@Kryptonitee24 dammmmmmmmmmmmmm f u

Should watch Bens video about it, goes thru exactly how Mavs changed tactic after game 2 to neutralize them. Also, the field goal attempts. Last game Mavs met GSW Curry was unable to get off a single shot in the 4th quarter. It might be something there... Edit: Link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9GFaZByssm5ZoE.html

I hardly disagree with you. I been watching the Suns all season. I been watching the Mavs. There team changed. They have 4 three point shirts on there team 2 to 3 are always out on the court, 3 shooter/slasher. The sun's reply on Paul way too much. They win games in season by switching line ups mix matching players. On paper Suns are better than the bucks. But they lost because Greek freak is better. Also the Suns have 2 shot creator, and there offense is not suited to beat the Mavs. From what I see everyone under estimates the Mavs. Golden State is old and gimpy. Wiggins and Poole will have to go most the lifting. Because I think the are going to attack curry. Plus Gary Payton Jr is out. Who's guarding Bronson and dinwitty?

Dont speak on shit u dont know about. And never, and i mean never doubt the fuckin mavs

@@gutzo I mean the Mavs won that year with one star and some roleplayers. Did they forget that? And everyone was shook when they swept the Lakers. I hope they sweep golden State and watch all these idiots band wagon.

He might make it three if he takes down Golden State.

I’m a jazz fan, and I’m wearing a Luka jersey. Help.

@@RansomBallard I think GS might be the exception. Assuming they lose to Luka, it's hard to imagine the big 3 in GS splitting apart. Makes WAY more sense with the Jazz and Suns though.

@@RansomBallard I would like to see that I don’t hate golden state but it would be interesting to see what direction they go when they blow it up at some inevitable point

@@rabd3721 No more like mentally break them.

Thinking Basketball just posted a nice analysis exactly on that line.

Jason knows what it takes to win a championship with the Mavs

This may sound racist but most teams should aim for a black coach instead of white one 90% of the NBA are black players and they need a guy they can trust and relate to and have chemistry with a black coach with black players is a recipe for succes with white coaches is usually 50/50

@@Dragonds53 Hell if they really wanted to, a single possession could have taken half a quarter. Although I'm not sure any possession lasted that long even back then.

That’s because the Warriors won in 6

@O yeah that’s definitely fair. I’m just saying in a one game scenario Phoenix somehow managed to have an even worse singular game output than we did in Game 5

@O That GSW game was equally pathetic, but I do have a lot more hope and trust in the Warriors to have an overwhelmingly higher amount of integrity and level of urgency (based on playoff pedigree) to not let a game get THAT out of hand in a Must Win / Do or Die Game 7. I legit never thought of Phoenix this way, despite my strong dislike for their antics, but prior to Game 6 I didn't think they were frontrunners. Now they're officially joining that category with the Utah Jazz until they can prove otherwise, that when shit gets real tough on the biggest stage they don't roll over and die multiple games in a row, in the playoffs. Luka and Dinwiddie came out on fucking fire, uppercutted them with a sledgehammer to start Game 7, and they just folded like a lawn chair, let themselves get tied to an anvil before being dumped into the ocean. Like that's beyond fucking unacceptable even from someone who had Mavs taking it in 7. No way in hell did I think Luka would have just as many points at the half as the entire Sun's team.

Tbf a ja less Memphis is a different beast. Both defensively and offensively.

@O 'We'? You were at home on your couch. Listen, I love the Knicks, like you love Golden State, but the 'we' shit is cringe. You're a fan. A cheerleader. It's weird to celebrate other people's success like its your own, lmao. I know a lot of sports fans are gonna' never accept this.

Both have pretty much the same path since january 1. Bad teams with new coaches turned into top 5 league defenses the Mavs had the second best record after jan 1 and the Celtics had the third best record. Now theyre winning by doing the best they can defensivellt

Completely agree

Don’t count out my heat just yet

At this point of the season, everyone is beat up. We can't even use his age as an excuse because he's always been a bit fragile. Also, if he did manage to win then we would all heap on the praise so he definitely deserves the same degree of criticism when it all falls apart.

Ok pat bev

That’s because CP3 wasn’t injured. They are just making excuses for getting there asses kicked 😂

Like when LeBron wore his wife's scarf wrapped around his hand after getting swept? I think C3P0 is a great regular season point. He'll instantly improve your regular season record. He just won't win it all.

Point God, The Last Ball Handler

Mmmm it was kinda satisfying, just because of the part where it's another year where CP3 very realistically could have won his ring but didn't

As a professional Chris Paul hater it was pretty fun game

@@SuperNuclearUnicorn Man it wouldn't even matter ring or no if CP3 just showed up and played. I don't see how him getting a ring next year or whatever magically fixes that. This is not the first time he's basically just given up during a series. When it comes to rings though it makes no sense. If a guy plays well he plays well, it is helping his team to win. And if he does things like sacrifice his game for teammates, or do other things to help them, yeah that also helps his team to win. But just looking at the win loss column to judge a player is dumb. He is only reasonably accountable for what he himself does, in terms of legacy. And "chips chips chips" isn't any real way to look at winning. If we really went to the logical conclusions if insane fans pretty much thinking the only team/players that deserve credit for their accomplishment are the team with the chip, then that means basically you have to say there was only one good team in the league that year. Which looks even stranger when you consider "okay if that team is good then how are they good, all the teams they beat were bad teams who lost a playoff series". CP3 has had tons of playoff success and won a lot. A ring doesn't enhance his legacy objectively, it's just eye candy for fans. What tarnishes his legacy and won't go away even with a ring, is him doing shit most years like not even shooting the ball more than seven times in crucial games.

