Wasted effort, couldn’t get the job done and could cost them the series. Oh Mavs, i really believed you could beat the Thunder, Nuggets… but after this? Not sure anymore.

Clips won both games without Kawhi and lost both games with him

We win that game by 8 or 10 points if Kidd didn't decide to play Maxi over BOTH TRUE CENTERS IN THE 4th. Something Harden and the Clippers figured out in two seconds and easily exploited. I've never seen a coach deserve to get fired more than right now.

We didn't come back from 31 with both centers on the bench, what made him decide that was suddenly a good decision? Are they both hurt? That's the only logical reason.

Mavs just need to not get punched in the mouth in the 1st quarter for the rest of the series.

The quality of coaching difference in this game was very obvious. Lue is consistently underrated as a coach while Kidd is correctly rated as a bad coach.

Kidd isn’t a bad coach - he is the worse coach

Kidd is not a bad coach?

Love me some Kawhi, but him playing with a severely hobbled body really is quite the advantage for the Mavs, not the Clippers. Kawhi basically gets minutes and shots out of respect, while being useless overall.

Clippers fans better hope he stays injured this series and just works himself back into shape on his own.

No they shouldnt. I love Kawhi but I’ve been saying if he were healthy for 5 years now. You can’t rely on his health. The only solution would literally be having him start his seasons in March

Not too sure if they get past the Clips, Thunder, Wolves/Nuggs. TBH

Briefly choked it all away (Mavs led briefly), but Clips regained it and held on for dear life!

I got away from the game for a bit because I was going to lose my mind watching the lead get blown and didn't want to have the day ruined!

As long as Luka Doncic doesn't fully understand that working CONSISTANTLY on your fitness is a must to become the world best player and win rings, sadly I don't think he will ever reach the peak his talent should enable him to reach.

Kawhi is the best player he’s just injured. Similar to Embiid but he’s obviously dealing with something worse right now.

Such an obvious decision, it’s a damn mystery why they weren’t in game.

Yep.

Keep Kawhi on the bench, he's rusty!

Yeah, this loss is on Luka allowing Harden to go back to prime Harden.
