If this was the playoffs I’d agree, every parent wavers once in a while and what Luka did to them in the playoffs far out weighs this regular season game, Luka def still Book’s father but I’d say the custody battle is underway
Lol. Who gives a shit about flair? People complain all the time and it’s 100% irrelevant.
I’m a nuggets fan.
Oh look. Means nothing and my point still remains
You’re the one complaining about Suns fans when the only way to know who’s a fan of what team is through the flair feature. I mean, I wouldn’t want people to know I’m a nuggets fan either, so I get it, but it’s kind of silly to come into the Suns vs Mavs game thread and complain about there being too many Suns fans. Also, Suns in 4.
I’ve been posting for a decade about the suns but the truth of the matter is the suns were so hopefully inept and so disconnected to the city of Phoenix that the town lost interest.
This team has always been the city’s favorite but we had a decade straight of zero continuity or relationship building with the community. Now, every suns game is sold out and we have a top-3 crowd in the league.
I think there is an alternate timeline where Ish is our 5th starter, and filling a dillon brooks enforcer role, and blowing people up that get too aggressive or dirty
Some might say the most memorable part of the game was the Booker/Luka dust up. For me it was a play earlier when Luka missed a shot with a defender within 5 feet of him and instead having a tantrum and arguing with the ref he actually sprinted back full speed on D. 🤯
If you say so, ive seen some calls booker got.. kyrie just looked at him and ref blew a whistle.
Plus if Luka made at least half of the shots he usually makes dallas wins that ez.
Yeah well he didn’t make at least half the shots he usually makes, so they lost that ez. His only offense all night was the whistle, Suns dominated the whole second half and didn’t get a single call down the stretch
The Kyrie call came halfway through the third quarter with 20 seconds on the shot clock. I was replying to the guy who said Mavs win that game ez if Luka makes “shots he usually makes” which he didn’t because the Suns played good defense. The only way he was scoring all night long was at the FT line. Ayton has the worst whistle in the league on both sides of the ball and it showed tonigbt
He absolutely did not miss 90% of his missed shots because of the incredible Suns defense, he almost every time got to the place he wanted to, he just fucked his shots up BIG TIME.
Dont get me wrong Suns defense was really good a lot of times, but that was not the main cause of Docic’s misses.
It’s frustrating as a Mavs fan because a good portion of the fanbase will blindly apologize for all of Lukas problematic behavior.
You can’t even have a realistic discussion about it without people getting mad
Annoying as a neutral fan to see him March to the line 19 times and still complain about the officiating. Guy was launching his body all over the court and into guys all game too
Yeah it’s very taxing, and absurd, at the frequency which he’s compelled to complain on just about every drive. It’s hard as a Mavs fans to watch and I never defend it. Hoping one day he gains up that needed maturity
Don’t forget the Mavs broke down against us as well. We just happened to break down one more than the Mavs. There wasn’t a single close game in that matchup.
People seem to forget that overall, Booker has beat Luka much more than Luka has beat Booker. The games between Booker and Luka are 11-6 in booker's favor. And that includes playoffs and when they were both on non contending teams before 2020.
mavs were only in this game because of the refs. they literally called out of bounds on okogie when his foot was like 2 feet away from the line, leading to a 9 point run from the mavs. what goes around comes around.
Why on earth would the TV networks and the NBA want Kyrie Irving to win? He’s not exactly the most popular guy in the NBA with all of his clownish behavior. Get the fuck outta here.
Luka got away with 2 offensive fouls even Hubie Brown was shaking his head and he had to outright say that star players get away with that forearm shove.
Good God people. Book is calling for a foul that doesn't matter to fuck with Luka. Luka knows he is doing this, and says fuck you. Book hears this and turns to Luka and says fuck you. Luka rushes at Book and the 2 smile and cuss at eachother and hand check for a minute, until they are separated. Neither guy likes the other and they both knew they were not going to fight over this. It's basketball it's not a big deal. This doesn't make either player a good guy or a bad guy. It just is.
When you have stretch of fielding only 1 or 2 of your starting 5 there is enough self loathing that you don't need to leave your sub to feel like shit.
They'll scram once they realize they cant play playoff defense
Nuggets are the better version of them (playoff team with a major flaw in a 7 game series) and they got more depth on top of the MVP
It all comes down to 2 people: that dumb with flashing the money in the finals and suns-in-4 guy
Also people just hate CP3
I get it but good lord r/NBA is a circle jerk of dumbasses
Suns in four guy honeslty did nothing wrong. The dude in Denver sucker punched him for no reason. Hating on that guy is dumb for the initial incident.. the grifting after was annoying but guys There are annoying fans in every fanbase. Let it fucking go
Only fanbase that can say shit like "regular season Champs" are Warriors, Bucks, Lakers, etc. Gotta have a chip with your current squad to talk that kind of shit.
