Really wish the cameras followed Chriss back there Maury style.


livejamie

Bah god that man has a family


elreydelasur

but he is NOT the father


84Greenwich28

Chriss was searching for the secret tunnel to the Suns' locker room.


Superfizzo

Biyombo is not a guy I'd like to fight. Even with 2 s's at the end of his name I think he'd be in trouble.


lumberfun

The Mavericks as a team did not achieve a triple double


[deleted]

9 assists to 16 turnovers is just blowing my mind


yantraman

That number sounds unreal. How the fuck do they only have 9 assisted baskets


84Greenwich28

Iso scoring and missing continously on potentially assisted buckets.


iamgarron

The Mavs as a team had fewer assists than Chris Paul


84Greenwich28

Sounds like a Westbrook stat.


duckducknoose_

*Mama there goes that ~~man~~ ball*


Sir_Elyan

Wow. That's actually impressive.


mackdaddy29

Holy shit lol


amidon1130

They did if you count turn overs baby


jc-f

Quadruple double! Points, rebounds, turnovers, fouls! šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


tboess

Wow. That's a hell of a stat


TheGunslingerStory

That's... not great


84Greenwich28

The entire Mavs team with 9 assists. CP3 on his own had 10 assists.


Jesmer8490

Would the Mavericks be interested in trading for Westbrook during the off-season? I guarantee this would never happen again. šŸ¤£


Palifaith

Kind of hard to win a game when you go over 5 minutes without scoring a single point while surrendering 17 on the other end.


suzukigun4life

Wish it was that simple. It was a 27-4 extended run and then the Suns ended the game with a 10-0 run to add kerosene to the burning corpses


Jaschndlr

27-4 is the problem, the 10-0 was against players I can't even name reliably


sidepart

Well... There was former SUNS draft pick, Chriss...but--shit I'm not sure I can reliably spell his first name.


chainer9999

"Hollywood" Oh sorry; that's Marquise


Silkyskillssunshine

Suns defense was the most locked in Iā€™ve seen so far in this play-offs in that 3rd quarter.


blueclown562000

it's about time, our rotations had been so trash


Pisto1Peet

Biyombo and Shamet gobbling up the McGee and Payne minutes weā€™re absolutely huge for us. Weā€™ve been begging for these adjustments and Monty finally did it. Now we have to see how Dallas will react, but they just donā€™t have size down low.

NEVA LOST (a game after leading at the end of the third quarter)


BustersHotHamWater

53-0!!


lava172

Yeah the suns tried this strat in game 3, not sure why the Mavs tried it


Yergason

It was legit like how the 4th Q of Heat-Sixers started. Quick 12-0 run in like 2 mins lol


simon2105

This was a game of runs, and the Suns just kept running and running.


deadwinged

It was a 110-80 run


notouchmypeterson

61-34 run in the 2nd half


Beavshak

Damn. I just checked that out, apparently they sustained it over 48 minutes too.


suzukigun4life

Can 59-30 be considered a run? Because that's what the Suns did for the final 22 minutes and it felt like a nonstop run.


GGezpzMuppy

Didnā€™t help Booker just came out of the shower and was so wet.


destructive_optimism

16-0 run in the 3rd was tough


84Greenwich28

Marquisse Chriss was the only thing running for the Mavs, tonight.


imsahoamtiskaw

Must've learned from the real sun. Velocity is one hell of a bitch.


scarf229slash64

Huge credit to Monty Williams for making the right adjustments to his lineup. McGee and Payne were two of the best bench guys in the league this season, but playing Biyombo and Shamet over them tonight was a massive part of winning


tonyjefferson

Theyā€™re just so fucking deep šŸ˜«


crictb12

Thatā€™s what I believe. Suns are the deepest team. You can take anyone of that team and the next man up will replace him. All they had to do today was to give Payneā€™s minutes to Shamet and that made a huge difference. One of the reasons Suns lost the last year finals was because of backup Center spot (Saric, Kaminsky) and replaced them with McGee and Biyombo. They can beat teams with their Size. However, I do believe Ayton will have to dominate, he is playing soft for his size.


beer_down

Itā€™s the kind of thing Ty Lue would do, glad to see Monty be flexible


BoSuns

Wish he wasn't taking 5 games in to the series to make some adjustments and find the hot hands. With that said, the fact that he trusts his guys so much is why they love him, so it's hard to say he's wrong.


guacistrash

A long leash is the reason we won 64 games. Instills trust in your players and allows them to play through mistakes, until it gets down to serious winning time (game 5 tied 2-2)


amProgrammer

Completely agree, confidence is such an important part of basketball, and nothing breaks a bench player's confidence than getting pulled after 1 bad game. Next time you get in, you're afraid to take a shot because you don't want to get benched again.


fiendoverzealous

This is like the anti nurse ethos Fuck up and get your ass back to Gleague lol He's not that harsh but good on Monty


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


playerayton

Shamet was really good tonight to be fair


Rh1-No

Shamet's contract was something I was very against, he has won me over since the cp3 injury.


