As big as his positive plays have been, the fact that the defensive didn't disappear is just as big.

This stat line by Luka tonight... loving it!

And KP should have said fuck it and took that shot himself despite Timmy being open

The Clippers are running THJ off the 3 point line. They are letting him drive and THJ can’t finish

[FreshJive]

Timmah

[turin]

If it weren't for Jackson, the Clippers would be down 20+

[Melonhead]

Worrisome 5 on the floor to start the fourth

[DIRK LEGIONS]

Horrible start to 4q

[Melonhead]

Jesus

[Melonhead]

What is this starting 5 unit.

Yeah, makes me nervous, too.

[DIRK LEGIONS]

Time out rc get LUKA back in asap

[Melonhead]

I’m gonna lose it

[Melonhead]

This game is squarely RCs fault if this lead is blown

[turin]

I wish RC would go back to Boban, KP

[MFFL]

Thankfully Carlisle realizes the Mavs stink without Luka and put him back on the court

[Stylistic]

Get Richardson off the floor and do so quickly

He's going back to what he's comfortable with. :-O

[JTmoney2424]

It’s a shame this team can’t even get off a decent shot without Luca on the floor

Ricks fault that Luka and Powell are the only 2 players to show up today?

[Stylistic]

We already have 3 team fouls against us. Do not like that.

[JTmoney2424]

Why are they chasing Rondo off the 3Pt line??

His name is L U K A. There is no “C” in his name.

That he would seriously try and put that starting 5 to start the fourth

[billkurt]

The lead vanished like water evaporating as soon as Luka sat down, man is a one man army

RC is playing with fire leaving this 5 in.

Close with the 5 you started with!!

[DIRK LEGIONS]

Refs calling everything for clippers
Mav goes in lane no call

[BPo001]

PG going to keep driving and force the refs to blow the whistle

[Melonhead]

Is that four team fouls???

I hope I’m wrong

[DIRK LEGIONS]

This game is turning right now if mavs cant make a shot

[turin]

Thank heaven's RC went back with the starting 5. Nice to see some paint defense.

They been doing that shot all series and then he blows by them

I'd rather take my chances with him shooting 3's

[Fuzz]

I feel like KP was really active defensively when he was at the 5 when Powell and Luka tore it up. I like that.

[Melonhead]

Need 10 more from Luka

[MFFL]

Can ANYONE make a shot?

[Melonhead]

Refs fucking us

[JTmoney2424]

Luca needs to shoot the damn ball. Quit relying on these garbage role players to hit shots

[Dallas41]

Mann is the exact reason why Green should have got time this year

[Melonhead]

I like the challenge just to slow the game down. Should reverse but I don’t expect

Edit: lol looking at flagrant what a joke

[BPo001]

That’s a no call. He literally caught the ball and turned toward the hoop?
