Mavs won't win, Cuban has publicly said they're losing on purpose. Suns fans are going to hate you because you jinxed it.

Westbrook on Pachulia falling into his leg: “Don’t ask me a dumb question. Obviously it was intentional.”
If Green smacked Clint over the head like he did Melo during that block, I would've been extremely pissed.
they have a pretty high ceiling...they’re still the most dangerous team out of the Spurs, Wolves, Blazers, Nuggets, Jazz, and Clippers with Kawhi out...the Rockets would still handle them in 5 tho
They didn’t intentionally foul the way Zaza does. If you go for a layup you get smacked that was understood
Both Green and Zaza did something dirty on purpose, no question. Subtle extensions or landings of a body part on another - full body on leg or arm / hand on head - are still dirty. It’s part of the trick bag, don’t be dumb and think it always has to “look intentional “. Taking advantage of the situation is a dirty trick too.
Watched a Bill Laimbeer's dirty play compilation the other day, to me those are much worse than Zaza's dirty plays. Laimbeer used his elbow, knee, and fist blatantly, Zaza at least has to pretend that he is not hurting people intentionally because otherwise he will definitely be suspended or even kicked out of the league. Zaza is like a weaker version of Bruce Bowen, inherited one of Bowen's famous moves(not all of them, at least I haven't seen Zaza kick a jump shooter right on his face like Bowen did to Szczerbiak, or knee down a player like Bowen did to Chris Paul). The league has become less and less tolerant about these dirty plays, and it's a very good change.
