Series Thread: 1st Round: LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks

[wildturkey]

Two points:

1) I think Carlisle has messed up not putting Boban back into the game. The Clippers are much more energized and have gotten back into the game without a big on the floor. Their small line up is much more effective without having to worry about Boban

2) Minor point but it can matter; Luka is stupidly not picking the ball up on the in bounds which means the game clock isn't starting. You're in the lead! You should be wasting time, not saving it. He's done it so much that there's probably about 10 seconds more time left in the game than it should be

Im gonna go all barkley here and predict the winner of this game wins the series.

GREAT D by LA there. PG can still defend.

 

[gohusk]

Horrible shot.

Mavs are a fun team but man do they struggle to close out games.

 

[Robotech]

Mavs should've gone for a 2 for 1.

Last shot....dribble until 6 seconds left. Pass to Lou near the 3 pt line. Dribble dribble long two brick. Yuck.

Definitely not over. But I feel like Dallas missed their chance. Clips humming now going into OT.

Dallas has gagged this game away. They had it. They might still win in OT, but they have got to change the way they are playing. In the final 5 minutes of the game, they basically stopped running offense. It was just Luka bulldozing his way into things. And like I mentioned earlier, I think a good chunk of that is not having Boban out there (this is also why Porzingis needs to be playing. His knee better be messed up for real and not some "being careful" stuff). The Clippers are just switching everything and snuffing out anything Dallas tries

Kawhi locking down Luka

That really tall guy on Dallas kinda looks like a troll...

Yeah it has turned way too much into ISO ball.

Meanwhile Kawhi is abusing them in the 1 on 1 stop and pops.

Still got a shot tho

Needed Seth Curry to revitalize his career.

Finally a nice bucket from PG

Seth Curry is like the bootleg steph curry

Luka gotta stop chucking.

Lou Williams brought the juice today

 

[msgkings322]

Lou Williams is almost unstoppable on O when he gets like this
