So now onto a team with better versions of gobert and Mitchell. And clarkson. 

Going to be tough.  Let's see what we got

Looking at the box score, Finney-Smith played 46 minutes tonight, 40+ in every game including 47 in game 3. Get some rest!

He should make an all-defensive team.  I’ll settle for 3rd team.

Mavs are playing with house money now. Goal was to get to the second round. Now we’re here. Nothing to lose. 

Mavs could be very dangerous in that spot. 

Agreed, successful season secured. See if there’s a cherry on top

I have a feeling Game 1 is going to be a wake up call coming off this high. 
 

This schedule can get fucked:

 

What’s wrong with that schedule?

The NBA consistently screws over one of the largest TV markets and it keeps my old ass up way too late.

8:30 starts in Dallas suck.  especially since it's never at 8:30.  at least 15 minutes later.

And I just snagged Tix for Friday even though turning around Sat AM to  haul family to airport for Disney World (and kids first time in airport/plane).  That day is gonna be ROUGH.  But it's the playoffs and first time we've advanced in over a decade.  Told my wife I really didn't have a choice and would stick to light beer :)

Sec 222 for game 3. Lets fucking go!!!

Every time I tried to grab pairs they were gone.  Ended up getting 2 singles in lower level risers behind goal (DD and EE) with 1 seat a row behind and a seat over.  Big fan of those sections.  Fired up.

Suns are worrisome, and not just because they're the 1 seed.

 

Dallas showed it has very little size in this series, and Ayton/McGee have a chance to EAT.  They'll be hard pressed not to get in foul trouble and to keep them from just dominating the boards.  Plus CP0rings is a fucking menace in the clutch...hopefully we can wear his ass down more.

Who does CP guard in that scenario? Just stick him on Bullock? 
Our lineup / suns' defensive assignments

Brunson / bridges or crowder
Bullock / cp3
Luka / crowder or bridges
Dodo / booker
Dwight / ayton

I'm guessing Bridges or Crowder defend Luka. CP on Brunson.

I'm guessing Bridges on Brunson to completely shut him down with length and size...just take your chances are sending multiple looks at Luka with Crowder and others.

Mikal or jae on Luka, the other on brunson.

Here's where I'm at.

 

Putting Bridges on Luka definitely will cause issues.  But he won't shut Luka down completely.  Just like Luka probably won't have his way with him. It'll be a 50/50 thing.  Meanwhile Brunson is free to torch whoever is guarding him.

But if I was them, I'd have Bridges just hound Brunson and do whatever you can to slow Luka down otherwise.  I do NOT think Luka being the super high usage guy and scoring 40 a game will lead to multiple wins in this series.  Need to have another good Brunson series.  PHX should know that.

Gambo from Phoenix sports talk radio had some harsh things to say about Luka in 2018.  he has since backed off of it, saying he was given bad intel.  but still.  incredibly shitty take, even back then.

The only thing I can promise you is we are all about to really hate Chris Paul. 

In the "damn he's still pretty good" kind of way or in the Dwayne Wade 2006 kind of way? Last I heard Donaghy is out of jail but not allowed near a court.

Probably both.

Wait you didn't before?

Suns fan base = Arizona sun-baked trash.