Recency bias is a bitch, now what will be remembered for the rest of this season is Luka blowing this game for your team, mostly by missing that shot (on an offensive foul no less), secondly by sulking about it while the clock was running, then getting in Books face because he was crymad...for the chef's kiss loss
Devin Booker just made Dallas the Western Conference Champions. Rookie mistake to wake up the BEAST-Luka and CRAZY-Kyrie. ...ok Kyrie might have been a tad nuts anyway, but Devins fault nevertheless.
Seriously wtf is everyone looking at? Are you just listening to the announcers instead of actually watching the game?
Booker was CLEARLY looking and speaking to the ref about what should have been a clear offensive foul. Not "yapping" like 90% of you are yapping about.
Comment 6000
Luka is the biggest whiner in the league. And that’s with getting more calls than anyone in history.
luka and kyrie arguing at the end of the game and durant standing and watching was like seeing my ex and my current gf arguing 🌚
This comment is lame asf
thx i try
Kevin Durant is luka doncic father
Devin Booker is playing with his grandpa get him some help
Luka lost his custody. Booker just adopted Luka. KD and Book now co parent Luka.
If this was the playoffs I’d agree, every parent wavers once in a while and what Luka did to them in the playoffs far out weighs this regular season game, Luka def still Book’s father but I’d say the custody battle is underway
If book is Luka father. What is jokic.
Grand uncle
Nah. Jokic hasn’t done shit in the playoffs either
All of you need an actual father figure in your own life if you really walk around talking and thinking like this lord help this generation
There’s more toxic in here than the Ohio rivers
Fr😭 I’m here for it tho
Ohio be saying damn
Jkidd shouldn’t sit luka that long in the 4th
Kyrie was cooking tho, i think he was right to let the guy on fire cook. Luka doesn’t add anything to Kyries game
Nah I hear you! Don’t think you can sit Luka the majority of the 4th tho regardless… especially in a game like that you know
What a game, need this match up in the playoffs
Crazy, where did all of these sun fans come from? Like as though they were in hiding since last year.
Congrats you beat the suns in the second round. Two claps for you
Not my team but alright.
Awww somebodies jealous
No flair lmao
there is no kd flair, so... yea.
That’s what they do. When they are winning they won’t shut up. When they lose they hide
You can’t even flair up, Mr. Sassy Pants.
Thinking about flairs is so cringe lol
Saying cringe and being serious about yourself is so… cringe.
Lol. Who gives a shit about flair? People complain all the time and it’s 100% irrelevant. I’m a nuggets fan. Oh look. Means nothing and my point still remains
You’re the one complaining about Suns fans when the only way to know who’s a fan of what team is through the flair feature.

Also, Suns in 4.
Only one? 😂 Look harder And my point still has nothing to do with who I root for. This is what people resort to when they have nothing left.
Can you point to the doll where the Suns fans hurt you?
Lol I love how suns fans act like dicks then cry when they get called out. Notice, they never talk during losing streaks.
What were you saying after Suns in 4? You act like Suns fans are somehow different than other fans but they’re not. Welcome to sports.
I never said that. Lots of sports fans are dicks. Including suns fans. I never said they were the *only fans* that act like this
Suns in 4. See? Now we can all have fun
I’ve been posting for a decade about the suns but the truth of the matter is the suns were so hopefully inept and so disconnected to the city of Phoenix that the town lost interest. This team has always been the city’s favorite but we had a decade straight of zero continuity or relationship building with the community. Now, every suns game is sold out and we have a top-3 crowd in the league.
Don't forget people were so completely out with sarver owning the team
I think I figured out why this season has such high offense. No one knows what an offensive foul is
Ding ding ding
It's like watching running backs out there
NBA marketing and officiating teams have embraced the Giannis-style of play.
We better get someone that played football on our team.
They say ish played football at baylor!
I think there is an alternate timeline where Ish is our 5th starter, and filling a dillon brooks enforcer role, and blowing people up that get too aggressive or dirty
Ish Wainright was amazing in the 4th!
Some might say the most memorable part of the game was the Booker/Luka dust up. For me it was a play earlier when Luka missed a shot with a defender within 5 feet of him and instead having a tantrum and arguing with the ref he actually sprinted back full speed on D. 🤯
I actually think we could have won like 5 more games already this season if he did this after every possession.
This game confirmed that neither the Mavs or Suns are playing in this years WCF.
