    Great timeouts by Ty Lue. Let Zu get his early. Fantastic game!

  4. EvenRobotsNeedTango

    I WOKE UP 3AM FOR THIS WIN!!! LFGGGGGG!!!

  11. LilTurnippman

    FUCK RICHARD JEFFERSON, FUCK SAS, AND FUCK THE MAVS

  14. pinya619

    A few years ago if you told me Paul George, Westbrook, and James Harden on a team would’ve dominated the mavericks I absolutely would’ve believed you

  15. BurghFinsFan

    So proud of this team today. I hope the chubby guy has a playoff chubby.

  16. Function_Fighter

    Media: Mavs found something after game 1.

  17. tvztvz

    When the Clippers get the W, I get a little chubby dude let’s fucking gooooooo!!!!

  18. SweetLilMonkey

    #WHEN THE CLIPS BEAT THE MAVS IN A PLAYOFFS GAME I GET A MASSIVE HARD-ON DUDE

  20. TaigaGulo

    Wasn’t as close as the score suggests lmao. Huge game from Zu and Harden

  22. alwaysneverjoshin

    Oh shit, I’m going to spend all day collecting receipts lmao

  23. jyas

    CONGRATS ON YOUR REGULAR SEASON RUN. JUST ONE THING — THIS ISN’T FUCKING SACRAMENTO AND CHARLOTTE ANYMORE.

  24. GodsGift2HotWomen365

    Don’t say Luka didn’t get help, Mavs lurkers

    His teammates helped him build a brick house, just following his lead

  25. WhyAmIAFanOfThisTeam

    Why didn’t the superteam Mavs and “best player in the world” Luka Doncic just simply beat a Clippers team without Kawhi Leonard? Are they stupid?

  27. No-Inspection8910

    i wanne take the moment to have 1minute silence to everyone who said Zubac would get coocked this series..

  28. ayeno

    Refs did their best with their FT game, but we were able to defeat them too

  29. es84

    People on this sub said Zu would be played off the court. Please reply here and admit you were flat wrong.

  30. ThaEternalLearner

    Zubac balled out. He was the MVP to me. Mann’s defense and rebounding were critical. It’s too bad Mann won’t play in the 4th quarter once Kawhi gets back.

  31. justlookingaround

    What’s up with refs taking over Clipper 4th quarters and making them unwatchable? That’s the 3rd or 4th game like that in our last 5. So annoying

  34. madsharps

    Praise the Lord…. No PJ Tucker mins today.
    Fantastic W. My heart is full of joy.

  35. Upset_Purchase_5903

    “The team that loses has the advantage”
    -Richard Jefferson

    Uhhh Id say the team that still has a 2-time Finals MVP on the bench and still is up 1-0 has the advantage buddy 😂

    WE GOT DAWGS 🔥🔥🔥

  36. Reasonable_Bed7858

    NBA ain’t even trying to be subtle anymore. Lmao fuck em. Clips in 4.

  38. nuhx

    Mavs with ref assistance stat padded a bit in the second half to make it look like a close game and give Kyrie and Luka their stat lines.

    Dominant win and the defense is legit if the refs allow physical play. The Mavs players are soft and can’t handle it.
    Offense needs work and relied to much on individual shot making.

  39. LLUrDadsFave

    Am I delusional or did y’all see what I just saw? We are deeper.

  40. watdapau

    Great coaching by Ty overall.

    Love how he trusted Zu, and the big guy delivered.

    All those vagueness on kawhi status really put dallas confused, but we cant rely that on GM2. Real series starts on Tue

  41. InTheMorning_Nightss

    Fucking solid end to end win today! Great stuff. Key takeaways:

    * Big Zu. Give the man his flowers. He set the tone early by establishing his offensive presence, and he kept the pressure going all game. That tech/flagrant duo was a BS call (choose one or the other), but big fella gonna learn from that.
    * Harden and Russ controlled the game insanely well. Good shit from our point guards leading from start to finish! Harden’s shot making was sublime and I liked him attacking the rim. Props to Russ on nailing his 3s and playing an under control game.
    * Defense in the first half was absolutely perfect. One issue they’ve had all season was being soft, but they really brought it to Dallas with some physical play.
    * The whistle was uh, interesting to say the least. Lots of hand-checking from Dallas along with straight up grabbing in the 2nd quarter. Harden got some Harden calls, but man that FT disparity don’t lie.
    * Love Harden’s aggression. Gonna need to see more from PG throughout the course of a game, but he made the shots that mattered to put it away! Same with Mann. Passed up a lot of good looks, but he made a couple of big 3s.
    * Plumlee is gonna be an issue for us, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Theis if his size doesn’t prove to be a problem. Plum’s defensive effort is just non existent, but you can tell his size is pretty crucial.
    * Lights were a little too bright for Coffey. Made quite a few boneheaded plays to start, and like Ty said, the person who deserves minutes will get them. Good learning experience for him.
    * Norm was uh, not good. But I’m not worried about him finding his offense.

    Overall, great win! Got ugly at the end, but that’s just the playoffs against a really talented team.

    I asked the producer to pipe this into the Clippers’ locker room so I can talk to you, James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because, listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You wanted to go to Vegas on off days, they looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule. And it didn’t work, and you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights in New York, I want to go there [with] my old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three. And all after one year, you wanted out. You realized, oh my gosh, I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want to go back with Daryl Morey. They traded Ben Simmons for you, how did they pull that off? And you know what, you went there and got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP and what did you say afterwards? You said, ‘They didn’t hand me the reins.’ You’re the point guard, you were holding the reins. And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with your guy who believed in you again. You said, ‘The bright lights of LA, that’s where I want to go.’ Let’s see how that works. Listen, James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates, over and over they complained about their bad roommates. … They never thought to be self aware enough that they’re the bad roommate. They’re the problem. Hey, James, you’re the problem. If this doesn’t work this year in this system with this team, then you’re going to go and point fingers at everybody else and you’re going to go back home and start swiping right for another team, and there’s not going to be anybody left. Because, James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.
