RD 1 GAME #3: LAC [1-1] @ MAVS [1-1]—FRI 4/26 5 PM, ESPN

[Scoundreldays]

What is going on with Kawhi, barely in playing like a scrub

[KL2]

Leonard looked fine in game 1 but he looks disinterested here. Only 2 shots. As Law Murray tweeted he looks like a decoy out there.

Players look out of sorts and a coach who looks like it’s his first game coaching.

I can't wait to be done with this era. This team is softer than Charmin. The only guy with a winning mentality is Russ.

Why set up a shot for Westbrook for 3? This was just horrible coaching by Lue

[KL2]

PG 2-5
Leonard 1-2
Zu 5-7
Harden 5-9
Mann 0-2

Plumlee 0-0
Westbrook 0-5
Bones 0-0 (played 21 seconds)
Coffey 0-2
Powell 3-7

That’s a hot mess and we haven’t talked about turnovers, defense, all the love for the Mavs, lack of focus and hustle.

[KL2]

Players need to take a look in the mirror but a coach would be willing to try anything and push buttons. Coach is as bad as the players right now.

I can’t believe we’re not down 30.

Three more years with Kawhi

[Clemenza]

Sit Kawhi. Give Bones a shot. Feed Zu. Theis backs up Zu. PG stay out of even more foul trouble. Need something from either Mann, Coffey, or Norm.

Took the damn fun out of basketball. Unless this team goes through a mountain change I’m done.

[KL2]

Decoy Kawhi doesn’t work. Either play him or sit him. It’s not that hard.

[og15]

Russ has the energy and intensity, but not the skill and IQ to consistently generate it into wins.

Kawhi doesn't even look like he should be in the game.

The offense is running as "the system", but they need to be running more sets to get guys free off ball (mostly Powell is commiting to these) as opposed to lackadaisically coming off them with the plan for iso.

Russ is open, but the opposition wants him to be, this has been known about Westbrook in the playoffs, and he's a career 41/30 guy in the playoffs for a reason.

[KL2]

Leonard’s called for the ball twice and they’ve looked him off. PG isn’t even looking to score. Something ain’t right with this.

Too lethargic. Ty lue should coach. It's the playoffs. Y take it for granted. They players that don't want to play hard shouldn't play. I legit don't get it.play bones and kobe. They realize they dreamed of moments like this

[HardenGoat]

This sucks. Team is out of synch. Kawhi is a non factor. Not sure what Lue is trying to do now that the best player is not part of any equation

[KL2]

4 fouls on PG.

Lue might be forced to try something different but will probably just double down on his usual.

[KL2]

That quick drive and dunk by Leonard. And then the ally oop from PG. He hung on the rim awhile to make sure he came down good. Moves look fine but mentally he looks elsewhere.

[HardenGoat]

Luka does a lot of bulldozing and jumping into defenders. Takes a lot of discipline to not leave the ground but that’s the most important thing to not do. Last 2 possessions we did the right thing finally

[wakelaunch1]

The offensive decision making in a half court set by the clippers is horrendous.

[KL2]

How does PG only have 6 shot attempts?

The offense really looks like anyone but Leonard and PG.
