This series has really become about home court advantage. There is still a lot of time in the second half but I already stopped watching after Suns trailed by as many as 20 points. I'm still rooting for the Suns to wrap it up but that's unlikely to happen in Dallas. See you in game 7. I expect that to be more physical and intense.

Finally, a game 7 from this NBA season's playoffs would be amazing to watch because every move and decision matters in that crucial game. I wonder how will the Phoenix Suns survive this since even though their players are complete, they still lack something when Luka and the Mavs are playing well. Since this is the playoffs anything could happen and most likely it would be an unexpected turn of events. nevertheless, we thank both teams for giving us such good games to watch that we will gonna missed after the NBA championship games.

I think Suns will still win, however, I have a feeling that the game 7 will be a close game and therefore Suns will not be able to cover the spread. They played well on their respective home court this series, but game 7 is the last game, so they have to give everything they have.

If it's going to be a close game, then it's safe to bet on the Mavericks handicap, they are +6.5 now, I think it's a very attractive odds considering we are now in game 7. It's a Luka vs Booker show, and CP3 vs Brunson, all these players should play well so it's going to be a great game 7.

Good luck to all the bettors, don't forget to bet and watch the last game of the series.

BTW, some significant line movement.
Total open at 209.5, now only 205. (under is screaming)

As the Suns try to finish off the Mavericks with their backs against the wall, you have to hope we don't see another Warriors/Grizzlies situation. You can expect the Mavericks to throw everything they've got at the Suns tonight as they try to stay alive and force a game 7 to see who goes to the Western Conference Finals. I think Luka has his eye on that new Western Conference MVP trophy that's been named after Magic Johnson.

That being said, I don't see any reason why Phoenix doesn't finish Dallas off tonight. I am expecting Luka to work some magic, but to be quite honest I'm surprised they were able to sneak out 2 victories in this series.

Dallas never fails their fans at their home, so I think they'll still win because it's hard to go against the trend in the 2nd round. Only +2 now, if the game is close, it's still worth to take that +2 as it might end up with a very close game and Dallas might cover if they'll lose in game 6.

Dallas came through for sure. The Suns have to be terrified now. The Mavericks have momentum and Chris Paul has to be thinking this is his last chance at a ring. At this point I think the Suns might be the underdogs after the last two games. Booker is going to have to step it up a notch and prove he’s a superstar by carrying his team to the next round. He’s gotta be more efficient than he was tonight if the Suns want to win. After that clip of him taking the ball from Luka went viral, it’s been all bad for Book.

Yeah, and with the Suns being the top seed, they have the homecourt in game 7. I don't know what will be the key difference, but I think Ayton has been dominating in this series and I would say the most consistent amongst the Suns.

If they wanted to win, Booker, CP3 will need to have a big game because they have a hard time stopping Luka in this series. Almost triple double in this game and with a huge blow out win for them.

Seems like the Suns are ready to move to the next round. Luka got a little help here and there this series, but it's still pretty clear that without a dominant second scorer this team is going to struggle in the postseason. The next game should be a good one as Dallas has their backs to the wall, but I think they're just overmatched. I'm expecting a Suns vs Warriors Western Conference Finals, and with the Warriors healthy (more or less) this year, we'll likely see the series we should have seen last year. That matchup will probably be the best of the postseason unless we get a Bucks/Warriors Finals matchup, which right now seems more likely than not.

The pressure is always on Luka since his team mates is very inconsistent on scoring. It's good that Brunson finally helping Luka but in exchange was the rest of the team is playing very awful on Suns home court. Maybe we can see some do or die game once the game fly back to Dallas since Mavs is strong when they have there home support. I notice how Ayton come bqck strong on this game. Suns is very strong when Ayton finally giving some contribution in offence and defence.

Yeah, Finney-Smith didn't have the usual good shooting night. It was only Brunson and Luka who did most of the scoring in this game. Finney-Smith 8 points and Reggie Bullock 0 and Dinwiddle 2 points. That is no support, they just had a bad shooting night overall. Booker exploded for 28 points and CP3 with 10 assists.

