[Afseth] Jason Kidd on slow starts: “We’ve gotten off to slow starts. We played better in the second half, so that’s just something we’ve got to talk about as a team. If there’s another afternoon game, we’ve got to make sure we’re ready to go from the jump, and we can’t wait.”

Slow stary keeps happening cause Luka has been so bad. Normally he goes off 1st half and Kyrie takes over 2nd. We are missing the Luka 1st half.
The afternoon game excuse is lame it’s the playoffs and the Clippers this season have been really bad in afternoon games yet are 2-0 in them this series and that’s without Kawhi as well.
The main issue is Luka and Irving take few to zero shots in the first quarter. They wait to take the game over when it needs to be from the beginning.
You can’t seriously blame it on being an afternoon game wtf this is the playoffs. There’s just no excuses to be used.
Maybe lets wait alittle bit..cause luka is playing hurt
a reporter brought this up in postgame interviews and Kyrie laughed
We are two ATROCIOUS quarters from sweeping these bums if you think about. If mavs manage 5 or more points in those quarters – g1 and g4 , this would have been a sweep already.
The problem is Luka waltzes up the court and walks into a heavily contested shot for most of the first quarter. He needs to drive and attack off the jump and let the other guys get involved early. Nobody is in rhythm while the clippers are locked in. Theres no excuse for playing this bad in game 4.
