Luka & Kyrie vs. PG & Harden

A fierce battle between pairs of HOFers.

I said the losing coach of this series would get fired. Now only Kidd would cause Lue can blame Kawhi again

He did this last year. He just can’t do it consistently anymore.

He’s trying to not pick up his 6th foul.

Been doing that for multiple games?


His defense has been awful this quarter but you clearly haven’t been watching this series. He was the best defender in the court in game 2.

I think Mavs win in 6, but this was a great signature game from Harden. Could see Clips in 7 if Luka is seriously injured for the rest of the series tho

The basketball world tends to categorize 2016 as partially being a Warriors choke, but we underestimate how incredible a prime LeBron and prime Kyrie were together. They deserve to be mentioned with the top duos ever.

Kidd deserves to be fired the second this game is over for allowing easy layups with no bigs out there.

I've never been so mad at a game in my entire life. Kidd is the dumbest coach I've ever seen in my life.

Good thing Lue benched Westbrook.


Clippers weren't going to win this game with him on the floor.

unbelievably, the Clippers will pull this game off, but they don't seem to have the strength to do it twice more, Mavs are looking much better at this moment.
