Bryan Gutierrez @BallinWithBryan:
Dallas has lost three straight and four of the last five regular-season matchups against Phoenix. They have also lost the last three regular-season matchups at home against Phoenix.
Will need to see if anything changes before the game, but Phoenix is listing Devin Booker (right rib contusion), Marquese Chriss (left ankle sprain), and Alex Len (right ankle soreness) all as questionable for tonight.

Sun-Otter God has spoken, "Ariz-otters from the West suck sun; the Horse People from the West become our rulers tonight." Translation: Suns suck huge; Mavs win big!
Mavs - 100
Sunny-Otters - 90

Just saw ESPN's segment on Dirk before this game, and they were basically shitting on him and saying his shot is gone and he can't play anymore smh. One of the best eFG% years he's had...
Did get a lot of love and respect from Paul Pierce and T-Mac afterward though.

Dirk's shot has been in a slump for the last 5 games... That's basically the whole season, right?

According to Suns beat writer, Scott Bordow, Booker will play tonight, and more than likely start.

Whoever at ESPN bought the broadcast rights to this game needs to be fired.

Suns aren't a very good team, but they're moving the ball around really well.

I have no use for Devin Harris. He needs as much rest as the Mavs can give him the remainder of the season.

Outside of Dirk, who's an actual shooter on this team?
I know some are going to say Wes, but imo, he use to be a shooter. Now, Wes is an average shooter, imo. 41% FG, he is above average from 3 (this season), but he's always been a streaky shooter, especially since the injury.
That's a big reason why I'm not sweating bullets over our tank. Mavs are very capable of having these 5-21 stretches like they did in the 1st qtr & finding themselves down double digits to one of the worst defenses in the league. Like Underdog has said a time or two, it's not tanking if you're just not very good.

This is my first extended look at Josh Jackson. I like his active body. He's had the best motor for any Suns player tonight.
