2024 NBA Playoffs - West 1st Round: #4 Los Angeles Clippers vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-2)

Funny how Mavs are 2 and 1 and Luka has yet to have a good game and people are talking about Kawhi not playing. Like, come on.

[Champ1on]

Luka doesn't have a single signature game and next one is for the 3-1 lead. He has to go off in one of the next 2 games, it's gotta happen.

Man y'all Luka fan not even happy his team is winning. Just wanting Luka to show up big; win or loss. He doesn't have to do anything else if his team is winning like this.

[Branduil]

The people involved with drafting Lively & facilitating the trade for Gafford need a FAT bonus this year.

PJ Washington too. They obviously saw something in his defensive potential that no one else did.

[Yuri36]

Tell you what, the way the Mavs have been playing (almost since all post All-Star break) they could really give The Nuggets a run for their money in a 7 game series.

I still think Denver will win it, but Dallas have a team and a couple of superstars in Luka and Kyrie who are playing with something to prove.

I think this series is done. Kawhi not being 100 % fit is the mean reason why I think the Clips cannot win this series.

Feel bad for Clippera fans tbh..

I don't think Dallas can get past OKC.

lol want to remind you what happened the last time Mavs were playing them with both Luka and Kyrie?

BTW IMO Westbrook should have been ejected with the hit to the head on Green. I do not give him the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident with how out of control he's been since Game 2. He is like a bipolar off his meds.

i really dont like the way Westbrook approached this game. he clearly went in there from the beginning with intent to be an enforcer, and he was out there making dirty plays left and right.

[Swish1906]

Healthy Kawhi was the only reason the Clippers won twice in the playoffs against the Mavs.

I think it's more like we don't think it's sustainable for Dallas to keep winning without him having a great game. I don't give a damn about his stats or anyones as long as we win.

it's obvious he's trying to play mind games on Luka...it comes off as cheap...you have Kawhi, PG, and Harden on your team and you're resorting to mind games against the opposing team's star.

Could be a great series.

[kacey ring]

Suspending Westbrook at this point would benefit the clippers lol

Don't wanna get into that but either way he should be suspended. And he didn't get his money's worth for it.

He won’t be tho

If Westbrook gets suspended then I’m sure the Mavs will protest it. That’s right, I said the Mavs will protest it. They want him out there.

Not sure english your first language or not but you need to improve reading and comprehension skills.

[Swish1906]

I’m 99% sure Westbrook is trying to suck Luka into a double ejection in game 4…

No point in trying. He just checked that okc barely won games when mavs were shorthanded and forgot to check that they got smashed when luka and kyrie played.

westbrick did the same thing to ricky rubio when they got upset by utah in 2018

[Apz]

Ballmer probably buying westbrook a ticket on spacex next testflight. Wonder if we can convince cuban to chip in so they let thj join

Not really. DEN is better on both sides of the ball.

[Handlez]

Mavs defense is LEGIT.

THAT is what matters most now.

Ah. the Draybait strategy. All Westbrook has to do is the teabag move.

Oh really?
Again, seems like you've stayed on a world where the Mavs didn't have both Gafford and PJ Washington and on a world where Kyrie was injured.

Luka 25 shots for 22 points. As long as Denver can get past Phoenix or Minnesota they’ll have no problem with this team.
