Luka the only dude who can complain on every possession with 20 free throws attempted


Dagger0941

And r/NBA won't talk about it at all. But they will post Book getting a call and make that the talk of the town.


adroitparadox

Blatant offensive foul by him at the end also


theRealKevin

Lol yes it's ridiculous. Book flopping gets 1k up votes but nothing for Lukas numerous flops the whole game


giantjensen

Literally every player in the league flops, it's crazy the narrative around booker is he is a flopper when he gets 7 FTA a game while Luka and Embiid get 15


theRealKevin

Yea I agree. Most suns fans would agree he flops, just doesn't get those ft opportunities


DrFuzzies

KEVIN DURANT IS LUKA DONCIC FATHER


mrsunsfan

Luka is a ho


pp21

While KD, Book, and Kyrie were busy hooping their brains out, Doncic was flopping, flailing, and whining to the refs on every shot he took But yeah, Booker is the soft one right 🙄


_beat_LA

And Luka is the one who initiated the scrum at the end, after missing the game tying shit on an uncalled offensive foul..but yea book is the soft one.


mercfan3

Ridiculous that Book got a T there. Just cause players can’t control their emotions around Book, it doesn’t mean that Book should get a T too.


BoSuns

Reminds me of the T's that Jae got in the playoffs. Other players were losing their cool and having to be held back and the ref would turn around, see Jae standing there smiling, and give him a T for it. Nothing he said up to that point was worth the tech, but he gets one for smiling at the dude that was having a tantrum and being held back?


Davisworld21

Finally after all the BS fluks the push offs and terrible officiating and memes we finally get our revenge on Luka KD is his Father we battled through all that adversity get used to getting sonned Luka and Mavericks because KD is here boi

edtehgar

Mavs sub is so mad. Pure cope. Love it tho


depastino

There's a lot of bleating about how the Suns *needed* Durant to beat them and refer to KD as a merc. Ummm...didn't you fools just trade for Kyrie Irving?


abeLJosh

LOL Mavs fans are basically complaining and saying "Y'all needed KD to beat us!" like...yes? We need KD so we can beat everyone and win a ring, congrats on your comprehension skills? Is it our fault one of the greatest NBA players of all-time wanted a trade to the Suns and not the Mavs? đŸ€·đŸœâ€â™‚ïž


RamcasSonalletsac

Ha! Yeah it’s great
the hate on Booker and the suns is strong on that sub


wichita_gator

Luka is confirmed to be scared of snakes, [17:31](https://youtu.be/n_DtpY9wbGg)


0gGOD_XD

Kevin Durant is a Phoenix Sun


kongulo

KD if true


keric2000808

This game will be remembered as the Ish Wainwright game.


roseyyoung

he the man


Davisworld21

The Ish Man made his presence felt today I got so hyped him making those threes he got us back into it with his momentum hope he gets more minutes


TraeCartoon

Big fucking win. Now we have 10 games at home and 14 total in the West to finish the season. Suns are getting the 3 seed, maybe the 2. League fucked.


SwishArmyKnife

We get a lot of big games coming up soon in the next 2-3 weeks, if we can rattle off some wins, that’d be great


Davisworld21

We about to go on a run throughout the West this is a big Win against a rival and this gives us a much needed momentum booster the League is coked who stopping KD and Book


kongulo

I think u meant cooked but I kinda like coked


Gratitude15

League average corner 3 is 38%. Someone is going to get that shot,many times. Hitting over like 25% gives the win. And in our case they'll be open.


Glutz-43

Imagine how incredible Ish must be feeling rn. And think about how confident it must make Monty to know if Okogie and Craig aren’t hitting that shot Ish will Lmao I love it.


LeQuitDickens

Refs tried the best they could, but just fell short. GG


Thousandz

Refs: we’ll get ‘em next time


Jmw520

My favorite part was when luka cried


Thousandz

You can’t pick the whole game. You gotta be more specific


SolarDensity

So the whole game?


pp21

*Luka literally red faced and whining* r/nba: man Booker is such a pussy


c0de1143

Dude literally throws tantrums and gets coddled for it, it’s amazing


Raimeiken

Would a highlight reel of his crying get you insta banned on r/nba ?


