Easy Suns win 117-103.

Without Doncic and Kyrie Irving it would be a close game, but if Doncic plays there is very little chance of winning.

Suns are not afraid of Luka. Booker will clap those cheeks all night long leading to a Suns victory. Only way Mavs win is if Exum explodes for 25+ points but I don’t see that happening. KD will definitely show up tonight and not throw the ball over 7 times. Maybe 5 max but nowhere near 7.

Why wouldn’t Doncic play? He played in the last game.

Via Marc Stein

Mavericks rookie center Dereck Lively II is expected to make his return from a left ankle sprain in tonight's Dallas-at-Phoenix Christmas Day finale, league sources say.

Good luck to you sir as well. I can’t watch this mess any longer. Team shows no passion on the court so why waste 2 1/2 hours watching the game when I can watch grass grow?

I hope we win. I suspect we won't. Doncic always goes out of his way to make us miserable and he's damned good at it.

Two WIDE open 3’s, two bricks.

This is a poor start. Several bricks from distance, bad passes, and misses at the cup.

Vogel's clock should be ticking loudly and especially if we lose tonight.

Lively is ... lively.

I just don't understand how EVERY Suns role player just lost their shooting touch all at once. Games would look a lot nicer if we actually hit wide open shots that they used to hit on every other team they've been on.

Our shooting from range has been ice cold. Several games worth now.

Here we go with the officials controlling the flow of the game rather than just calling it as the rules should dictate. Gordon already has two fouls.