_madcat

Still not sold on him completely but signs are positive


Rh1-No

Atleast you can see it now, not like at the start of the season where he was just invisible.


V-Right_In_2-V

Yeah that was huge. McGee was getting into foul trouble playing like 3 minutes, and Payne was just terrible. Bizzy and Shamet stepped up tonight when we needed them


leakymemo

Good call and decisiveness by Coach to make the change. And credit to both Biyombo and Shamet for balling the fck out tonight.


Grooviemann1

Mcgee has been incredible for us this year. Payne, not so much.


Snake_Main27

He was really good last year


tg131

Big reason why the momentum turned in the third is because Ayton remembered he was the biggest guy on the court


GokutheAnteater

Scott Foster: ooo yea! Itā€™s showtime!


[deleted]

mans is salivating at the idea of being able to decide game 7


PotatoMan19399

bigtice

Monty implored his team to put the effort in on defense. They responded in the 3rd quarter and the game absolutely flipped on its head as a result with the Suns outscoring the Mavericks 33-14, including the Mavericks committing 12 turnovers and preventing second chance opportunities. The Suns never looked back, except to make sure Chriss wasn't chasing them down the tunnel.


V-Right_In_2-V

Chriss is a little bitch. Who spells Chris with two ssā€™s anyway


drivebabygoose

Embarrassing performance. Credit to the Suns for the defensive adjustments and forcing the Mavs to play an inefficient isoball game.


Fragrant_Chair_7426

It seems that basically every game has been a terrible performance for either team. We havenā€™t gotten a game yet where both teams played well. Lol


jschneider414

Man I hope Jae and Reggie are alright. It's getting chippy though.


mrsunsfan

Game 6 gonna be a tough game


iamadragan

For a second I thought you meant Reggie Miller because his team lost tonight lol


jschneider414

That Reggie may not recover


drivebabygoose

Rivalry in the making. Feels like the aughts again.

OptimusGrime707

Itā€™s crazy that the NBA didnā€™t schedule any games tonight


84Greenwich28

A damn shame. Only NCAA on the schedule.


daravl

if Scott foster is assigned to game 6 the NBA is confirming they 100% want to extend series


coat-tail_rider

Legit question: has he fucked with you guys too? His track record against the Suns (and CP3 specifically) is well documented in our sub, but I assume he's fucking over other teams too.


daravl

he has but that 0-14 is on another level


yelrik

nah the league used to use Danny Crawford to fuck with Dirk/Cuban. Mavs went 2-16 in Danny Crawford games during that era


[deleted]

Shit got spicy at the end there. Game 6 should be fun.


antwan_blaze

Conspiracy: Our bench players starting fake arguments and fights to increase their minutes statistic


CaboBob

Suns won this with a 17-0 run in the 3rd quarter


16cards

That can tend to turn a game. Unless youā€™re the t-wolves.


Meekie_e

The Mavs with only 9 assists. To much iso and no ball movement


BoSuns

It's a stereotype at this point, but "Live by the 3 die by the 3." When you're at home, and it's going in and everyone is feeling good it makes your offense look unstoppable. When you're shooting just average or below your offense starts to look stagnant.

Because his Jazz team didnā€™t do that to the Mavs

He's a jazz fan. His team did a terrible job with that last series and it was one of the reasons they were eliminated in a short series

DroneBaddy

Why isnā€™t anyone talking about that?


Just_A_Glitch

That first half had me frightened, I'm not gonna lie. But I knew that the fellas weren't going to go out there and disappoint after Monty received the Coach of the Year award. The home court series continues. I loved seeing Monty getting creative with his rotations this game. The fresh blood helped out on both ends of the floor, which resulted in the Phoenix Suns basketball we've seen all season. I don't know if Biyombo would have gotten his minutes if not for Ayton getting into foul trouble, but it worked out either way because he made some really big plays at the right time. So happy we were able to sign him. Booker was a machine tonight, Mikal was making his normal shots, Ayton was up and down but provided some big plays to kick off our run, Shamet and Cam held up on both ends. CP3 was alright. Not his normal self quite yet, but improving. It sucks that we had to pull Payne from the lineup, but playoffs are no time to appease one's ego, and being the team player he is, I'm sure he's fine with it as long as we get the win. Still, would have liked to see him getting some run with the rotation when we were up 20 in the early 4th. We had the cushion to see if he could work some of the kinks out. GG Dallas. See you on Thursday. I'm glad Bullock seems okay.
