Playoffs 2024 - R1 - G3 - Mavs vs Clippers (8:00PM)

[MassimoPayne]

Man this defense looks incredible. Everybody locked in.
Love the style the refs are. Mavs are really benefiting from it

What a energy brings the AAC!!!!!

Finally our centers.
Finally Josh
Finally DJJ takes his 3s
Finally Westbrick ejected
But...the last but not the least... Finally Powell on the floor!!! What a humiliation for the Clips by Kidd.What a disrespectful move! OMG!

Good game by our guys, at home all role players stepped up luckily (not Exum, he is barely unplayable right now).
George is good but he is not a leader... But Kawhi will arrive in the series... Later or soon... So watch out.
Maxi has to wake up, he can't foul Harden on 3s every game. He is searching for foul, contest the shot but not try to block. It's useless. Or even harmful.

Kyrie is a killer. He finish the job every game.

The good Powell should be our perfect THJ replacement. He is the better version.

Luka is still Luka.

I didn't like so much our putrid offense in the middle/late of the 3rd quarter. We helped the Clips to cute down the lead. The game was almost over yet.

2-1.

Don't worry Dwight will still have a lot of chances to play

[MassimoPayne]

We are 2-1 and Luka still didn't play a good scoring game. Surprising.
I think the energy and togetherness is real championship mentality

However until our Cs can stay on the floor and we don't play small ball basket it's a blowout... At the AAC we have to force this.

Yep.

Mavs had the best defense in the league in the last 20 games of regular season and they still keep playing on that level. But a lot of people think LAC is just shooting poorly and has nothing to do with Mavs. If they keep playing like this and finally Gafford+Lively coming alive, i don't see how LAC can win anything.

The only thing (slightly) holding back Mavs right now is Luka's shooting. But also give credit to LAC defense who are playing rough with him.

[Dirk]

2-1 with Luka not being close to his best. And even Kyrie hasn't exactly gone supernova to win either of the games.

Lucked out with Kawhi being off/hurt/washed and/or maybe bigger credit to should be given to the defense.

Great to see Lively/Gafford producing.

Come on Dirk, give THJ some credit for not even dressing up, LAC had no one to exploit on defense, that was a 6th man of the year 5head move.

Ironically, THJr is one of the lone guys on the Mavs, outside of Luka/Kyrie... that can put up points on his own or has no conscience nad just shoots. But yeah... must be like 6 months since he actually shot well enough.... so maybe getting hurt is a blessing in disguise.

Kyrie buckets are sooooooo underrated in my opinion, he scored in crucial moments of the last 2 games.
He was a huge part of those Ws.

Watching the game now. Very impressed with the defense.