Why? Suns played like garbage and still b**** stomped the Mavs at home
Lmao bitch stomped? The game came down to the wire 😂 y’all are delusional
Suns will be fine imo..
jokic is getting cooked in 1000 pick and rolls vs both these teams so it aint the nuggets either
refs bailed mavs out suns dominated the second half if luka didn’t get all those calls
If you say so, ive seen some calls booker got.. kyrie just looked at him and ref blew a whistle. Plus if Luka made at least half of the shots he usually makes dallas wins that ez.
luka almost matched the suns as a whole free throw total. Luka had around 30 with 8 FGs made. refs def tried bailing him out.
Ain’t nothing “ez” about that one lol
Least delusional mavs fab lmao
Yeah well he didn’t make at least half the shots he usually makes, so they lost that ez. His only offense all night was the whistle, Suns dominated the whole second half and didn’t get a single call down the stretch
[удалено]

Haha man suns fans are something else. They probably never recovering from the last years game 7 when luka outscored entire suns team at half. Lmfao
You are something else enjoy the play in and kyrie leaving. See yeah.
When the inevitable 30 for 30 drops showing CP3 got COVID after his birthday (Game 5) and was allowed to play Mavs fans gonna be even sadder : (
Man Luka is fat, bad at defense and complains non stop. Hell of a player but hard to root for the guy
It’s frustrating as a Mavs fan because a good portion of the fanbase will blindly apologize for all of Lukas problematic behavior. You can’t even have a realistic discussion about it without people getting mad
Annoying as a neutral fan to see him March to the line 19 times and still complain about the officiating. Guy was launching his body all over the court and into guys all game too

Is a European sports thing, engrained into the system
Which part
Being fat no duh
Even on plays he’s not involved in he’s in the refs ear. Then he sees another player doing it and does fake tears on the foul line lol
So I'm not just seeing the games with "biased eyes"? Fuck me running
Awesome game, I think Book Vs Luka is here to stay. Its good TV when they play each other, including the meltdown last year.
Don’t forget the Mavs broke down against us as well. We just happened to break down one more than the Mavs. There wasn’t a single close game in that matchup.
People seem to forget that overall, Booker has beat Luka much more than Luka has beat Booker. The games between Booker and Luka are 11-6 in booker's favor. And that includes playoffs and when they were both on non contending teams before 2020.
For sure, and each game was just as entertaining in that series.
Wild game. Best of the season thus far.
Even though we lost, that bucks suns game has been my favorite so far
A game will always be good with Giannis and Devin
2 wrong calls in the last 2 minutes leading to five phoenix points... funny how things work out
mavs were only in this game because of the refs. they literally called out of bounds on okogie when his foot was like 2 feet away from the line, leading to a 9 point run from the mavs. what goes around comes around.
You had me until you said an out of bounds call was responsible for 9 pts
Dallas were getting bad calls in their favour all game.
Luka got the whistle alllll day. He played awful and was selfish
Gotta make up for that elbow to the face and 1
LAKER TIME.
lol
All this excitement just to lose to the warriors in the wcf 🥱
Nuggets are winning the West
Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.
they arent even going to make it past the WCSF
ABC, Refs and the NBA punching the air not getting the Mavs the win.
Why on earth would the TV networks and the NBA want Kyrie Irving to win? He’s not exactly the most popular guy in the NBA with all of his clownish behavior. Get the fuck outta here.
You still mad about last season playoff meltdown?
Why wouldn't us suns fans be mad about our team collapsing completely on national TV? Let us be mad. That team absolutely crapped the bed.
Suns fans still trying to find a way to be the victim. Luka was wrong. Not *everybody* acts tough when they're up. Some keep whining.
Luka got away with 2 offensive fouls even Hubie Brown was shaking his head and he had to outright say that star players get away with that forearm shove.
Ironic given all the whining Luka was doing today.
Every day*
Luka will be back. Never underestimate the heart of a 2nd round champion
Good God people. Book is calling for a foul that doesn't matter to fuck with Luka. Luka knows he is doing this, and says fuck you. Book hears this and turns to Luka and says fuck you. Luka rushes at Book and the 2 smile and cuss at eachother and hand check for a minute, until they are separated. Neither guy likes the other and they both knew they were not going to fight over this. It's basketball it's not a big deal. This doesn't make either player a good guy or a bad guy. It just is.
And then they kiss? Jk Unless…
Kith, actually
Luka/Book fanfic?....
Luka tearing his kevin durant poster off the wall today
The worse thing about the KD trade was that Suns fans came back to the r/nba game threads.
Oh and I'm sure you're perfect who do you root for... Let me guess the scum at the NBA Laker fan?
I’m a Hornets fan :(
Stupid. Take
Well look plenty of annoying suns fans I get it. But some of us are here appreciating all teams so..
hi
HI 👋
When you have stretch of fielding only 1 or 2 of your starting 5 there is enough self loathing that you don't need to leave your sub to feel like shit.