@@mob8502 the 🥩🚴 is outstanding

@@mob8502 honestly, I’ve always been one of those people that said Paul deserved a ring. But two years of blown 2-0 leads, he’s had his chance. It’s his fault that he isn’t getting a ring at this point

@@TheDreRock he definitely didn't expect u to respond 💀

I think that goes both ways tho, see a team like the nets this year. People kept thinking they were contenders even though their regular season performance indicated otherwise. Skip forward to the playoffs and they were swept. The bulls are also a good example. They were terrible against good teams in the regular season and got easily bounced in the playoffs. Regular season performance is definitely not everything but I think people have been devaluing it a bit too much lately

No team lower than the 4 seed has won the NBA title since the 94-95 rockets. Stick that in your ""regular season is less significant"

Exactly why, as a Pistons fan who doesn't know enough about basketball to identify talent, I'm waiting for a playoff appearance before I crown Cade Cunningham. He looks like he's gonna be really good. You just never know until they're involved in real basketball

@@mgoblue9389 I don't know Cade at all and never watched a Pistons game this year but looking at his advanced stats.. He is quite mediocre. Granted he is only 20 and he has time to improve, its hard to be excited for Cade to be the "next big thing" when he put up some mediocre stats this year.

I don't think it's about how much the regular season is worth but more about how a team elevates and adjusts in the playoffs

What’s crazy is the Mavs were missing a lot of open shots in the first half. They just kept getting so many open looks that eventually they heated back up

@@mikerivera373 exactly 1st half was the Luka and Spencer show those two putting up i think 47 by half time. top 5 defensive team can't stop two guys from torching them.

@@jakeghelfi bruh we hadn't made the playoffs in 11 years let alone the finals(in 28 years). We overachieved

I gotta go with this year....with expectations, having what was supposed to be the way better team, just quitting all together in game 7

Yea. Anything can happen in a game 7. It would’ve been fine if the suns went down fighting. The bucks couldn’t get a shot to go down, but still fought to the very end. The suns looked like they just didn’t care at all

They certainly looked like their families were being held hostage by the Dallas mafia or something and were forced to throw the game. They looked defeated the second they were on a 20 point deficit, never to recover. I'm ok with teams having a bad day, but at least try your best, show some sense of urgency and pride, go out swinging. This was just embarrassing.

You don't even have enough of a sample size to take this seriously.

They certainly looked the part

When CP3 came to the Suns, i immediately stopped liking them because I knew he would ruin the franchise. They had the perfect team set up full of young talent. People forget they got shafted out of the playoffs 2 years ago because of the pandemic when they were the only team that went undefeated in the play in games. Last year casual fans gave CP3 all the credit for their run, when it was always Booker, Ayton, and Bridges being the heart and soul of that team.

CP failed to disclose that he has a dangerous and contagious locker room disease that causes major shrinkage at inopportune times that not even the hot Phoenix weather can mitigate, and unfortunately it appears it has spread to other teammates. That signing is gonna be even more costly going forward as the Suns try to rehab the damage caused to the afflicted players over the next several years. Amputation may be required.

There’s not gonna be a next year for cp he’s had more than enough times in his entire career it’s time we had enough

Yeah he looked washed and/or hurt.

@@redguardpuremage9641 really tho. Gon ask that boy who gon win the next three super bowls 😂

Hope not. We need more 3 point shooting, not less.

You don't want ayton. He's a drama queen that will only give you a good game once every 5 games. I really hope the Sun's trade him and get something decent. Then again none of the other suns aka cp3 or booker showed up when they were needed

Yeah, Raptors aren’t trading for Ayton.

They won’t even sniff the finals next year. If they folded now, then they aren’t going to adjust next year. Plus now every team knows they will fold.

I could be really wrong about this too, so feel free to come back in a year's time and shit on me. But I think the window is closed for the Suns. They had 2 really good chances, last year and this year. To me, they're officially frontrunners and they have shown that they can't handle the pressure when things just don't go their way, especially the 2 stars. Mentally they're nowhere near tough enough to endure the ruggedness of the playoffs. CP3's not getting any bit younger, and let's not get it twisted thinking that every player is Lebron James who can still play like they're in their prime for even half the game(s). This Phoenix team folds when they don't have an all-time elite playmaker to facilitate. All this that I just wrote is on the Sun's end and should be somewhat within their control, besides CP3's age and playability. But the other half of it is just gonna be quite short and simple. Assuming everyone is coming back reasonably healthy, the Clippers are about to be full strength with Kawhi entering the mix. Same with Jamal Murray and possibly even MPJ for the Nuggets. I didn't have a dog in any of the races this year because of how absolutely stacked both East and Western Conferences were with so many damn teams potentially having a crack at a title run, so I don't know what the Suns really saw in thinking they were a lock. I highly doubt next year is gonna get any easier or better. I believe it's gonna be a real toss up. The Suns have to figure out and look far ahead to how the team will function without an all-time great PG in CP3.

Y’all said the same thing last year, when will you learn?

Kinda wanna see the clippers healthy, if they can get Norman Powell and Reggie Jackson + their bigs in a good flow next season they might be dangerous
