Time: 12:30pm AZ (11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET)
Place: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
TV: ABC(ESPN) / NBALP

Super early start for some of you, 3:30pm in Barbados so I get another game to watch Live after some lunch.

Well this is an obvious "must win" game for the "sneak in to the Play In" storyline. It's no secret Mavs are a depleted team and since the All Star break they are 2-6 currently on a 4 game losing streak hanging on to the 10th seed. Those two wins were also Hornets and Pelicans......

They played the Grizzlies tough last game and as EJ always says, these end of the bench and two way guys always play hard to prove themselves so once again no room for our too kool stuff

Sunday matinee game against the Mavs with no Luka will seem weird. Either way, expect fellas gonna handle business.

Go Suns !!!

Just to confirm
This is the Mavs situation.



Game plan has to be get to the basket and points in the paint. I don't think we should be tempted to play small ball with KD at 5. Both Richards and Plumlee been solid recently and Mavs have no bigs right now

Guards wise, Klay still runs hot and cold but know he gets up for games against Book
Then there's Mr. Spencer "I only play well against the Suns" Dinwiddie smh

Really no excuses for us today

[ShelC]

Dinwiddie goes for 30.

Mavs running out a skeleton crew in this game. I would feel bad for them, but Nico has cursed their franchise for a generation.

Suns by 18.

Thanks again for making the thread, bg! I had a late night last night and just woke up and saw the 12:30 Phoenix time start time.

If there's ever a must win, this is one. So the Suns will probably struggle to beat the hapless Mavs. Suns don't enjoy leads of any type.

Spoiler: show/hide

So I expect it to be close. Suns by 5.

If they don't win, time to start playing the developmental players from here on out.

I can't believe this game is on ABC. Is it courtesy of Make-A-Wish? Find the two most disappointing and distraught teams and feature them? I hope it's not one of those deals where they invite the ugly girl to the prom and then make fun of them.

Have the Sixers be the halftime show.

And invite the NBA's worst mascot. It might be Philly's. And feature the lamest halftime show.

The Mavs should have to move to Vegas. Or Alaska. Give Dallas a new team, they deserve better.

Pathetic Mavs edge woebegone Suns by 4 after an epic 4th quarter Suns collapse.

Rumor is moving the Mavs to Vegas was the motivating factor for trading Luka.

► Show Spoiler

Suns by three over the Mavs JV

This will show if Phoenix has any interest in the play-in ...

It’s not hard to see where such speculation would come from, I’ve wondered about it myself, but I’m not aware of any real evidence for it.

If they do want to move the team, I wish they’d just go ahead and move it now instead of stringing Dallas along and messing with the fans.

[TOO]

Oh boy Mark Jones again.

[SunsSince92]

This is awful to watch. We're so static on offence.

[bajanguy008]

About 4 or 5 turnovers already.....

This kid Williams starting at PG is fresh off a 31pt game and playing with a bounce in his step