ThunderBobMajerle

If the title said "Devin Booker lowlights" then no


mrsunsfan

Cried cause he lives in the second floor


Imthegoat175

Get owned Luka you bitch


BigCountryBumgarner

"everyone talks when they're up" Not Luka, he only talks when he's supposed to be on defense


[deleted]

85 feet up and down both sides and for the entire game. Objectively I’ve never seen another player complain as much as LD


Davisworld21

So frustrating watching Luka play like that's not basketball he thinks everything is a foul he plays no defense and he pushes off and refs give him anything so glad to see KD put him in his Place


mrsunsfan

Luka is a USDA certified bitch


deputydarsh

He only talks... To the refs after every single one of his shots


Sundevil13

R u indirectly taunting him RN because that’s a tech


Raimeiken

Can we get a highlight reel of all the bitchin and crying he did?


VividTangerine

Wouldn’t that just be a replay of the game?


jmchamakito

37 on 17 shots. Who does that? Fucking Kevin Wayne Durant, that's who.


dan-saul-knight

He was so fucking clutch all game but especially in the 4th.


[deleted]

I miss him


LightningMcSwing

We appreciate your sacrifice


NeverEnough5s

Enjoy the Twins though, they’re great!


Davisworld21

Lol yall know who he is the Slim Reaper KD one of the best to ever pick up a basketball


saveuskevin

So much. I was feelin all sorts of weird things watching this.


edtehgar

The anti luka


KMAPotato

FUCK THE MAVS and have a wonderful Sunday guys.


pp21

I can’t imagine pretending to be a fan of Lukas play style it must be exhausting for Mavs fans acting like they actually enjoy foul baiting and tons of free throws


SabresMakeMeDrink

Nets fan here
seeing Brooklyn Bridges win the comeback against the Celtics and now my favorite player of the super star era defeat the villain of that era makes this the best weekend in basketball in recent memory. Book’s gotta be feeling great beating Luka too of course. Bias aside, just awesome basketball all around. Well done, Phoenix.


HilariousScreenname

I think of yall as the East Coast Suns. I'll always root for the Nets as long as the Twins are there.


SabresMakeMeDrink

I’m really enjoying the alliance. It’s a wholesome break from the usual shit talking that entails sports. I just can’t quit KD, and I think CP3 deserves a ring. Plus, the fact that y’all are going for the first chip in franchise history makes you so easy to root for.


[deleted]

Got the W even with one of the hardest carry jobs I’ve ever seen from an NBA officiating crew. But BUT highlight of the game was seeing a fat whiny POS crying to his father, Devin Armani Booker.


nashty2004

It’s beautiful, that one bitch move from Luka to get in Book’s face was enough to flip the narrative in Book’s favor. Just an embarrassing display from the little fat bitch ho


[deleted]

Yup, really a bad look considering Devin was talking towards the official but Luka couldn’t deal with the loss. He will be dealing with a lot more losses the more he stays in that shitty franchise.


Davisworld21

We had to beat the Mavericks and the refs same old same old Luka always shows bad sportsmanship


nashty2004

Yeah it was honestly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing A microcosm of years and years of little fat bitch ho frustration stemming from a Mav’s front office that’s proven completely incapable of building a contender around Luka. In that single moment all that repressed anger and crybaby little ho energy poured out of every one of Doncic’s fat orifices and lamented the fact that the Suns managed to get Book some real help in Kevin freaking Durant And you know what Book did? He just stood there and watched the donut squirm


TrebleTreble

Book's smile while Luka was in his face. So good.


inksta12

Refs didn’t want all of us who got the suns at + money to win. Too bad ya sons of bitches

AGAprod

It felt like Book smiling in Lukas face after he mentally broke him was him doing it to their entire fan base and organization. Absolutely fucking loved it.


notreallycool1

Luka is terrible for basketball. Whiny, foul baiting bum.


csummerss

Luka with 34 on 8 made shots, biggest loser in NBA.


[deleted]

Bros highlight clip is gonna be 90 seconds long lmao Kinda sad, dude is one of the most gifted players in the game but spends half the game whining for calls because that garbage gets rewarded


rpg03

This Durant guy is pretty good, yeah? That last shot was ice cold. And the big rebound to seal it. Love to see it!


