Can't wait for him to be ranked as the 7th best player again next year because "a healthy Kawhi is a top 3 player."

Extending Kawhi WAS a business decision. Can’t open the new arena as lottery team

No way are the Clippers a lottery team without Kawhi. That team is still good.

Can’t know if PG walks without Kawhi…Kawhi told with the extension he expect PG to sign one too

I should be comfortable but I'm not. Luka's got a knee problem but is playing. Last Sunday same time no Kawhi Clippers won. Dallas has to show up not just expect a win.

Hopefully Dallas learns their lesson this time. They shouldnt have lost game 1. I got the feeling they were caught off guard. Theres no way a Kawhi-less Clippers team should beat the Mavs twice in a row. That would be embarrassing.

76ers and Knicks game would take 15 min longer due to the free throws

They beat the Nuggets, Cavs and Suns towards the end of the regular season without Kawhi. They have to depend on Harden to be the #1 guy though since Paul George doesn't like to show up in the playoffs.

Clippers are a playoff team without Kawhi, Mavs are a lottery team without Luka and Luka isn't right.

I don't think PG and Kawhi are that tied to the hip. PG might walk this summer. There's no mutual loyalty there.

No Kawhi, lets get back to what we did in game 1

I can't understand on what planet does she have that job over a fired Jeff Van Gundy.

She is a she. Thats the times we live in. Just look at tnt and espn, the so called experts might have been great as players but they are clueless and doesnt watch basketball at all. I think its the biggest issue with nba and why it isnt taken as serious as it could

She's been with ESPN for like 30 years. Probably more of a loyalty thing.

ANYWAY. Go Mavs :banghead:

Luka was 2 fouls ALREADY? The score is 2-0.

Seriously? He doesn’t defend so how did he get close enough to commit to fouls.

I guess you haven't been watching this series, him not defending is an old narrative.

Why do Dallas rims sound different than the rest of the league?

Doris straight up doesn't watch the NBA. She says some starf#%ker bull for an hour and cashes her checks.

EDIT: This is a perfect example
