if you're a casual watching this game and thinking to yourself "why aren't the two best defenders guarding Doncic?" it's because the NBA is rigged. It's a TV show. They want their stars to shine so fans are happy.

Plumlee has been blocked twice on dunks, fumbled wide open dunks twice.. turned the ball over for a live ball turnover bucket, allowed Luka a wide open 3. Like I don’t think the average fan understands the damage one rotation can do. Mason will literally cost the Clippers a game this series single-handedly. He’s basically the new Marcus Morris.

Mavs always feel like a collection of assorted spare parts outside of Luka.

Teams have been in the huddle for about 40 seconds and Luka is still whining to the officials. Quite pathetic

I'm down to give Luka turnovers for even making those passes to Kleber. Stop passing to this **** bum, especially when you're scorching hot!!!!

Everytime I watch Mavericks, Kleber is so bad. I always expect him to miss.

Lue really needs to have PJ or Theis enter the game for Mason, he's been atrocious out there. Hell, even give Kai or Kobe a chance at this point

Mavs finally has a lead in a game in this series (18-13 so far).

They lost game 1 wire to wire, no leads at all.

Seriously, why is Plumlee even out there? I could understand if Dallas had a Jokic or Embiid type of big man, but they don't have anything close to that.