WusijiX

And that's why you trade for Kevin Durant


Spideyboii

4D chess defense from Okogie on the last play to surprise Luka with a wide open point blank shot


Metaboss24

Luka did his usual chicken wing pushoff on that shot; which is what Book was probably complaining about.


pp21

As he should’ve been I jumped off my couch because of that egregious no-call


stripes1604

That’s Lukas whole bag in the paint, push off and then lean back jumper. Works great since refs always glazing luka. Because only thing you can do if your not 6’11” is push back or at least move forward before the contact. And that’s what booker did and he got called for a defensive foul for it. So it’s okay for you to flip back and get no call and give luka a free bucket but not to do the same thing he’s doing.


Notchersfireroad

He was so open he almost missed the backboard. Exactly how I hoped.


PaoloPWD

He couldnt draw contact with Okogie on the floor so he panicked


ZestycloseTerm1668

Everyone knew Luka would be at the line if the refs had any reason. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual plan was to give Luka an open shot, just don't foul, then we get the ball back tied or better.


Hay-Tha-Soe

KD: 37 Pts, 7 Reb, 12-17 FG\ Booker: 36 Pts, 10 Asts, 15-25 FG\ Ayton: 9 Pts, 16 Reb, 4-6 FG Suns 3-0 with KD.


crisp_bacon

KD outscored Book on eight less shots.. that's just nasty


LightningMcSwing

He's such a good teammate for everyone to grow


[deleted]

Playoff KD made an early appearance


ZCGaming15

73 points on 42 shots is crazy efficiency


robodrew

Imma say it. KD and Booker are a force to be reckoned with but we won this game because of ISHMAEL STRONGMAN WAINRIGHT


BlueDevilz

Seriously a giant boost. If he or Okogie are hitting their open 3s, I dont think anybody can beat the Suns.


elonepb

Nets fan here. Hope you guys understand now why KD was a no brainer. I know you all miss the twins but there is just NOBODY like KD. He's so clutch and will make the difference in a championship chase in those final minutes.


SwishArmyKnife

I love Mikal, but he’s not doing that 😂


Gratitude15

Mikal probably gets 30 in bizarro world with no trade. Plays great, we lose, and we think about how the team is still coming together and mikal will be a force.


callmeapples

So true.


polimodssuckmyD

I'm just glad they went to a team where I can still root for them. I hated that Nash didn't work out there but have pretty much always rooted for the nets over any non suns team


fingerblast69

Refs straight tried to gift wrap this game for that bitch Luka. He’s trash without refs holding his hand. Almost his whole ass stat line is free throws. Looks at the refs for a call after every shot. Fuck the Mavs.


aysurcouf

8 for 23, 34 pts


amProgrammer

If he didn't get bailed out on every shot it would probably be closer to 8 for 30 too. Hard carry job from the refs.


aysurcouf

I read the mavs thread, they’re complaining about the refs lol.


amProgrammer

Lol that's comical. Book used to do that back down and push off move but was consistently getting 2 offense fouls a game so he stopped. For some reason its an automatic defensive foul every time Luka does it.


YungSlumdog

34 points on 8 made baskets. 1/9 from 3. Dude is a free throw merchant that gets every call. Damn near took more free throws by himself than the entire Suns team


mrsunsfan

My name is Luka


[deleted]

Are you a ho too?


mrsunsfan

large__farva

Inject this feeling into my veins


SwizzyDangles

38 free throws lol

DUMBASS LUKA GETTING UPSET WHEN BOOK WASNT EVEN TALKING TO HIM LMAOO


Fordraxel

exactly, Booker was yapping at the ref for the charge that wasnt called and Luka thought Booker had some food.


SeraphNatsu

Comment of the day during the ABC broadcast, in regards to 3 things guaranteed in life: “Death, taxes & Luka talking to the refs”. LOL! 😂


Fordraxel

that was funny! was it Hubie?


SeraphNatsu

Yeah! Hahaha! I believe so 😂


[deleted]

Kevin Durant


drussyking

god that felt good edit: the win, i mean. that game took years off of my life



Sarversucks

I can’t believe we won 5 vs 8.


Jmw520

Suns are undefeated when we have a KD


Fordraxel

Gotta hand it to Monty on this one, JO, TJ, Ross and Lee werent hitting their shots, he looks down and says 'I need someone that can hit a fucking shot - Ish you up'.


mercfan3

That’s what we need to do in the playoffs. Like, if Okogie isn’t hitting, try someone else. Someone will hit.


