Dirk Shines While Suns Fall Short
Summary
I was going to discuss how the experts expected everyone to back the Suns with +7 points because the smart money was on the Mavericks. Here's what happened instead.Dirk's Dominance and Suns' Struggles
This spring, I've been repeatedly let down by the Suns in their matchups against the Lakers, Clippers, and Mavericks, leading me to stop betting on this series.
Midway through the third quarter last night, Tim Thomas was showcasing his skills, and the Suns' fast-paced strategy was working well for their often-complaining coach, Mike D'Antoni. But soon, the momentum shifted due to fatigue.
The stars of both teams, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash?"once teammates and best friends?"took turns having standout performances. Last night's game belonged to Nowitzki, who scored an impressive 50 points on 14-26 shooting, including 5-6 from three-point range, and nailed 17-18 free throws.
On the other hand, Steve Nash, visibly worn out by the game's end, managed 20 points, but his 5-17 shooting and reliance on free throws painted a misleading picture.
Previously, I noted the Suns' growing reputation as complainers and suggested D'Antoni ease up on the referees. During a critical moment in the fourth quarter, Raja Bell's needless foul led to technicals for both him and his coach. Dirk made the most of it, sinking two free throws and a jumper, a decisive four-point play.
Despite the odds favoring Phoenix slightly at -1 for the next game, I'll be steering clear. The Vegas odds makers are banking on sentimental bets for Nash and his team, but the savvy money remains with the Mavericks.
