    That was a good ‘ol fashioned Texas whoopin’.

  3. KarchunToo

    The Clippers just came out with 0 energy tonight

  4. homefree122

    The Thunder trading PG to the Clippers gets better every season.

  5. Sim888

    if they’re gonna let Peg Leg Luka drop 35/7/10 the Clippers are gettin sunk in 6

  6. suzukigun4life

    WIth 4:28 to go in the first half, the score was 43-42 in favor of Dallas.

    With 4:20 to go in the 3rd quarter, the score was 76-52 in favor of Dallas.

    A 33-10 run on the road, spanning a full quarter. It was so surreal, unsettling and glorious to witness.

  7. imcryptic

    I think what you mean to say is,

    Ask 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 want 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 of New York. I want to go there. 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 back with Daryl Morey.” They traded Ben Simmons for you—how did they pull that off?

    And you know what? You went there, and you 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 the guy that believed in you again, you said “the bright lights of LA! That’s where I want to go! Let’s see if that works.”

    Listen James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates? Over and over they complained about their bad roommates: “this guy’s terrible,” “the bad roommate here,” 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 gonna go and point fingers at everybody else and then you’re gonna go back home and you’re gonna start swiping right for another team, and there’s not gonna be anyone left. Because James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.

    Last game we saw vintage PG and Harden, this game we saw vintage playoff P and playoff Harden

  9. Apprehensive-Sir-411

    if New Orleans deserved Galveston, we should send the Clippers to Pyongyang.

  10. itsnotyellowfever

    Luka finally coming around to tear the Clippers a new asshole in a pivotal game had to be *the* most predictable part of the script and it’s why I wouldn’t be looking forward to facing Dallas in a series regardless of who you are

  11. A_MASSIVE_PERVERT

    “Luka Doncic – GTD” is a top 5 player of all time.

  12. veesofficial

    Good to see Mavs on the right side of a 31 point lead this time around 😇

  13. drivebabygoose

    Jaden Hardy outscored James Harden tonight. He didn’t play until the 4th quarter.

  15. StefonDiggsHS

    We finally got a good Luka game and we beat them by 30

    also you knew a PG/Harden game like this was coming, weve only seen this happen 10+ years in a row

    Luka seems like he found his rhythm and we survived a Kyrie off night

    HAVE to win game 6 to give Luka some rest for OKC

  16. EvilDave219

    Jaden Hardy played 5 minutes in garbage time and outscored James Harden by 2x.

  17. FrancoZemonda

    I knew the Mavs was gonna win this game once the clippers was up 31 and almost blew it game 4

  18. K1ngCrimsn

    Turns out when the Clippers don’t shoot like the Zombie Heat they get clamped really bad

  19. severus_snapshot

    Biggest playoff loss in Clippers history.

  20. Tmac834

    Our defense was stifling tonight, shout out to DJJ and PJ. They played like dawgs

  22. Superguy328

    Why waste any effort arguing with Paul George fans when you can just simply wait

  23. WhiteBoyFlipz

    UNDOE ONE HUNDOE BITCHES. BOTH DALLAS TEAMS UP 3-2

  24. __JimmyC__

    Basketball terrorist Russell Westbrook masterclass.

  25. CheetahSperm18

    >Here’s your Dallas Mavs Post Game Summary. Now in our 7th Season 7️⃣

    Did the Mavs win? ✅ FUCK WE NEEDED THIS

    SERIES: 3️⃣-2️⃣

    Was it a Sunday? ❌🗓️

    Was the game on ABC? ❌🔤

    Was the game at 2:30PM CST? ❌⌚

    Did the Clippers shoot 60% from 3?? ❌🧱

    Luka with a HUGE bounce back game after feeling guilty for last game. Still rough shooting from 3 but he managed to knock a couple down. He managed to get around well enough tonight despite that sprained knee but goddamn the Clips were getting away with so much contact on him. Glad he got back up each time. Finished with 35/7/10 going 11/17 from 2 and 4/4 from FT 🇸🇮🔥🦵

    Kyrie with the loudest 14/4/6/2 (you had to watch the game to get what I mean) despite the rough shooting 🪬🌍

    Gafford with 8/5 & 2 Stocks 💹

    Hardy Party with the quick 12pts in 5min to keep us up 30 at the end of the game 🥳⏱️

    Jones with 12/3 & 3 Blocks & 2 3’s ✋✋✋👌👌

    Maxi was HUGE in staying connected early and then pulling away later with 15pts all on 5 3’s 🇩🇪💦👌

    Kangaroo Josh with a HUGE 4PT play to kill the Clippers momentum 4️⃣👌🦘🇦🇺🪃

    Dereck was absolutely amazing tonight on both ends with the easiest sparkplug offense going a perfect 5/5 from the field for 12pts and racking up 2 Blocks (I swear he had more than that). 💯

    ***

    ###***This is the first time in Westbrook’s career where in the playoffs he will be the X-Factor that decides the series. He is right now the best guard / point of attack defender to stop dribble penetration. The stats show it all season, and all his advanced stats for a point guard are elite on defense. He also is the only guard trying to rebound contested rebounds on the team.***

    ***Luka has no magic against Westbrook.***

    -MITWestbrook before the series 🗣️

  28. ShapeOfAUnicorn

    Clippers quit so early, it was pathetic.

  29. xRadec

    Hey yo we can beat the clippers without Kahwi lol

  30. mo2704

    The holy trinity of Playoff PeePee, Literally Hitler and Westbrick in full force tonight

  31. lost_in_trepidation

    Kyrie with the most deceptive statline of all time.

    His 14 felt like 40.

  32. texas2089

    By far the best game Luka has played this series and Maxi dropping triples was huge. I love the way this team is playing defense too.

    This Clippers team has zero killer instinct though. They looked broken from the jump and just had no sense of urgency. The fans were as quiet as a funeral tonight too. Mavs fans down 30 were louder than Clippers fans have been at any point in this series. It may still go 7, but this was an embarrassing effort from LA.

  33. InternationalCut93

    Kyrie was doing everything to affect the game even when his shots weren’t going in tonight. He’s playing some of his best ball to date. 

  35. rishabh2996

    One of them Westbrook jumpers hit me through my TV screen

  36. RabbiSteve420

    Mavs are +42 in the last 6 quarters and they always have the ability to look like the best offense in the league. Clippers Mavs has been a hell of a first round series these past 5 years

  37. OrganicHunt952

    Podcast p ain’t doing a podcast tomorrow that’s for sure 😂

  38. HoS_CaptObvious

    Kyrie and Luka went a combined 3/15 from 3 and the Mavs won by 30

  39. Victor_Wembanyama1

    Dallas defense is legit when they’re locked in. Clippers had a couple FG droughts

  40. Im-not-on-drugs

    Did hardy out score harden and westbrick combined in like 5 mins of playing by time