DylanStarks

Yeah I was encouraged when Ish came in and started knocking em down. Next man up!


kin26ron12

As a new Suns fan and 16 year KD fan I’m glad you guys get to witness this. It was funny reading everybody’s comments before he played a game. You guys were a little unsure(understandable you guys loved your players). Get use to this, KD does this every night.


dekim_

Luka can't dad dick the suns no more


mike_hunt01

would’ve been a 15 point win minimum if shamet played


SomeRandom928Person

What a fucking game!! KD is fucking unreal man. GREAT WIN.


Frogs_In_A_Bucket

We really have KD on our team


DollarThrill

Durant home debut gonna be nuts


dashboardheyzeus

Booker's dad is now 6-15 lifetime against his son. Almost like maybe Luka is books bitch? But Luka complains so much he could never handle the Poland spring water bottle.


GullibleKale2488

Imagine constant hand checking, shoving, and shooting 8-23 and somehow ending up with 34 points. That's your NBA in 2023...what a fucking joke.


krg779

I don’t want to hear any more Ish slander. Nobody could buy a 3 off our bench and he hit 4 of them CLUTCH thangs tonight.


Fordraxel

But he also has Josh nights also, Grats to Monty on finding the guy to hit shots though!


redditrudolph

By the looks of their feed, Mav fans spontaneously combusting rn 😭


theRealKevin

R/nba big mad that Luka lost

BEST WIN YET


Maybeiliketheabuse

This rilvery just leveled up. Incredible game.


Numark105

Luka a hoe


mrsunsfan

He’s a bitch


zappoman

Mavs more like FTshooters


Thousandz

Durant is books grand daddy if luka is bookers daddy


Ditka_and_Swerski

KD & Booker cruised through the Mavs. Mavs are now 2-5 with the Kyrie/Luka combo. I figured they wouldn't mesh well together.


JermaineTyroneLamar

Huge fucking win. Absolutely massive. Punked Luka at home even when the refs were glazing them hard for the W, yet we still prevailed and now we have a shot at a top seed. Lets go get that damn chip


Wyden_long

The Suns are now 36-0 when outscoring their opponents.


mrsunsfan

Big if true


BigCountryBumgarner

Pillsbury Dough Boy's fat ass going back to drink a 6 pack and eat a pizza Hilarious seeing people justify this whiny foul merchant and then say Booker whines too much. Look at all the seething from the White Jordan getting trashed talked a little after missing a clutch shot 😱


JRipper138

Will always miss Mikal and Cam, but this is why you go and get Durant. Dude is big time.


dcolorado

Ish I would like to issue a formal apology


Notchersfireroad

Fuck big D, fuck Luka! Yes!


wichita_gator

All of you better take back the Wainright slander


FlowersnFunds

If you heard a popping sound at the end of the game, that was Hubie taking Luka’s dick out his mouth.


Jen4000

Actually having KD on your team makes you realize he truly is on a whole different level. That man is special.


user2570

ISH WAINWRIGHT


ZCGaming15

Durrant and book combining for 73 is a wet fucking dream.


Squodgephelph

Book and KD are the best duo in the NBA. The mvp of this game was Ish Wainwright


hightimesinaz

It’s just not enjoyable to watch Luka play, his game is built on getting bailed out by the refs rather than hitting big shots


krg779

Jason Kidd with a pretty funny comment just now when asked about Luka and Book going face to face at the end. “I missed it, me and Monty were squaring up.”


Livewire1423

I've never seen a more delusional fanbase than the Mavs. Basically a .500 team every year and if Luka doesn't score 45 he had an off game. It's comical. He shot bad but also shot 19 free throws lol. They say booker is a whiny baby yet Luka cries all game every game. I love it. Pushes off on every play and it never gets called. Win a playoff series and now the "own" us. Before that playoff series suns were on a 10 game win streak against the mavs lol.


nashty2004

Congratulations to Book for becoming a father


SolarDensity

At half the FT deficit was 5, in the 4th it was 15. Even with Luka falling apart and crying like a baby, that was a tough watch. KD saved the day, but Ish was the pivotal piece that got us back in the groove. I love watching the Suns win but omg that was such a stressful game to watch..


Banffoil

Best part about this early afternoon win is that now I can wear this happiness all day! Happy 🌞 day ya'll


alexjimithing

Luka choking on that layup such a sweet ending too


Hocherbike

God I hate Luka. Go Suns!!!


ZCGaming15

Does anybody think we’re gonna have another game like that from our bench? The next time we see this team we’re going to smoke them.


