2024 NBA Playoffs - West 1st Round: #4 Los Angeles Clippers vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-2)

Hopefully Kawhi can play. He's looked horrible out there and completely kills their rhythm offensively.
George and Harden and the clippers offense has looked so much better without him in Game 1.

Mavs have a better chance of winning if Kawhi plays.

Why not just bring Kawhi off the bench?

Burke…

Kleber does this like five times in a season, resulting in at least three TO

I am a Clippers fan and root for them to win.

My unbiased opinion- Dallas has played with a lot of heart and hustle for games 2 and 3. Give them all the credit for the wins - they earned them.

Clippers have played their worst basketball for games 2 and 3. Game 3 they had 19 turnovers and 24 fouls compared to Mavs 8 turnovers and 16 fouls.

Kawhi usually needs 3-4 games to ramp up and get back into form when he returns from several games missed.

Today will really show what both teams are made of.

Let the best team win.

I can't understand on what planet does she have that job over a fired Jeff Van Gundy.

She is a she. Thats the times we live in. Just look at tnt and espn, the so called experts might have been great as players but they are clueless and doesnt watch basketball at all. I think its the biggest issue with nba and why it isnt taken as serious as it could

Kawhi out for game 4 and probably longer. Good news for the Clips.

[Forbes]

Kawhi out definitely is a plus for the clips. Played their best game without him. I do believe this helps the Mavs just a little on offense as Kawhi still wasn’t a slouch on Defense.

I’m still waiting for both teams to have a normal game.

[ChipotleWest]

The game is at 3:30 eastern on a Sunday, no Kawhi.

I'm getting dejavu from last Sunday. Hope the Mavs show up in the first half this time.

[vulture]

Sad that kawhi is so brittle and we will never see peak kawhi again.

[Chuck Everett]

Kawhi ruled out. See you in October. Dude not playing in the Olympics.

[levon]

I think Kawhi would ideally retire by working on some kind of buyout. Of course he'd never do it because he signed that extension, nor should he. Terrible business decision by Ballmer.

Can't wait for him to be ranked as the 7th best player again next year because "a healthy Kawhi is a top 3 player."

Extending Kawhi WAS a business decision. Can’t open the new arena as lottery team

[Tracymcgoaty]

Time to move on from Kawhi. Dude has zero value at this point. There is no point investing in a dude who cant play when it matters. He's only getting older and those knees are beyond shot. Clippers are idiots if they keep him. But what could they even get for him. His value has to be down the drain.

Dumbest extension in years. He had a player option at the end of this season, should have just forced him to make a decision.

No way are the Clippers a lottery team without Kawhi. That team is still good.

[Scoundreldays]

Time to move on from the 213 era. One is always hurt while the other one is soft.

I can't even clown the Clippers defense for that play because Lue is a good coach and Kleber making that play is such an outlier there's no way they could be ready for that no matter how much film they watch

Mavs need to avoid a letdown here without Kawhi.

[durden_tyler]

Mavs now -7 favorites (Opened -5.5 or 5). Rooting for a blowout win for Dallas!

I should be comfortable but I'm not. Luka's got a knee problem but is playing. Last Sunday same time no Kawhi Clippers won. Dallas has to show up not just expect a win.
