a very bad look for KD that he left Golden State and Golden State looks like it'll make the Finals without him while his loaded Nets teams still never made it to an ECF. He may have two rings but that was off him joining a 73-win team which will always be held against him.

The Mavs could probably just commit 24-second violations the rest of the way and still win by at least 10 lol

The game is so bad that when you go to ESPN now, the lead score they show is the hockey game that started less than 2 minutes ago.

Luka is done for the night right?  Can't risk injury at this point.

Brunson is legit just scoring every single possession now. 22 points in the game, 20 of them in the 2nd half lol

CP3 starting to lift once the game is well and truly over is hilarious.

So finally CP3 and the Suns are hitting shots, and the Mavs are countering every one of them particularly Brunson who is now torching them. This was such a dud for a Game 7 haha

Imagine if Brown, Tatum and whoever you think our 3rd best player is (Timelord/Smart/Horford) had a combined 6 points near halftime. That's basically what's happening to the Suns now. YIKES
This place would have actually exploded
People complain in the game threads when Jaylen has 10 points, 5 rebounds at halftime. Can't comprehend the negativity that would come forth if The Jays and Smart had only 6 points total between them.

Imagine if our Celtics got blown away by 43 at home in a game 7?  We would all literally implode from agony.

The PA guy going on about how the Suns crowd had sold out in this game, when a good portion of the people there have already gone home. Hilariously bad timing

Glad it was this home team that's getting dismantled and not us this afternoon.

Vindicated for not getting Chris Paul?

People were pining hard for him.

Say what you will about this Celtics management - their scouting and talent evaluation is top notch.

You see the difference between the mentality of the Suns and the Celtics. The Celtics after losing Game 5 could've been like the Suns today but instead buckled down and beat the defending champions back to back. The Suns took a hit from the Mavs and they shrunk when the series is on the line. Just because you have the talent, doesn't mean you will win. You need the mentality, the will to win. The Suns just didn't have that will tonight.

Dallas doesn’t have the horses. I’m
Honestly not getting what people are seeing with them. Nah e they will explode and make me eat this post but they just don’t seem to have the talent.

There’s only one individual that has been hyping Dallas on the is site and they’ve been very quiet tonight for some reason… hmmm
They just don't have the talent. A cold night from Brunson and they're buried
Maybe they make a comeback here tonight. But in general I just don’t see what they can do to be honest. The suns have 5 of the 7 best players and their third string center is probably as good as most of Dallas frontcourt. Doncic could have like 50 and it would still be tough.

is it Javale McGee?

I remember they owned the Celtics earlier, before the Celtics got their act together. Think a lot of their team were injured that game too.

The Suns are just really good, kind of like the C's in how they randomly pulled together all the right pieces.

It took the Suns 6 games to get past the 8th seed Pelicans. I know Booker missed some Games, but they still should have handled New Orleans better than they did. This Suns team reminds me of that Hawks team with Teague, Horford, Johnson, Smith, Korver. Some very good players, but lacked the top end talent that you Need to win it all.

 :-X This is probably the worst game 7 performance I’ve ever seen from a team and the Suns are playing at home! Just pathetic. I’ve always thought the Suns were overrated, but [dang].

Moranis, if the Mavs make it to the finals and face the C’s, I will give you a 1000 TP’s
