How does Lue handle Leonard’s minutes? Play him the first 4 or so? Get a 4 minute breather? Finish the final 4?

I feel like I am playing Russian Roulette every time he's on a fast break.

so, my hope was just to be leading going into the 4th, because i feel like psychologically the mavs might be negatively impacted by a deficit despite them pretty much outplaying the team for most of the game.

did my hopes include that lead being gifted to us by the refs? no, but you take what you can get, you know?

Going to start the 4th with a rested Kawhi, rested Mann and semi rested PG.

With a technical foul, if Doncic gets one more, he's ejected. And Clippers automatically win. They were 4-0 in the regular season whenever an ejection occurs in a Clipper game.

I have zero confidence in Russell Westbrook (1-7) putting the ball in the basket. Mann 2-7 Powell 1-5 Zubac 1-6. Yikes

Surprised by this 4th qtr lineup to start.

ugh, giving up that board to josh green feels unforgivable

Norm!!!

great, my feed cuts out only for me to hear BS going nuts about powell hitting a 3, all while the screen is black lol

you take what you can get, you know?

I love their energy right now!

Good Russ showing up so far in the 4th.

Take this momentum and run like hell. Kill any hope they have.

Ty can keep PG on bench longer with those 4 fouls as long as this lineup keeps adding to the lead.

It's the Russ factor. The way he's been playing this series is near-perfect for what we need.

If we can keep a lead for 3-4 minutes and then PG and Kawhi come back in rested, that will give us such an boost to finish strong.

EDIT- Or not.

And just like that down 3.

lol i literally forgot all about paul george, since he was sitting for so long

Need Kawhi and PG attacking the rim right now.
