2024 Playoffs Rd 1 Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers

[Dallas41]

That ankle injury to Timmy might be a blessing in disguise for dallas

[JTmoney2424]

THJ getting hurt may give Hardy his chance now.

Don't settle for 3's and attack zubac to get him in foul trouble

Exum dude

[Melonhead]

Refs are letting players maul Kyrie

[Melonhead]

Mann is holding his hip and pushing him over lol

[Dallas41]

Sometimes I wish Luka would value the possession more

He tries passes that aren't necessary

[SMC0007]

We just arent going to get calls. Mann fouls on the majority of possessions vs anyone. Refs exoect us to play through contact, but they blow horseshit calls for them

Seems like almost every one of his turnovers turns into clipper points too

[Melonhead]

Luka offensively has made such horrible decisions.

Great defensively though

[JTmoney2424]

Doncic is literally playing like an idiot with these constant turnovers and terrible decisions. 0 reason that last possession turned into a heave when he could have drove it for a layup or at least gotten fouled. Mavs should be up by 15+ with how awful the Clips are shooting.

[Dallas41]

Man Luka is starting to drive me crazy

Just attack the damn basket geez

Exactly

I don't understand why he didn't just let kyrie keep cooking

He had a terrible pass then followed that up to close out the half with two piss poor 3 point attempts

I hate to keep comparing the two but Luka should be more efficient like jokic. His shot selection at times is terrible and he'll try to make a highlight reel passes without any concerns to game situation

[blessednegr0]

If we come out and play a 2nd half like we did last game, we will be ok.

The calls are definitely in question for this game. Harden can donkey kick his leg out last game and get 3 free throws. PG hits THJ on a pull up 3 and nothing and actually gets injured. They have to call this fair.

We should not be using any other centers other than Gafford/Lively. Stop fucking around Kidd.

[SMC0007]

Luka shitting the bed the last few possessions. Good god.

Lively turning the ball over when he was in perfect position to get a foul or at least put pressure on him.

Way too many tunovers. The clips are going to shoot it better 2nd half and we will have to fight momentum and a crowd with a tiny lead that shoukd be 15pts

We just dont get a fair shake from refs. I hate complaining about it but its impossible to ignore, especially when the stakes are high.

[EricaLubarsky]

When will Luka stop jacking threes like he?s Steph.

33% in the playoffs and 25% tonight

[EricaLubarsky]

This is unwatchable. It?s like we have no coach. Just miss after miss and TO after TO

Clips are playing like shit and this is their chance but we can only turn it over or Jack threes

[JTmoney2424]

Jones with 2 awful turnovers.

[Melonhead]

Refs are letting everyone but harden get destroyed.

It?s no wonder no one is scoring offense keeps getting fouled with no call

It?s hard to judge that second half because you could also say clippers coasted

And yeah lively gaff or PJ.

Agreed. The guy has all the talent in the world but makes some really bad decisions sometimes. It?s one thing to take chances if you?re up by 20 but some of these are literally giving away possessions and hard to get away with that in the playoffs.

Noticed the same thing. He?s literally the only one on both sides getting this treatment

[Melonhead]

1 on 4 prob not best idea Kyrie

[EricaLubarsky]

Man i was hoping when we got to 7 we?d put it together

[JTmoney2424]

Why in the world is Josh Green taking shots???

[Melonhead]

Kidd you fucking idiot

[EricaLubarsky]

Fuck there goes the lead

Mavs jacked shots and unforced TO are giving them the momentum on a bad shooting night

[Melonhead]

This game is not looking good.

[JTmoney2424]

PJ continues to miss east shots at the rim?.

[Melonhead]

Went from potential 8 point lead down to 3.

PJ what the fuck man

[Melonhead]

I guess the clippers are that team. They?ve made the Mavs look pedestrian af on offense

[EricaLubarsky]

7-0 run
Now a 5+-0 run

[JTmoney2424]

Memo to Luka, you miss a shot, get the hell back on defense

[Melonhead]

Luka has been so trash man.

[EricaLubarsky]

Gafford with the Powel stat line of one rebound

[EricaLubarsky]

Two 7-0 runs in a single quarter. We still feeling good about Kidd?

[SMC0007]

Djj for fvcks sake and these refs.

[EricaLubarsky]

Yeah Luka?s attitude and total lack of leadership is losing us everything

Frustrate him a little and he?ll cry, fake injuries, and totally fail to get back on defense while jacking shots to give the momentum away

I guess he didn?t really mature. They were just winning. When it gets tight he?s reverting back to whiny towards the bench and teammates
