Considering that Harden is an even worse version of Luka that's a weird statement.

not by kleber but alot of other guys could've handled it.

You would root for him if he was playing for the Clippers and sad thing is you would actually enjoy it too.

Luka quit on a team. He has sometimes questionable behavior but today he plays like an entitled brat ...

They have great role players
-Zubac
-T Mann
- Powell
-Westbrook
-Harden

And their main guys Paul George and Kawhi Leonard

They play tough defense and can get hot just like any other team.

But their identity is defense

Don't do Harden like that. He's out of his prime but he's still their third best player. Second best on some nights.

That's his shot. Check his percentages from that spot

Oh, it was more catching that errant pass from Westbrook and still getting his feet set and knocking that down with a man on him.

He's always been a bit of a whiney baby. No shocker. :lol:

Clippers need to keep up for the next five minutes of the 4th so the Mavs waive the white flag.

No Kawhi, PG13 4/14 from the field and the Clips are still winning by 20. Not looking good for the Mavs.

it's crazy how much the mavs rely on a rookie center like lively to run their sets and to his credit, he's doing a really good job all things considered. he doesn't look like a scared rookie out there.

MAv's shooting will not be this bad next game.

Anyone comparing Luka to Jokic is out of there damn minds. Nobody is and it isn’t all too close either.

Getting blown out with no Kawhi. Looks really bad.
