more about the Mavericks or the Clippers? And BTW, when I say the Mavs are playing awful I should specify that they're playing awful offensively. Their defense has been savage. Someone on here posted a few weeks ago that their defense had been fire but I can't remember who it was...as for the Clippers, man there's just something off with that team. I don't know what it is.

I think the Mavs offense been effected by the length that LAC has. Luka has been shooting poorly. Kyrie hasn't been doing anything til late in games, which is kind of his closer role, but it don't matter if they're way behind like in game 1. Haven't been getting shooting from Green/Hardaway/Kleber. Exum has basically disappeared. Until last night the bigs were completely ineffective. Games 3 there was a lot less Kleber and a lot more Gafford who got beat up a bit in both games 1 and 2 and it showed for Dallas both offensively and defensively.

As far as LAC, they looked much more comfortable playing fast without Kawhi in game 1. All of a sudden they're slowing the game down for him and giving him touches to play iso ball...taking touches away from Harden, who has cooked Dallas in every game, and George.

I think today is the series….if the Mavs win and go up 3-1 it’s probably a wrap. On the other hand, if the Clippers win and seize home court advantage back, I think it will be their series to lose.

This series ended the moment Russel Westbrook tried to act like a big man thug. No Kawhi today. It’s going to be an uphill battle for LA. Luka has yet to shoot well. If he starts hitting shots, this series ends in 5 games.

Wrong. The Mavs are being run out of their own gym. The Clippers are going to win this game and the next two. Inexcusable for Dallas to look this bad, especially at home. The critics were right. Luka and the Mavs are still soft losers.

You’re wrong. Mavericks are winning this series still. Clippers are hitting contested 3’s at a ridiculous clip. Officials also let the Clippers do whatever they want, and call touch fouls on the Mavs.

Are you big mad or little mad?

I’m not mad at all. Just disappointed. Really want the Mavs to win…they’ve made a run but still aren’t winning this game. BTW, why would I be mad?

ETA: Also, (and this is not on the Mavericks,) once I saw the refs were going to allow the Clippers, and specifically Mann, to prison rape Luka with impunity, I knew it was going to be a long day…

I didn’t know if you were rooting for the Mavericks or not, my apologies. They came out very flat, but Clippers were hitting some wild 3’s. This game is insane. Would tie for the biggest playoff comeback of all time, if Mavericks can win.
