THJ 0-4 from 3 and fouling Booker 30 feet from the basket for no reason. Get him out of the game. Not a THJ night. Kidd needs to recognize this stuff.
I hate Booker. Such a punchable face.

Agree. Hardy with 0 mins that first half. **** drives me insane
When Exum gets back and all other wings are healthy there is no reason to play THJ anymore.
Luka is on his way to one of those nights. Great start to the 2nd half.
Please get THJ off the damn court. My lord
Luka getting no calls and suns getting ridiculous calls on jump shots
This zone defense looks weird
Gafford…what a great pickup
Gafford ballin and THJ starting to find his shot. Love the look of this team now.
not allowed to breathe on Booker
They better overturn this. And it better be our ball because Gafford palmed that.
Such trash
NBA is so damn soft. Impossible to play defense
Ok we ran the play for THJ after the TO and he missed the shot. Take him out now.
Another whiny tech for Luka. Figure it the **** out bro. It's literally the only bad trait he has
Luka's defense has improved significantly this season.
This team is really, really good right now. They were playing a game with two generational scorers on the other side and the game's outcome never felt in doubt the entire second half.

Tonight was critical with a tuff stretch looming. Gonna find out a lot about this team over the next 3 weeks.
Have a real chance to establish themselves or expose themselves over the next 10 games.

It's the biggest story the nba media isn't talking about. Partly because he's also having his best offensive season ever. It's something to watch.
Such a huge win (and streak) with the schedule coming up.
PJ's defense is a revelation. Guarded KD most of the night and KD shot 9-23. DJJ did good work there also.
We are legit. I'm going to be making some Luka mvp bets tmr. He's undervalued in the market, especially if we go on a little run the next 30 games.
Kyrie Irving yelled, “There you go!” Maxi Kleber gave a look of pleasant surprise. Tim Hardaway Jr. belted, “We got a fucking squad now.” And before Luka Doncic hit the locker room door, ex-NBA star Dirk Nowitzki hugged him & said, “Y’all look so different.”

Luka has seemed to figure out how to use his height and his size. He doesnt have to lock someone down, in fact he can even let them drive as long as he stays with them. Then he is in passing lanes if they decide to pass, and able to challenge the shot if they go that route.gigem1223 said:

That and he is getting good at being in passing lanes with his offball defense, you forget that he isnt some 6'2-6'3 PG sometimes.
He is like Dirk in that he just has to play to a level where he isnt a huge liability. No one is asking him to be Jordan on defense, when so much is asked of him on offense.
**** that guy.gigem1223 said:

Officiating sucked so ****ing bad in favor of the suns, but it didn't even matter. That stretch where luka got shoved at mid court ( no call) and he went in for a lay up with 3 guys jumping at him and tons of contact ( no call) then the suns player who went to the basket and ball was clearly off him, but suns kept the ball ( couldn't challenge).
It really was bad. Luka gets battered on the way to the rim with no calls and KD and Booker got weird calls on jump shots. Not overturning Gafford's block of Booker was ridiculous.
Glad it didn't matter, but it's really annoying in the middle of the game, especially against the Suns.

Good morning to everyone! Especially to our 6th seed Dallas Mavericks!

Then they dicked him with a technical. Ridiculous.

I thought the technical was earned. He chucked the ball at the referee with pretty significant force from not too far. He tried to apologize immediately but it had been a snowball effect and Luka was moments from a tech anyway.
But Luka's anger was not misplaced, the refs were not good.
My wife and I got a good kick out of the ref saying the contact was "too much to ignore" on the Grayson Allen foul review. Then he said it again. We had never heard that before and were very amused by that description.
Yeah, he probably deserved the tech. I just though it was ridiculous to miss those calls and then T him up just to make the whole sequence worse.

I agree it is ridiculous when refs do that. But they are never going to admit they were wrong, they are always going to dig in.
It should have been Kidd getting that tech instead of Luka, but Kidd has no control over the game, just ask him.
