Need to come out for this game and the road trip in general with the same intensity displayed against the Pelicans.

I'd post up Nurk early in the game to draw some fouls on Lively. Without their rookie C Mavs are really bad inside.

I have never wanted anything more than a win tomorrow. I feel KD will want to punish the Mavs after he was limited to 16 on christmas

If Luka cant play, we might have a chance.

If Luka is so frustrated at our team for not drafting him why not just demand a trade back to Phoenix? It’s only inevitable until he ends up in the valley of the sun.

What is this losers mentality ? Pretty sure win record against Doncic is on our side. Luka will beat us if Booker and KD allow it again. As a start make him work on D. Watched some of Mavs Celtics game and Brown was targeting him with a lot of success. No excuses for KD, Book and Beal if they can't do the same.

Luka Doncic is 6-11 versus the Suns in his career. He just started winning more games during his last 2-3 seasons over his first 3 years on the mavs. But overall, the Suns still spank the Mavs and hoping we beat them today. Especially if one of Kyrie or Luka sits out.

I would expect both Luka and Kyrie to play tonight versus the Suns.

Regular season we normally spank them it's just the playoffs which are a different story.

Really like that Nurk immediately approached Williams (who was stepping over KD) and pushed him out of the way.

Outside of the 50 point game against NO, Book has looked mid for nearly the entire month of January.Hopefully my post can reverse jinx him.
