What is your Confidence Level playing the Clippers in Round 1?
(Scale 0-5, 0 being 'no confidence' and 5 being 'the Mavs will sweep')
4. But if we end up sweeping the Clippers, we are winning it all.
Dana Larson vibing while Nick lets it ride 🥰
Love these two their shows are great together
5
Confidence level : 4
Kawhi is killer. PG has been seen to go off in spurts. However, if you take 2 out of 4 of their "stars" (including westbrook and harden) out of the game, you stand a good chance.
Since we have PJ, Exum, DJJ, Green, and Maxi, i think we can make them work for the full 48 minutes.
Kawhi will always Kawhi, but the mavs are definitely more deep and playing more cohesively.
Clippers can win if Harden and Westbrook literally deal the ball to open shooters like it's their prime…i love em but its 2024…mavs in 6
P.S. no kawhi due to injury = Mavs in 5
A Ring and finals MVP will make Luka happier than the season MVP. Plus Luka will take not winning the MVP personally so watch out Clippers and any other team that crosses paths with the Mavs through the play offs. Now thats validation.
I thought the Clippers held the tie breaker so even if we win both game and they split their next two we'd tie…and they'd still be the 4 seed because of the tiebreaker. Correct? I still think we'll beat them regardless.
I have respect for the Clippers so 4.5
Dana is the woman i would want to be my step aunt ❤❤❤
Quite prankly, I'm more scared with a Clips team that have a Batum and/or Reggie Jackson.
Anything 🙂
It is just for Nick.
If kyrie will be the PG mavs will surely beat clippers. When kyrie distributes the ball has movement everybody contributes. When luka held the ball everybody just watched him do his thing take a shot or commit a turnover
Kyrie > Harden
If it's meant for Luka, it will find its way to him in due time. Meanwhile, the only realistic MVP for him right now is the Finals MVP. And I'm 100% sure he is gonna win it.
"If you don't believe you shouldn't be here" – I think this would be a good Mavs company tagline lol
Great thing about Luka is you almost have a guaranteed 30-9-9 in each playoff game. He’s so damn consistent for a guard. Couple with Ky scoring and offense shouldn’t be problem. Time for defense to keep clips controlled,
You boys are scared sh**less you know Kawhi is coming and it’s inevitable. End of the game Kawhi is going to Guard Luka and he’s going to shut him down again. Then hunt him on defense. You know it’s true and it’s coming to a theatre near you.
Love the well deserved coach Kidd jab from Dana to start the show off 💙🩵🤍
i would rest gafford luka and kyrie
play green exum jones washington dwight starting
Hardy Hardaway Maxi Omax Morris off the bench
play drive kick all game to hone our 3 point shooters for playoffs
Listening to yall as a clippers fan preparing for the matchup. I think it’s going to be an interesting series, but it’s foolish for anyone to think this series won’t go at least 6 games either way.
Why not still put positive Luka MVP vibes out 😢
3 I have to see the matches first to gain confidence
I'm gonna give a 3-4. Mavs gotta come with it. No messing around. Mavs are currently hot, But the tides can change, brace yourself. Personally I want to see a sweep.
They will not give that MVP trophy to Luka. Those who will vote for the MVP are the same guys that said bad things about Luka before he was drafted. They dont want their egos to be stepped on and they dont want to look stupid for saying bad things about him and vote for him as the MVP.
5 Mavs 4-1 overrated clips
mavs in 4.. i am confident if lively play
73 points next to wilt and Kobe.
Luka 73 jokic ?
Dana is so very pretty. Sorry. Couldn’t help it.
Luka leads in 4 of 6 categories. If he doesn’t win, it will be STOLEN.
Luka's game against okc will be the final nail in that coffin for that mvp award
PRAVI MVP
