Wonder what Clipper player will be called for a Tech and Flagrant for being fouled by a Dallas player tomorrow night.

If they don't come with some more fire in Game 2, they're gonna be cooked and Kidd will be looking for a job. But I do think PART of the problem was how stale they were after shutting it down a few games ago. At least that's what I'm trying to tell myself...



Luka alone has done more for the Mavs then the Cowboys have in the last 25 years.

Nobody's talking about Luka's career, we're talking about one half. 8 points in one quarter, that's probably the record low.

I just looked and Celtics got 7 once in 2016 in the playoffs, this is second lowest for playoffs.

Edit: I'm wrong, I googled bad. There's been 5 and 6 before. Still one of the lowest.

Duh now....the 'Boys are a joke, and have been for almost 30 years. But so was Luka in Game 1.

Did he just repeat it today, or are you referring to his tweet before Game 1?

He said today Kawhi plans to play in Game 2. Right at the beginning of the video.

I don’t see Kawhi coming back tomorrow. I’m gonna guess game 3 or 4. Today he’s running through video sessions and shooting basically. Zero contact for the team. Typically a guy with his injury history doesn’t come back after no contact practices to big games. I say Mavs tie it up 1-1 unfortunately. IF Kawhi somehow does overcome the odds on this prediction it’s 50/50.

I just got an ESPN alert saying Kawhi is questionable for game 2.


Paul George had a so so game 1. He might come in tomorrow and drop 40+

Norman Powell was quiet but they didn’t really need him on Sunday. He can come out tomorrow and give 25+

I hope Skip is right and he plays.

But … above tweet info and some of the players talking about buying more time for Leonard makes me think he sits another game.

Every single player has had a bad 1st half/game. Luka can't be perfect 24/7 to sit here and cry and complain about 1 single game is crazy. We lost. Get over it and move on to the next game. I'm pretty sure every single player on the mavs has moved on to tonight's game.So should you.

Comparing 30 years to 1 game is a joke.

I already did, have you? You're the one bumping posts 2 days later and still talking about it. Just because I made a comment that Luka sucked for one half does not mean I think he should retire. You've been making it a career thing thinking you have to defend his honor about how much he's done instead of just letting it go that he indeed did suck for one half. It's not that big of a deal move on.

I remember when this was by far the most anticipated and intriguing first round series. It's lost its luster somehow. Knicks/Sixers and Nuggets/Lakers probably have something to do with that.

Lol, that's not how the playoffs work unless it's some 1v8 matchup.
