GDT: Round 1, game 1 - Mavs (0-0) at Clippers (0-0) 8:00pm ESPN - Page 5 - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

We have no answer to George and Leonard driving the lane without Boban in the game.

mac222b · 08-17-2020, 10:28 PM

Burke has missed a few makeable shots

Dallas41 · 08-17-2020, 10:28 PM

I know I shouldn't say this but I feel like the mavs got robbed this game with KP getting ejected

That would have never happened if it was LBJ or Anthony Davis the refs would have been more lenient

He has but I like his aggressiveness. He's giving it 110% out there.

NeedlesKane · 08-17-2020, 10:29 PM

have not actually left... I want to see my Mavs win!

Lol, they're actually doing a way better job of contesting without Boban in the game.

Normally that wouldn't even happen with a player of Kp's caliber. I don't know what happened there. I don't know if they forgot how many tech's he had or what.

LBJ tweeted it was bogus. Several high profile fans and players/former players have spoken out. Basically any NBA fan who isn't a Clippers fan is super upset with this game now.

Don't worry though... NBA will announce tomorrow at 8am that they are rescinding the tech on KP. Because they are predictable as hell.

He has played hard and good defense I agree

Yeah, Burke has been a bright spot tonight. I hope he's ok.

KillerLeft · 08-17-2020, 10:35 PM

Even Burke catching that pass, keeping the dribble and running a play with that pain was impressive, tbh.

BPo001 · 08-17-2020, 10:36 PM

Bad shot by Curry there on the fast break.

KillerLeft · 08-17-2020, 10:36 PM

Didn't like that Curry shot.

BPo001 · 08-17-2020, 10:37 PM

Luka sets the record for most points in a playoff debut.

BPo001 · 08-17-2020, 10:37 PM

PG with the dagger.

rimrocker · 08-17-2020, 10:37 PM

We need 3s now.

mac222b · 08-17-2020, 10:38 PM

Hardaway and Curry go rogue back to back possessions when Luka is cooking

rimrocker · 08-17-2020, 10:39 PM

Well we made it interesting for 47 mins and 18 seconds.

Luka was clearly pissed off, and rightfully so tbh

Melonhead · 08-17-2020, 10:39 PM

This game was never in doubt once KP was ejected. Clippers even stopped playing the 3rd. They knew they could finish it off whenever they felt.

sefant77 · 08-17-2020, 10:40 PM

what a great reminder that the NBA is THE sport in the world where the refs just fuck it up regulary

rimrocker · 08-17-2020, 10:40 PM

We're making 2s and they're making 3s.

At the end of the day the Mavs were never going to stop them. Game was definitely in doubt with KP out there.

rimrocker · 08-17-2020, 10:45 PM

I don't recall seeing Wright in the 2nd half, is he out of the rotation now?

Im 99% sure he is gone by the next trade deadline

MFFL · 08-17-2020, 10:46 PM

KP should have been more careful after he got there first tech though

Let's hope!

That's true, but it doesn't all the blame off of the refs/league. BS calls, especially the first one.

Can you elaborate on why you think "the Mavs were never going to stop them?"

I personally think it's a different game entirely with KP out there.

DevinHarriswillstart · 08-17-2020, 10:52 PM

Love that pic of Morris with his hand on KP's neck, but hey, refs. I really have kept my mouth shut about them lately, but it doesn't do any good if they throw your second best player out.

ozmavs123 · 08-17-2020, 10:55 PM

Tech 1

Tech 2

Yes eject him for reacting to these

Agree, the call was BS but KP and Luka will need to learn to focus on the game and manage their emotions as they mature in the POs.

Luka setup that situation by overreacting to Morris.

I want KP coming to Luka’s aid every time.

@kevinlove
...you can’t eject him Kristaps for that. Protecting the Mavs best player. That’s bad.

Bryan_Wilson · 08-17-2020, 10:57 PM

Well it's gonna take a bit to get over this one. Not because I thought we could win the series realistically... always a 3 ball shooters chance but Clippers are better. They didn't really play well tonight... but the NBA fan in me is super pissed because if we win this we could have made it a competitive series.

Whole goal as an underdog is to steal one "on the road" and this was the one to steal.

The league really needs to relax a bit. How can you expect players to not show emotion? It’s the playoffs. I understand they had to call the tech on KP after PG got one earlier for the same thing, but the PG tech was BS too IMO.

BPo001 · 08-17-2020, 11:00 PM

21-24 from the FT line is great. 21 turnovers isn’t.

Exactly my sentiments. Terrible decision to call a second tech on Kristaps right there.

Looks like Burke took his minutes.

Even Lebron said it was BS. The NBA is a joke.

EricaLubarsky · 08-17-2020, 11:07 PM

Why do tall European guys get so screwed by refs?

First Dirk. Now KP gets robbed game after game. It’s sickening.
