*whispers under breath* Fuck.
No excuses. Gotta go through āem.
If this team and coaching staff really are who they say they are they will win this G2 no matter who suits up for the Clippers.
I believe in Karmic Mavs, this means that we are going to win tonight
Letās whoop his ass. Go MavsĀ
If we wanna be the best, gotta go through the best.
That game 1 loss without Kawhi might come back to bite us. We better be locked in tonight.
His uncle cleared him for game 2.
Go at him now.
I’m fine with this. They’re going to be tentative as they figure out his role and manage his minutes. This hurts the players that were filling in for him, and may throw off their rhythm. I just wish we had a coach that could actually capitalize on something like this. We’ll see though, if Jason Kidd tries to go at Kawhi on defense early, maybe there’s hope, although I’m not holding my breath.
Doesn’t matter
If we can’t beat the best teams at full strength then we don’t belong here anyway
Yeahā¦pretty nervous now
He hasn’t played in a month. Don’t feel like this changes much.
We were never who we thought we were if we donāt get through this Clippers team. Iām hyped af, beating them without Kawhi wouldnāt taste as sweet
And one thing is certain, we have the best player on the court.
I mean the Mavs said all last week that they were preparing as if Kawhi was going to play. Letās see if that was real or just BS. Obvi they didnāt plan for Zubac at all.
I’m sure Kidd will let the players figure it out.. š¤
How bout we test out that knee by switching Kyrie on to himĀ
Tbf I donāt mind this, if we beat them with Kawhi and then going back home weāll have all the momentum and theyāll question themselves. Weāll know we can beat them with Kawhi too. He might even put the team out of rhythm as well.
Win tonight, win the series. Letās fucking go.
I’ve seen the Mavs 13 times and never seen them lose, was planning on going to the game tonight since I live in LA but lost my job last week so I’m sorry ya’ll if it’s an L it’s on me š
Even better, now they have pressure but I believed in Luka more in 21. I feel like he got better at making shots but young Luka was getting better shots
I mean he was gonna play eventually. Team got a blessing in game 1 and didnāt capitalize
heās gonna reinjure it. iām not sure why theyāre bringing him back
Finally Luka will be extra motivated, he wants to them at full strength.
Think this game tells us the series we will get. Mavs win opens it up. We all know the clips can win on the road.
Do you all really think this is scary news???
Thank goodness. Now there’s no chance I’ll have to stay up until midnight. Need my beauty rest.
My mentL health can’t take another loss I beg mavs.
Mavs in 5.
Good. Show them the last game was a fluke. Crush them at full strength. LETS FUCKING GO MAVS!!!
Mark Stone and now Leonard?? Dallas fans can’t catch a break.
We were under the assumption Kawhi would play before the series started; and were really confident we’d win the series regardless. I still think we win this.
Lord, give us the strength to persevere.
