NBA Playoffs

The Jazz made the Mavs look a lot better than they really are.

Was there a worse showing than us in the playoffs? Brooklyn? Chicago maybe? We looked like the worst team in the playoffs tbh. No excitement, no hustle, no toughness. Just going through the motions… something we had mostly just done for the latter half of the season.

Coach? Chemistry? I dunno. But our team looked about as excited to be in the playoffs as we would getting a root canal

It’s been frustrating to watch Booker play defense and the Suns continually switch and help out their teammates. Stuff we did last year in the regular season that we just decided we’d abandon.

It’s amazing that we even made it a series considering how much ineptitude we have as a team.
 
Watching this game just makes me want to blow it up more and stop going after small guards. We need big players who can play defense.

So true
 
Predicted the Suns would sweep the Mavs watching the Jazz series. That was two very flawed teams, and the Mavs were lucky to get the Jazz in the first round; that was the only team they could beat. Enjoying the Suns making a fool of them. Just loving the crushed look on Luka and Cuban’s face.
 
I bet Jason Kidd wishes he had Rudy on his team now after the Suns are getting any shot they want in the paint.

Donovan isn’t tall, but his wingspan at 6’10” should let him play defense like someone that’s 4-5 inches taller. He just chooses not to because he’s lazy and would rather just score points on fast breaks.

But overall, we are too small everywhere especially in the backcourt. No way to fix it unless you simply jettison some guys.

Who couldn’t beat us? Maybe chicago? Brooklyn, who sucked, wouldve killed us. Maybe minny? Atlanta? Trey young is a lot better than Brunson… were we the worst team in the playoffs this year?

By far one of the biggest things that has stood out to be this playoff has been our lack of size and athleticism. Aside from our 5s, we are severely undersized and slow. Cam Johnson is decent and he’d be by far our best wing.

That’s true but he needs to be the smallest player on the court for us to be successful. Pairing him next to 6’0 Conley and 6’4 Royce ain’t it.

No doubt. It’s just going to be hard for Ainge to move those contracts.

Eh, we might have been able to pull out a win against Atlanta or New Orleans. Wouldn't have been a lock though.

Me too. Serious question, when was the last time we took advantage of a matchup? Because it seemed to me like we ran the same game plan no matter who the opponent was. I don’t ever recall is seeing a matchup and continuously exploiting it.

Why didn’t we go after Kleber? Bertrans? Luka? All of them are orange cones on defense. I guess it would’ve required actually trying to execute the offense instead of chucking up some lazy 3.

Because Quin is a clown
 
It's unsurprising how the Suns are easily out playing the Mavs. I see them winning in game 5. Imagine the Fraudzz playing the Suns? It probably would've been a sweep for the Suns.
