Clippers lucky like a boxer on the ropes at the end of a round. Mavericks are like 3-4 minutes from blowing this open.

Jones could've tried to grab that WB shot attempt instead of swatting it OOB, he had enough hangtime

no, u just don't understand the defintion of "shooting motion", the initial gather is considered part of the "shooting motion", the shooting motion starts with the gather not with the actual motion to shoot

gather = shooting motion and Luka clearly gatherd prior to the strip attempt

Clips are playing 4 vs 5 on offense as Westbrook doesn't need to be guarded outside of the paint lol.

So thankful he isn't on my team no more

It's not all about scoring as he is setting everyone up for open shots. They just need to make em.

Loved the pace For the mavs and clippers played too slow.
This game will be close and it will be about who executes better.

Look at the replay again... Luka clearly STOPS once he gets fouled and loses the ball... then he begins his actual shooting motion again.

You can create a thread with a poll to debate this but I think you'd lose lol

If Kidd says no more 3s just take them apart slowly this game over -

The Mavs are actually more athletic at every position in the front court
