ROUND 1, GAME 5: Mavericks @ Clippers 7:00PM 6/2/2021

If the Mavs stick with the giants, this game might be about how well the Clippers make open three's. There might be more open three's than usual with the Mavs trying to take out the inside.

Clippers came into this game shooting 61% on 2PT field goals, so that's around 40% 3PT to match that efficiency, and that doesn't include more FT's being drawn from 2PT and fewer misses overall. RC might be taking away one and being willing to live with the other.

Really hating this game so far. Now Lue's blatant favoritism with Reggie is starting to bite us in the ass. :roll:

who should we start over Reggie at this point? PatBev? Rondo is doing fine running the second unit as is, against lesser competition

Don’t feel good even though it’s early

Carlisle so far made a good decision with that bigger lineup for sure, it makes the Clippers have to re-think what was working. The whole idea around the league is that you run off bigs like Boban with three's, so Carlisle seems to be saying, "I'll let you show me that you can beat us with the three's".

What a complete joke. Flagrant 1 on Morris for what? Getting shoved is a flagrant now?

So Luka is not going to miss tonight.

How many times will we let him wiggle free and shoot wide open?
-_-

Slow start again. This is just ridiculous.

Luka is only "hurt" when he plays bad. Such a fraud crybaby

Game 1 and 2 all over again, except it's Luka who can't miss instead of the role players. Can't believe I actually got fooled by the last two games. This team hasn't changed one iota. :noway:

damn luka. That's what I was worried about.

Nobody stopping Luka and they're playing a zone defense. So now what's the move going to be?

TheNewEra · Post #57 » by **TheNewEra** » Thu Jun 3, 2021 2:42 am

Tough decisions with going small being difficult with such big lineups

Quake Griffin · Post #58 » by **Quake Griffin** » Thu Jun 3, 2021 2:42 am

Exact worst way this could have started. Exact type of game this team and this franchise abhors.

Every big three every big "oooooohhh" in your own crowd. You can feel it.

Nut up Clippers. You need to answer the bell TONIGHT.

Luka suddenly turned into steph curry, its amazing. I think the lack of fans made him so efficient at staples.

at least it's only the first quarter. we have time to make up the gap. we aren't clutch, thank god it's not the fourth Q
