Exum's shot has totally abandoned him.

The refs seem to favor the Clips heavily...some weak calls on the Mavs,meanwhile Harden and PG create separation by pushing the defender off with their arms

Best time to bet Dallas now; Mavs +1.5 in the live lines. Should be an easy win.

NBA want this series to go deep?


They do kind of need it too at this point or the first round is a total dud. The only series 2-2 right now is two teams no one pays attention to.

Pretty much all of realgm had Mavs/Thunder in the second round after game 3. I'm the only one I saw that said the series isn't over.

Alright Clippers. Super early of course but didn't expect them to come out like this. This series was starting to feel like a wrap.

I think referees will try to give win to Bucks today as well.

Yeah, Mavs are not making shots and Clippers are playing good offense.

But the refs have butchered this first quarter. It's so much easy to play with a net.

I really feel like there is a gap after OKC, Denver, and Minnesota from the rest of the teams in the west. People put Dallas and the Clippers in that mix but I don't think they are on the same level. I think seeds 4-8 are all of similar caliber and would all be pretty competitive but 1-3 would pretty much dominate all those other teams barring some bad matchups like healthy Pelicans and Timberwolves or Lakers and OKC. I think OKC would handle a health PElicans or this Mavs teams without too much trouble. I think the Timberwolves would hand the Lakers or this Mavs team without too much trouble.

I also think the Suns would have done a lot better against most of the teams 4-8 in a series. Maybe not won against most but it would have been more competitive.