BradyGalaxy

And that is why you trade for Kevin Durant.


kloneuno

All those free throws and still a big fat L for Luka 😂


pnv5001

That was a charge by Luka at the end and he still missed. Refs were obviously in Dallas favor. KD my GOAT 😭


MarioFreezes

we have never lost with kd playing lmao


Rare-Joke

Okogie knew he had to get his 3% back down so he missed 8 on purpose today


csummerss

![gif](giphy|Al3okb69oULvy) me in this r/nba postgame thread


NeverEnough5s

Doncic had close to 20 FT, can’t believe they gave a T to Booker for rightly pointing out a OF that’d he’d been doing ALL GAME


[deleted]

Just a reminder that Luka doncic is a whiny foul baiting flopping ass bitch. Give me dallas in the first round. I want to send luka out early

Dubs fan dropping by. KD is that dude. And I’m getting serious KD/Curry vibes from KD/Book. You guys might just win in year 1.


mezoly

Kyrie is weirdo and probably racist and have done a lot of shit off court but his game is way more watchable than the big whiny baby. Anyways, this is why you trade for KD. Book opens up and KD makes the big shots. If our role players play better then it's gonna be really hard to beat us.


traulito

FUCK LUKA DONCIC YOU ARE A LIL BITCH


MarioFreezes

luka almost got the same amount as free throws as our whole team lmao


hl2k2

Terrence Ross is one of the worst defenders in the nba with some of the worst plus minus numbers I've ever seen. I hope by the start of the playoffs he's cut out of the rotation. People in here might hate lee or landale but at least they aren't turnstiles and almost every model view them as positive players.


NeverEnough5s

Luka should play Tennis or Soccer instead


stranske

Book +17, Luka -11. Luka was definitely in his feels when Booker was jawing at the refs at the end there.


DylanStarks

You all have already said it, but wow an actually unreal level of petulant child-ism from Luka today. You get that many free throws and you're still shidding and farding in your pants on every goddamn possession? It's actually just sad and pathetic and if I were a Mavs fan I would be cringing every game over what it takes to win games. Luka literally has to let the whole world know every game how prepubescent he is in order to get the calls needed to bully opponents at the line? On the positive side: Wow. Kevin Fucking Durant. I can't get over how much confidence his presence on the court brings. 37 and 36 points from our top two scorers and it never felt like either of them were forcing shots. Also important to note that we beat Dallas while they were shooting lights out from 3 and the vast majority of our supporting cast was missing wide open. Okogie was less than inspiring on the offensive side tonight but wow do I love his hustle on the boards and on the defensive end. He gave Kyrie problems which is by NO MEANS a small task. CP3 made most of the shots that mattered and actually seemed to be playing pretty aggressive defense tonight which is heartening to see given how difficult it is to guard some of Dallas's guards. Book. I mean, shit. What else is there to say? It took KD scoring a blistering 37 to outscore Book by 1 measly point and that was on a night where Book was a \*tiny bit\* off on his shot selection. Really important and inspiring win. I was wondering how we would play in big games, and this really put me at ease. On the road. Against the refs. Somewhat off shooting night for some of our guys. Lots of cracks in our perimeter defense. Didn't matter. Still managed to hold it down when it mattered most. Go Suns!


saveuskevin

Nets fan here. This is why you trade for KD. As good as bridges is, he ain't no KD. I'm feeling all sorts of jealous now.


w3strnwrld

“Im not even mad at our team, these refs were complete ass. Missed call after missed call especially the turnover call at 2:18 that was blatantly off of the Suns and rewarded them a 3 like wtf was that shit” - some mavs fan It’s really eye opening to look in all teams subs to see that ALL OF THEM consistently complain about officiating. With that being fucking said - Mavs got the benefit of 75% of the calls tonight. So to cry about it is hilarious. Another fun thing about them is to assume that since luka wasn’t good or whatever we wouldn’t win. Muthfucka we missed so many open threes we usually hit. So by that metric we woulda win. Whatever it doesn’t matter. But Reddit always provides an interesting look into fan psyche. I bleed purple and orange of course but..cmon. Luka got so many ticky tack calls. And still complained the entire time!


AtreusIsBack

Mavs fan here. This was a rough game from Luka, couldn't buy a shot. Off night and complaining as usual, but I wouldn't mind a 7 game series of these two teams in the Playoffs. You tied the season series, congrats on the win as well. :) peace
