I get he needs rest, but not that early in the first quarter. There was what 5 or 6 minutes left???

[SMC0007]

Kp missed a few help assignments and Rick told him about it. He has to sure that up.

Clipps got some tough shots to fall.

How can you bitch about Rick while watching Ty Lue try to coach a team?

He has been coming out around the 5 or 6 mark in the first most times.

[JTmoney2424]

Just imagine how great Luca would be if he could shoot free throws better

Lue not being a good coach or not is irrelevant to RC pulling his best player and killing momentum

I get that but sometimes you just ride the wave and adjust.

He did in the first two games? I honestly don’t remember

Or sometimes not and you win a title with subbing out Dirk the same way

Resulting is fun, isn't it?

[Grady Wilson]

Porzingis has to step up

[Grady Wilson]

George can’t miss

4th quarter he won’t hit a shot

No kidding man. Come on dude.

[MFFL]

I would really like it if the announcer was SLIGHTLY less of a Clipper homer

Waiting for this to come to fruition

It’s amazing how people like you really seem surprised that people would question that decision. How dare someone question RC...

[NeedlesKane]

FIRE CARLISLE! I am so pissed right now. Resting Luka too early.

Wasn’t Dirk also 33 years old?

I don’t think Luka needs the same rest

[Grady Wilson]

Clippers shooting 66%????

Agreed. Please coach Mavs instead of Jim Carrey. He's just not a good fit.

[SMC0007]

Man, Willie is getting some great experience

[Stylistic]

No Finney-Smith. You should not be taking that shot.

[Grady Wilson]

KP has really sucked overall first two and a half games

[SMC0007]

Tim is the worst at sagging off his man leaving him open for 3. There's no reason to help on Rondo at the top of the key.

MAX.

[BPo001]

He had 20 points on 8-12 shooting last game. I mean that’s not terrible?

[rimrocker]

Need a defensive 3rd like we had in G2.

[rimrocker]

Who steps up in the 3rd to help Luka?
My guess is THJ.

[Grady Wilson]

The Good: 19 Point Lead
The Really Good: Luka
The Bad: Blowing 19 Point Lead
The Really Bad: Porzingis
The Ugly: Clippers shooting 60.5%
The Fugly: Leonard and George with 40 combined points

Agreed. Expected much more tonight. Luca is basically carrying the team tonight.

[rimrocker]

JRich's lack of any impact is a problem.

The fact that lead went away quickly was the biggest concern.

Agreed... while he only has 4 points, I think both baskets came at pretty critical times to help at least slow their momentum. I know at least one did.

It was definitely a big concern. I know big leads can disappear in an NBA game, but not that quickly and certainly not in a playoff game.

[rimrocker]

We got a series.

[rimrocker]

Shots are back but now we need D

[BPo001]

That was just a dumb foul

[Grady Wilson]

Luka shouldn't have left his feet. Somewhat questionable call, but had he stayed on the floor that shot was not going in under any circumstance.
