They'll bounce back game 2, that second half was a confidence needer. Aslong PJ and Green defends Harden/Geroge we're good. Also just attack the paint if the 3s not falling, thats been lowkey our problem this season

Jesus died for us ❤
To summarize: You cannot win a basketball scoring 8 points as a team during a quarter 😬
How the hell are the Mavs gonna put up EIGHT points in the playoffs? Pathetic bruh. That’s not gonna get it done. Everyone needs to step it up. People can say whatever they want about LAC but you cannot underestimate those guys. Four future hall of famers.
Kyrie is starting to look like L.T.
2 stars that cant defend shit? Yeah 1st round exit
LOOSERRSSS!!
This is a cold splash of water. Mavs beat themselves on this one. They cut it down to 12 so it would sting less but 8 pts in a single quarter? They got some soul searching to do. Really disappointing all things considered
They honestly gotta but Josh Green in the rotation he brings an extra spark to the team
Luka Die hards…..yall need to show your face.
Mavs doing what they do best losing to the clippers 😂
Luka forces so many shots bruh he needs to chill
What’s up with that earring 😬
Lakers in 6!
Mavs in 5 …..
I knew they were going to come out and loss this game acting like they where invincible because kawhi wasnt there. I hate when teams do that. Now kawhi can rest for longer and get more healthy. Bad pathetic loss and dont under estimate harden he usually goes off in the playoffs, the only times he chokes is in those close out games. So expect harden to be good and if it comes down to it they have guys who dont typically choke in kawhi and pg and dont forget about Westbrook who is still a mvp and is still in phenomenal shape he isnt some washed allstar like the media tries to portray his physique is second to none rn, really look at dude
was at work and while looking up the stats I was like wtf up with the mass role players lol
Its ok mavs in 8
Is it me or do teams that lose game 1 usually come back to win the whole thing? 🤷♀️ Just sayin'
Let’s go boys. Mavs in 7
One of the worst games I’ve ever watched. Tim Hardaway should not see the court, Josh Green should be 6/7 man, and Lively should start. And they have to, have to stop helping off so heavy. Have to guard yours, Luka needed help on every single possession.
Sad
anyone on the mavs has enough mojo to tell luka that he MIGHT want to give SOME effort in defense !?!?!?!?!?! the only thing luka/irving want to do in a basketball game is shoot and pass….they give NO EFFORT on defense whatsoerver….pathetic.
Don’t worry Dallas gonna win this series, a serious team like this always puts up 30 pts at the half 💀😂🪦 no kawhi no problem it seems for Dallas.
Mavs showed in this game exactly why the Mavs and any Luka team the way he currently plays will never find playoff success: Luka 33pt in 42min, Kyrie 31pt in 39min – and basically no one else in their 10 man significantly contributed to their busted 97pt total.
And it’s not those player’s fault. Mavs embraced Luka Savior Mode (not the first time dallas has given everything to a white savior cornerstone to the detriment of the team..) and it’s simply not a consistently successful playoff formula.
And it never will be.
The 3pt numbers pretty much spell out who’s playing perimeter defense and who’s not. I’m not sure you can call it chess when it’s simply which team decided they were playing to win and the other decided they were playing scrimmage.
they could have easily capitalized off of this game with kawhi being out. instead, they blew it and now kawhi has a higher chance of being healthy in game 2 and clips being up 2-0.
this is going 7, no Kawhi
