2024 Playoffs Rd 1 Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers

[Melonhead]

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.

[SMC0007]

Impossible for me to imagine Luka not playing.

yeah unless they downgrade him to doubtful i'd imagine he'd play even if he's not 100%

[EricaLubarsky]

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

Kawhi out. That's a big blow for them.

No its not

[DevinHarriswillstart]

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.

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.

[blessednegr0]

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

[SMC0007]

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.

[EricaLubarsky]

As if there was any doubt, Luka is playing

[LukaMagic]

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.

0% shooting, 0% from three, and two TOs

Mavs up 2-0

*thumbs up* (No stream yet).

Turnovers: what kind?

[BPo001]

2 quick fouls on Luka

[LukaMagic]

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.

[NeedlesKane]

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

[JTmoney2424]

Officials taking over this game with numerous bad calls both ways?

[Melonhead]

This game has game 1 feel all over it.

And refs are making sure Mavs don?t get any traction.

It's evening in my time zone. 10:20 pm. So I drink beer with the game. Usually I don't.

Either you?re about to drink a lot of beer, or it?s going to be an early bedtime.

[Melonhead]

Refs are absolutely making sure

[LukaMagic]

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

[JTmoney2424]

Memo to Green, you?re wide open for a reason

[Melonhead]

Yeah game 1 all over again. If Luka isn?t scoring no one can.

[JTmoney2424]

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.

[SMC0007]

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

[BPo001]

Awful start

[JTmoney2424]

Exum has been dreadful shooting the ball all series

[Melonhead]

God man what the fuck

[BPo001]

What a fucking push off by PG. No call

[Melonhead]

Yeah it?s over.

[BPo001]

Well fuck.

[Melonhead]

At least there?s an extra day until game 5

[Dallas41]

Defensive intensity for the mavs is terrible right now

Seems like early games they just don't show up for...

[LukaMagic]

PG stepping up.

[NeedlesKane]

This game is rigged by the league. Blatantly clear.
