Worried about the early game, but I can't find much evidence for it. 4-2 in the regular season and one of the two losses was when we pulled all of our starters and some of our bench.
0-1 in the playoffs, but we just had a rough 20min (-24) and outscored them by 12 in the remaining 28min. Just hoping that that rough start was jitters/playoff hangover and not normal for this team going forward. If we got outscored by 5-10 in those minutes, we'd be 3-0 right now.

I want to hear Luka say, ?That was soft? or comments like that every time Westbrook fouls him. I?m tired of that punk and think it?d be funny if Luka got into his head like that.

I dont love that it's an early game, but home crowd has been great and its the fn playoffs. If you arent ready and motivated to go up 3-1, then what are you?

Luka is questionable for game 4.

Yeah, that sucks, but we've seen that before.
If he doesn't play though, then the series is in serious doubt.

It helps that it?s at home so maybe someone else can get it going offensively if Luka is hobbled.
We need a 3 onslaught.

Kawhi is downgraded to out. The pressure of defending Luka was too much for him.

Kawhi out might actually be better for them. Ugh, I still dread Sunday afternoon games. This team better not come out soft in the first quarter.

Kawhi or no Kawhi. Let's get this dub.

They will be better without this version of Kawhi, at least on offense. He made some bad plays and missed open guys numerous times.
Healthy dose of Harden and Zubac incoming.

I thought the same thing. Might be better to have a hobbled Kawhi out there from the Mavs standpoint. Put your foot on their throat early and don?t let up.

Dude is even pulling out a jab dribble crossover, stepback 3 now?
is he as good as gone? Do we have any way to get him a contract that he'll stay for?
he's only 27 and has shown that he plays well with what we have here. would be nice to run it back with some consistency in our top 8 and he's definitely been one of those guys. we all hope OMAX will take a step next year but not having to rush him into it would be wonderful.

I've said all year DJJ is the most underrated player on this team
He's fearless on both ends of the floor.
I hope the mavs can resign him but if they get really deep in the playoffs dude is going to earn a nice contract and well deserved

Ok. But you should do this same analysis for the Clippers too. Do they have early games? How does it work for them? Does this make it easier or harder ON THEM. They play an away game. Is there a time difference? How does it factor in?

Knicks look like they will eliminate Philadelphia. That was A FANTASTIC trade for Brunson.
AND FOR DALLAS TOO !!!!
Cuban figured he needs somebody better and different than Brunson. KYRIE is certainly that.

Brunson is the best players the Knicks have had in 20 years.

PJ is PIPPEN-LIKE. That's his POTENTIAL to work on. Can shoot, can defend, can run fast breaks, can dunk. Can do many things like that. Can score a lot. Has a great chip-floater. That's his go-to inside move.

I missed the fouls. Were they really fouls, or is the league trying to help the Clippers win?

This game has game 1 feel all over it.
And refs are making sure Mavs don?t get any traction.

That was NOT a foul on Harden. Harden does THE SAME THING ON LUKA ALL THE TIME.

Even with the officials literally taking over this game, should still be a tie game if the Mavs can hit wide open shots. 5 of these 3s are literally wide open and uncontested. Have to knock some of them down because Clips are literally giving these to you.

Refs are evening this series heading back to LA. Challenges should actually provide accountability.
