With the help of Brunson to Doncic, Dallas managed to stand still in this series. If they lost the game last night, the series would come to a point that they wouldn't be able to make a comeback from. If Mavericks manage to add another superstar beside Doncic, they would become one of the strongest candidates of the title next season. For this series, I still think that they don't have much chance.

I think they have. I am not trying to underestimate the Suns but the Mavericks are showing life when it comes to the offensive end. It's just a matter of Luka Doncic providing them the ball to keep their hands hot. Finney Smith especially who had been big in shooting outside. He must receive the ball if he is clear and shoot it to gain the confidence.
But, if they will go back to the same game they did in games 1 and 2 where Luka is the focal point of everything, I am sure they will lose.

Yes, you are certainly right about that Jalen and Luka is a good tandem in the Mavericks side so if they could afford to add another good player in their current line-up then I'm sure that they could be a candidate again in the next season if also they could be this healthy again. But for now that they are against the Phoenix Suns which is more hungry than them and of course with CP3 who also knows how to answer and learn from every mistakes that they did this day, I couldn't help to side with the Suns.

This is another official match-up.

It's Luka vs Booker and CP3 vs Brunson.

What team do you like to win, and why do you believe they will win?

Head to head record.
Mavericks have never won a single game in the last 9 games they met.
Will that record be enough to determine that the Mavericks here as no chance to win?

Finally, Dallas was able to snag a victory agains the powerhouse Suns. I was actually expecting that Dallas might blew this one up due to the lack of their players in this playoffs but Luka was able to define the odds. He is just unguardable on the field and he finishes so strong that the %fg gives him the highest percent on the field. As much as I want to root for Dallas, I doubt that they will be able to win against the Suns here.

Like what I also mentioned, Dallas needs another consistent 25+ ppg player on the field to support Luka. Luke on himself is just magical but he needs a support to carry the burden of the others.

They have awaken Brunson, if he would continue to contribute that way, then I believe that the Mavericks will be able to even the series. Thier shooting is great, they do the same play as Luka is good in looking open teammates but Mavs have a great shooting at home that's why they won.

I'm glad Mavericks avoided the sweep and Brunson finally stepping up. Luka was doing the same thing he did previous 2 just Mavericks taking less shots. The Mavericks were playing team defence without relying on 1 man to create the offense and play defense as if he wouldnt get tired from carrying the load. Seriously Brunson problems has always been his inconsistency just look at last year against the clippers, he can play but when up against actual good defenders he just can't dominate the way he did against the Jazz which by the way has one of or the worst perimeter defense in the NBA.

-6 was not only good, but it was an easy money.

It's opposite compared to game 1 but the same result.
In game 1, Suns started strong but melted in the 4th, while in game 2, at the start the game was close but Suns dominated the Mavericks in the 4th.
Suns covered both spread in game 1 and 2.

I personally thought Dallas could cover the spread even If they lose and I thought this is going to be a close game. I was wrong, Booker and CP3 are just too much for the Mavs.
Doncic can't carry a team alone. They could've kept Porzingis as he is a good addition to both offensive and defensive end.

Judging on the 2 games, I personally think this series is over.

The Dallas haven't learned on their mistakes on their 1st game with the Suns this round because this time the lead even grow further for 20 points, and mind you, Ayton only played for less than 20 minutes but they still cannot handle Chris Paul and Booker. Luka's efforted won't amount that much because they are still losing. Yes, maybe we already seen enough for this round of their match-up.

Mavericks finally managed to win a game in this series and dropped the gap to one. They won 103-94 last night and there was finally a better game by them as a team. Doncic only by himself can't carry the team until the end. They always need an extra contribution by at least one more player. And this game was exactly like that. Jalen Brunson contributed a lot to the game by 28 points. And Doncic had a solid performance again by 26 points. And he got 13 rebounds and 9 assists as well. His field goal percentage wasn't much high but this contribution is still very much.

Congrats to Dallas Mavericks, Finally Brunson showed up and bring his A game in the game.
Big win by the Dallas Mavericks, they bounce back strong and has dominated the Suns to get their 1st win in the series.

It was a low scoring game and I like the kind of defense Dallas used in this game.

Good balance for Suns but Mavs had a decent shooting percentage, especially for Brunson who scored 28 points in the game.

It was Danny Green who step up on the side of Sixers and help them to win against the Heat.

Now on the side of the Mavs, it was Brunson, he had 2 bad games and now redeem himself. Yes, the defense of the Mavs is physical, I think they try to bring it in the second game, but unfortunately, they committed fouls and got into early foul trouble. Now they turn the tables against the Suns.

The presence and help of Embiid is what makes the Sixers win the recent match. Danny Green just contribute on it and step up since he is playing on game 1 & 2 while 76ers both lose the game. They just won when Embiid return on the recent game. Anyway we should not discuss other match here since this thread is dedicated to the teams on the title.

This is common when team get a home advantage while they are down by 2 games. Suns lose on Pelicans home court too by 1 game. Brunson this time is very productive but I doubt he can be consistent as Doncic on all of the remaining games with Suns. I really hope they will tie the series so that Suns odds will be boost.