Dallas are good at home, but if they would remain like that, they would still lose in the series. Going back to their home court, they need to defeat the Suns by a huge margin so they will have the momentum in game 7 and they can match well the Mavericks.

In that case, I might wait for game 7 before I will place my bet on the series. Though it's a trend I don't trust the Mavericks will win and push the series to game 7 as the Suns would like to finish the series so they could rest early. CP3 has not exploded yet, both 2 games in the road are not good for him, so I'm expecting he will have a good game in game 6.

But it was enough for them to take the lead in this series even if CP3 after having a 'perfect' game seems to be struggling. Although we have to understand that he is guarding Brunson from time to time and that gets some of his energy.

So I yeah, why not wait if there will be a game 7, most likely though, the Suns wanted to end this series even at the Dallas homecourt, go back to Phoenix and rest.

Dallas what to proved that they are not easy to beat cause they can defend their team and became enter the finals they can win against suns if they are doing good in defense like what they did when they win but only thing they should improve the most they must have a good ball-handler cause what we saw on the previous games lots of turnovers from them and that's the reason why suns less atmost 20 points.

That's what happens when Jalen Brunson just does his Jalen Brunson thing. He is one of the keys to why the Mavericks beats the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs but just become silent in Games 1 and 2 against the Phoenix Suns this second round.

Luka Doncic needs this help from his teammates as while he is making big productions, his teammates should also put some effort to help the team win, not just by points but for other aspects as well like good communication, help defense, and many more.

The series is now 2-2.

You've got to give Dallas Mavericks some huge credits for getting back into the series, they tactically outplayed the Suns from the very first quarter of the game, and Chris Paul getting into foul troubles very early before he eventually fouled-out with the game still within reach. Doncic carries the entire team effortlessly and he doesn't need to do all the scoring by himself when they are able to knock down shots easily.

I don't know what to make of this series now, but Dallas stand more than half a chance to win the series from what I've seen in the last two games.

The Dallas Mavericks really deserved to get some credits for making the heaviest team this season struggle, we already thought that they are already finish in the first two games but they bounced back and tied the series now. Luca and Jalen have adjusted on the Suns strategy that's why they are now starting to threaten the Suns position to move into the next round, well see later what would be the result.

This has become a tough series, Dallas were able to even the series, that only tells they are capable of beating the Suns, and with CP3 struggles in the last 2 games, if he will not be able to have a good game in game 5, then most likel Dallas will upset the home team and lead the series.

Just what I've thought, the Suns did bounced back after being ugly defeated. They've poured 110 points and closed the game with a 30 point difference giving Luka and Jalen a hard time on Game 5 after what happened on the Game 4. CP3 only did some assists while Booker and Ayton did the most points for the team. Now that the series is 3-2 in favor of the Suns, I wonder what would be the response of the Mavericks next game.

The Suns easily beat the Mavericks in the 5th game of the series. After this performance, I don't think the series will extend to a 7th game. Even though it is usual to happen such fluctuations in the series, when I looked at the facial expressions of the Mavericks players last night, I saw that they had a great disappointment.

I think we will see a game 7 here, both teams are winning on their home court dominantly, and if the trend will continue, then most likely Suns will win in game 7. CP3 is not as good as he was in the 1st 2 games, but Suns still go the win, thanks to Booker, he carried the team.

It's looking like a blowout for the Suns right now and even +6.5 for Mavs might not cover it. I didn't expect the home team to pull away in the third quarter and I'm pretty sure they will protect this lead until the end. What's even more dangerous for the Mavs is CP3 not taking many shots so far but with eight assists already.

I also thought the Mavs would able to sustain the lead and Suns lead closer to just how much was the point spread, but a sudden Suns burst in the 3rd quarter that lets the deficit ballooned into 15 points.
This series might end on game 6, but It would be better If we can see a tight game 7 between these 2 teams.

Yeah, the Suns went on a run on the 3rd quarter 10-0 run and that was enough to sustain their lead and never look back.

Of course we would love to see a game 7, but the Suns doesn't want to give the Mavs the momentum and if given the chance, will love to close out the series next game. I'm expecting a very competitive game 6.