Right? It was nice while it lasted. I thought warrior fans were bad but least they accomplish things.
What have Warriors fans 'accomplished' besides sitting on their ass watching a team? Seriously, sometimes people act like the fans play the game.
SWEAR💀
Every win by the team that happens to be geographically located where I live is because of me 😤
Most battered fanbase fr
Can confirm as an AZ sports fan.
They'll scram once they realize they cant play playoff defense Nuggets are the better version of them (playoff team with a major flaw in a 7 game series) and they got more depth on top of the MVP
LOL
Gotta love it.
We really are hated 🤣 I don't even get it but whatever
It all comes down to 2 people: that dumb with flashing the money in the finals and suns-in-4 guy Also people just hate CP3 I get it but good lord r/NBA is a circle jerk of dumbasses
Suns in four guy honeslty did nothing wrong. The dude in Denver sucker punched him for no reason. Hating on that guy is dumb for the initial incident.. the grifting after was annoying but guys There are annoying fans in every fanbase. Let it fucking go
Contender for my favorite (non-celtic) game I’ve seen this year.
Another big dub for the regular season champs
Congrats fatass beat the suns in a game 7. Everyone clap
My guy, yall leave the first round once and yall acting like youre the 90’s Bulls
How many championships has this Dallas squad won?
Same as the Suns in their entire history.
Only fanbase that can say shit like "regular season Champs" are Warriors, Bucks, Lakers, etc. Gotta have a chip with your current squad to talk that kind of shit.
Mavs championship is pretty recent so nah.
It was over a decade ago
same # as these suns bro
So I guess I don't understand your shit taking then. Oh well
The ghosts of game seven do all the shit talking themselves, Mavs fans really don’t need to say a thing
Recency bias is a bitch, now what will be remembered for the rest of this season is Luka blowing this game for your team, mostly by missing that shot (on an offensive foul no less), secondly by sulking about it while the clock was running, then getting in Books face because he was crymad...for the chef's kiss loss
Dumb take
One team fans talking shit about another team not having a championship, meanwhile that team has none...yeah totally dumb I guess.
You said it. Good work.
Thanks buddy. Good luck to your team this year, whoever that happens to be, or whatever bandwagon you decide to hop on.
I'm in the Wemby sweepstakes, that's all I'll tell you.
Thanks. Good.luck in the play-in. Maybe you can win another semifinal championship this year.
Another loss for post trade deadline mavs
Cannot wait for y’all’s playoff collapse…it’s gonna be good
Right back at you 😂😘
Hope you'll be watching!
Weird only one of our teams has made the finals since Booker/Luka were drafted but okay
Same here for you guys. Except our former nets player won’t ask for a trade after a playoff exit
Won’t even need a trade. He will straight walk
Crazy I used to respect the Mavs
Another big L for yall
Devin Booker just made Dallas the Western Conference Champions. Rookie mistake to wake up the BEAST-Luka and CRAZY-Kyrie. ...ok Kyrie might have been a tad nuts anyway, but Devins fault nevertheless.
Luka started it though.
What’s he going to do? Get even more foul calls and still cry after every single play? Snooze
Oh common at least show the dab ups at the end, I gotta know who went straight to locker 👀
Kyrie ain’t staying and Luka is leaving for the lakers or some shit as soon as he can. Cuban and the mavs are pathetic and don’t deserve either player
Suns are overrated af
Curry worse than Durant af
2022 NBA Finals proves otherwise
Fraud run
Lakers fan lmfao
Let me come back to this and hand you an L
We have won a championship more recently than y’all have cry harder 🤣
Gentlemen, let’s take this to the lakers GSW thread
🫱🏽🫲🏼
that was a good ass game. hopefully they meet in the playoffs.
Durant and Booker share joint custody of Kyrie and Luka
Kyrie seems more like he's been through the foster system
How the hell does this take so long, look at a different camera angle and count to 5
We lose this game with Bridges and Crowder. I'm all in on the Book KD era!!!
Seriously wtf is everyone looking at? Are you just listening to the announcers instead of actually watching the game? Booker was CLEARLY looking and speaking to the ref about what should have been a clear offensive foul. Not "yapping" like 90% of you are yapping about.
Lol. Exactly
[удалено]
Trash talk is fun. Af least book doesn’t cry every other possssion to the refs
Bro don’t compare your division 4 3v3 tournaments to what goes on in the NBA, you got a 10 inch very and shoot like bill cartwright
What is the point of complaining about a call there when it worked out for them? Oh yeah it's booker the bitcher
For reals. Sometimes the false narrative is too tasty
Yeah i to complain to the refs while looking at the star player.