Well, it's their homecourt and I guess it's expected. They need to tie the series at their homecourt as well, they need to do what the Phoenix did when they defended their home. I think that's the scenario I am expecting here and if by chance I bet later on, I bet it for the Dallas to win. Looks like another star in the making.

That's what the Mavericks community is waiting for, stepping up of some Mavericks players. They were able to slow down Chris Paul's offensive attack and limit him below his usual average. But the Suns still looking good at this game even though they were downed by a big lead, their overall contribution is good.

I want to know what happens to Spencer Dinwiddie. Maybe it's his first time in a pressure game. He is very non-consistent since the start of the playoffs. He needs to figure out what things he needs to do to help the Mavericks in every game.

The last game between them was last night and Suns obtained another victory against Mavericks. And it was a huge win by a twenty-point gap. Suns are playing really dedicatedly in each one of their games. Mavericks will need to play better as a team but I wouldn't like to lie to myself about it. In the rest of the games, the scenario would be the same. Doncic would try to take all the responsibility in the team and we wouldn't see as strong game as Suns have now. Maybe this can help Mavericks win two times or so but they wouldn't do better than that. Suns would eliminate them.

I doubt the Suns would not play that strong. Each game is an important game for them and that's why they became the top seed of the West.
32-9 at home and 32-9 on the road. Obviously, they take every game as seriously as they could even their road games.

Mavericks can win against them but the level of defense should not deteriorate in the closing game. The 1st to 3rd quarter was full of energy, they even their chance for a lead but suddenly that 4th quarter made them look too exhausted to play defense. That should not happen and I think the issue is player rotation.

Will that record be enough to determine that the Mavericks here as no chance to win?

The history of their match Suns vs Mavericks, it's true as you say, the Mavericks have never escaped the clutches of the Suns team.

This second half, I see people who want to bet for them the prediction of winning is bigger for the Suns team, the prediction of the winning percentage for the Mavericks is lower than the 1st round, there is an exception in this second half for the Mavericks, if the Mavericks team has a great new player, most likely the situation can change, the chances will be better than the first half.

But for now I see the Mavericks team players are still with the old players, no new faces for now.

That's good to hear. Grin

Let's get the good discussion going here, Warriors vs Memphis, this is a good series and Ja Morant is just showing he can trash talk the entire warriors roster. By the way Dillion Brooks out in game 3?

This must be a good match in the other side cause we all know these two teams are stronger in their bracket and for sure both team will play better. Maybe the Memphis has a good and veteran star player but we can not predict that they will be the champ because we all know that warriors is not just easy to beat.

I think this is not the thread to discuss the warriors vs Memphis, they have their own thread.
Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/warriors-vs-grizzlies-2nd-round-discussion-5396736

this is a Suns vs Mavericks thread.

By the way, Game 3 odds, Dallas is pk or+1.
Easy for Suns if they'll continue to dominate IMO.

You should not fight here. LOL

Just take the betting to the bookie because you will never agree on the odds you offered to each other.
Anyway, as a gambler and as a fan, we have our personal opinion and prediction on the outcome of the series, so let's just respect each other.

Hey, mate. We are not fighting. That's a constructive exchange of discussion. It's usual to see a disagreement on a topic like this. It's even more heated at the social media comments if by chance you encountered them at some point. It doesn't mean we are not respecting each other's comment (I don't know to that user if the feeling is the same though) but just supporting our stand with our own beliefs and analysis.

I will continue to support my stand whatever it takes.

Again, no fighting was involved here. That exchange of statements is normal. We are in a public forum and expect disagreement from different people.

It's nice to hear that and for let's focus on the game between this two team mavericks and suns. which those teams showing their best to claim the championship and even though Dallas mavericks will in the adjustment mode maybe next game we can see a good match from these two teams.

@Beparanf and @agustina2.. Make it happen guys.. I like this kind of game, you are having fun in the playoffs.

1;1 is fair if you guys both agree with it. Some get it on!

Anyways, Suns is still -6 tomorrow, do you think Suns is the public bet?

Well he didn’t reply back and I think this will not gonna happened anymore since Suns already got the 2-0 lead with a convincing win on both game. Maybe he will agree to continue if Mavs manage to even the series on there home for game 3 and 4. I will be happy to still accept his bet offerif this happened while the Suns team is complete(Assuming there will be no injury on the road).

Either way I’m still happy to my todays win bet for Suns. They never let me down as usual.

They covered that spread, you can even bet higher and still win your bet.

So congrats, I didn't bet on this match though, just decided on the other games, Heat vs Sixers.

But in this game, it was really very close up to the 3rd quarter. But when the 4th quarter starts, it was a different Suns team as they built a good double digit lead and the Mavs doesn't have any answer to that.

Actually I just took the special offer of Duelbits during prematch, that’s the only spread available on that special bet. It’s a combine bet which technically a parlay on same match so you don’t have that much choice but still the odds is pretty good for the ML and Spread combination. The game result went well according to my prediction. You can check it on Duelbits sportsbook for that very awesome offer. Wink
