You can’t make this up.

Lue talks about how well Leonard came out of game 1. Not sure if his minutes will increase and such. He’ll practice (no contact) today and …. they list him as questionable tomorrow.

kawhi looking more active and energetic. these are good signs.

overall, though, the mavs look more energized by a little bit and i'm hoping that it evens out. they're winning the 50/50 battle otherwise.

Battle of the centers so far.

More ball and player movement too.

Leonard sitting at the 6 minute mark?

Too 3 point happy right now.

PG gotta be smart with his fouls. 3rd straight game in early foul trouble.

Who’s suppose to score in this lineup? Westbrook shouldn’t be first option.

Ally oop drill for the Mavs. :banghead:

Plumlee is terrible and his continued playing time is more proof that Lue = Doc 2.0.

Embarrassing job on the boards. Lue hasn’t learned his lesson with Plumlee either.

We’re up but it doesn’t feel like it.

Leonard hurt or something?

Get Plumlee off the floor. It’s embarrassing.

Hardens 3’s have been timely but we’re not winning off them alone.

Honestly, we're just getting lucky right now with the exact same iso-heroball that lost us the last game. Not a single lesson was learned, not a single adjustment was made.

Leonard hurt and they not letting us know?

What’s Lue doing?

Brings PG back and now has 3 fouls. Stupid.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. It would be just like last year, all the load management and secrecy and he can't even make it through more than one playoff game. :noway:

Looks like he’s coming back in. He sat … what … 30 minutes?

Same old Playoff P. Same old Playoff Lue. :roll:

PG is just a terrible decision maker. Why with no pass, dribble for 5 seconds only to shoot a fade away 2 point shot. He will never be a winner with decisions like that. Drive to the F..in basket, pass, create for a better shot.

Not sure I’m going to stick around and watch this.

Geezus, Kawhi looks like trash

Is Lue sabotaging this team by playing this moron Plumlee? Literally the second coming of Doc.

KL2 · Post #18 » by **KL2** » Sat Apr 27, 2024 1:07 am

Leonard looks checked out. Not a good sign.

Mavs more athletic and out working us in all areas.

Need to sit Kawhi if he's not right. He doesn't look good out there

Everyone just stands around. This is on Lue. His offensive set is just let Harden dribble for the shot clock while everyone goes to a corner. Dallas just stands around and jerks off. We get one shot with one pass or a turnover. Kawhi looks old, disinterested, and getting blown by on defense.
