Game #15: DALLAS CUBANS (10-5) @ LAC (6-8) SAT 11/25, 7:30 PM--CHANNEL 5, NBA-TV

Solid defense this game especially Mann. Dudes balling this game.

[esqtvd]

CLIPPERS BALLIN'.

Can't remember saying that, like ever? Not since Blake swoopin' and hoopin'.

And Russ--in sweats on the bench--first to chest-bump T-Mann after a hoop and Mavs TO.

And forget his numbers tonight--Russ is the CAPTAIN. Kawhi is 0-9. This is HIS team. But he's not the one propping T-Mann.

Superstars are always supposed to be in double digits. Guess who has double digit points? The role players.

Mann, Zubac and Powell have 13, 11 and 15 respectively - all role players.

The only superstar in double digits is George, 19 PTS.

Leonard, Harden and Westbrook have a combined 16 PTS: made out of 6, 8 and 2 respectively.

Is this good or bad? Aren't Clippers supposed to be a Big 3, or the Revenge Of The Role Players?

brutal end

[KL2]

Well that sucked. Gave the Mavs some hope to end the 3rd.

PG just a terrible end of quarter sequence. Pull up fade away 3 brick off one pass, then gets back slowly and Kyree eats him alive. Then PG over dribbles and shoots a brick in the lane, followed by a Kyree 3. i get hes a good player but I dont think hes serious. Hes parks and rec, street ball

[esqtvd]

I wonder if Brown, Bones, and/or Diabate can sniff a couple minutes tonight?

I don't. Kawhi and Harden are 3-18!! Let the others get themselves sorted first.


Mavs close to 13, 83-70. Clippers call time out.

[KL2]

Welp. Let’s see what Lue comes up with now.

Leave Russ out of this. He's only taken 3 shots and has 5 rebs and 7 assts in only 19 minutes.

[KL2]

Leonard being +23 right now is hilarious.

Oh my gosh. Brown gets to touch the floor. No Bones though. Wow. Now he is.

Get all the shots up you can you might not this opportunity again for awhile.

yes

[esqtvd]

Leonard being +23 right now is hilarious.

Not even. Kawhi is Mann x 10. The ULTIMATE glue guy. 2-12 from the field. Plus+23. Team high. JUST who Kawhi wants to be.

And it's because T-Mann stepped up and scored 17 points. Only 3 rebs, 1 asst. They swapped roles.

And PG was DOMINANT, 25-9-4. Why Kawhi wanted him as his wingman.

[esqtvd]

Two key TEAM stats:

Only 28% from 3--but the Mavs only shot 24%. We won this on THE FLOOR.

Clips OUTREBOUNDED the Cubans 57-37. You could see it without even seeing the stat sheet.

[NickP]

Kawhi could go 0 for and I couldn't care less. On a night when Kawhi and Harden couldn't find the basket, we won big. That means someone else picked up the slack.
Great, quality win.

[HardenGoat]

Solid game. Role player and defensive game. All that matters is winning. You can tell that is the mind set and they are putting that first. Slowly digging out of the hole

[Dynamix]

Great bounce back game from Russ, he/we really needed it.

Terance Mann with one of those aggressive mindsets you want to see much more often. His career game against Utah wasn't just because of ridiculous long rage shooting, he attacked the rim at every opportunity. Lively not being available definitely didn't hurt.

Norm continues to be incredibly efficient.

Not going to sound the alarm on Kawhi just yet, not after last season.

Theis is nice.

I'm taking a small step back from the cliff I found myself on after that Pelicans game, but we need some more solid wins like this one. Would love to get one on the road as well.

[Captain Ballmer]

I really like the way we attacked to this game. Not settling for Jump Shots, no early shot clock isos. Just working, passing, looking for the spaces, mismatches. Solid.

Obviously we got great help from Luka's hand injury and no Lively, Kleber to put body on us, but I saw my Clippers do even worst on a better situation than this, so I'm hyped.

Great win. Did not play down to the competition.

Was this a depleted Mavs team?

Nuggets on Monday will be a good win for LAC. Would be .500 and can start inching closer to a top 8 seeding.
