Westbrook with the same pouting like Luka after a teammate didn't catch his pass

Plumlee has been atrocious out there. Watching him move off the ball, his body language in the huddle

We're gonna have a convo about Kawhis team defense one of these days. Not the 1st time he was out and his team completely dominated on defense without him. One time against Harden lol they won't by like 40 the Spurs did

ESPN audio is so **** trash. It's slightly ahead of the game so I hear the dumbass announcer's reactions before seeing the result of the shot.

15 point game, thats like a 7 point deficit in the early 2000s. We got a game here.

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


I hated Houston era Harden because of how he was trying to play the refs to draw extra points every possession. He doesn't compare to Luka's temper tantrums.

LUKA 3!!!

If the Mavs can get this down to 10 with over 5 min left they got a chance.

With Luka and Kyrie, 15 points is nothing.

On one hand, Clippers win this game and I expect game 2 to be an absolute war.

If the Mavericks were to somehow come back and win this game, they might sweep the Clippers it would be so demoralizing.

This is pretty scary for the Clippers right now. Time for George and Harden to make some plays.

harden had 45 and won in boston game 1 last year. how did that series go? the scenario i presented is that if the mavs win game 2, then that means they split on the road...which is no different than them winning game 1 and losing game 2.
