Wont matter when the playoffs come around. I will take Luka and Kyrie every single day of the week.
Too bad guys. Suns won!
Suns not needing Booker to go for 30-40 points to win just proves how different this squad is compared to last year
No way, luka is books dad. Dallas made finals last szn whereas suns got swept
Yeah nah I do not see the Suns beating a playoff Luka and the Mavs team still
The only problem last night was when Kd was off the floor. Every time mavs have made a push. It was when Kd was taking his breaks when Kd on the floor with the rest of these guys they are capable of beating anyone killers !!!! let Kd have his third ring and an MVP
GIVE KD THE MVP!
That title is savage af when u got refs help😅😅
Suns are a top 5 team at worse
Yes Luka is overrated he is a good scorer and that it!!!!!!!!
And see where they are at at the end of the season 😮
GO SUNS!!!!!!
Both bigs in foul trouble. Missing two starters. KT poor performance. Team still getting new pieces integrated… Mavs will be fine.
Ask the same question in march…Mavs are better for the long run
Bob Myers….the reason KD left Golden State
Suns in 4
Perk has the worst takes in this show I always fast forward when he talk
I will say this, PHX is looking tough and it seems KD isn’t missing anything. However, in the scheme of things 7/8 month season, I don’t like the team to hold up physically or psychologically.
Russ be locking up kd in their matchups
Nurkic gonna cost them, the guy is soft and plays careless, need to explore a Steven Adams trade or someone like that
Durant was launching a lot of bricks with the game on the line. but was bailed out by a giant.
They always has been better then the Mavs
Mavs are dealing with the integration of skills issue Phoenix has spent the last couple years working on.
Don’t be fooled. Unless the Suns are deliberately making these games close, they have a big problem. They sleepwalk one, two, even three quarters per game. Their shooting disappears, they go flat. Playoff teams will make them pay. Unless they fix this inconsistency, NO RING this year.
It scares me when Perk starts liking my Suns, he’s always wrong.
The mavs did not play full squad
kd probably forgot celtics players locked him up
Injured player should be required to wear a tampon for badge of courage to work ethic
You don't have to wait until perk or whomever say because we can see it for our self
8-1. These clutch games early on, will pay off in the playoffs.
these guys are forgetting that Booker and Beal were injured on and off for months last year starting the year. Durant had to carry the whole team on his back and it was too much for 1 guy. there was no continuity, and they had bad coaching. this year they're winning close games, KD is still clutch, but their ceiling is high.
OMG….can't listen to Big Pork's comments anymore…now it's just a trashy show…I'm banning myself from watching this show until he's gone. Minutes 1 viewer…

Perkins is full of race hate and jealousy. He sees the Mavs as a white team because Luka is the leader, so his antiwhiteism kicks in.
The fact they always n clutch situations
No, Dallas better. Took kd drilling 3 after 3 to stay in it. And a bad ref call. Luka still best player on floor and he’s not in form yet
And now stick legs out two weeks😂
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
For the next 2 weeks they won’t be
Don't discount the Mavs too much. In both losses to Phoenix they were missing Derek Lively due to injury. I think with a full roster Dallas is as good or better than last year's team that went to the finals. No need for panic in Dallas right now.
I hope this narrative that the mavs don’t play defense stops. After the trade deadline last year they were a top 10 defense and for their last 16 games were number one before kyrie and luka rested their last two games, they were also a top 5 defense in the postseason and Boston by far had their worst offensive series against them with a 112 offensive rating which is a bottom 5 offense, thats equivalent to the wizards last year. This year they have the 7th best defense so far as well.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Suns have played the Mavs twice already and won both games. Enough said😂
Tell them again about the power on screens & picks Windy 💯
As a KD fan SAS STAY OFF THE WEEEEEEEED

The won by a ref. Had that call not happened and the Mavs won. This wouldn’t be a convo.
