PG and Kawhi are just a terrible fit together. It doesnt help that Kawhi cant dribble right now but they just dont play off each other well and the minute Westbrook left the offense just stalled. Its just a one on 5 offense and Mavs can rest on defense. No one attacking, no quick passes.

Terrible. Just another vintage playoff meltdown from our "stars" and coach.

PG is choke job. WTF was that shot. Our "stars" just gifted the Mavs the game even though the MAVS werent good in this game.

We started slowing it down too much with ISO's, it makes it so much easier for the Mavs to key in on D especially when the shot clock is winding down...if anyone is gonna ISO I would prefer Zu even if he's not shooting as well tonight.

Offense got super stagnant, even by this team's standard. Shooting 22% from 3s so far.

Beautiful slide into the paint by Zu.

What a letdown. Damn. Not a good feeling heading to Dallas.
Not sure what Lue can do from here.

That should end it. We bogged down on offense and got cold, but I feel we can actually fix some of these things. Let's get 1 in Dallas.

Lue can keep playing that (Please Use More Appropriate Word) Plumlee over Theis.

I don't know, man. Two of our "stars" are among the biggest choke artists in sports history, the other one is hobbled (but we still have to play through him anyway for the sake of his ego) and Lue is a terrible coach. It's just too much to overcome.

I guess I don't feel as bad as everyone else? This loss was tough, but we actually had a chance to close it there. I don't see anything that leads me to believe we can't get 1 back in Dallas.

They aren't a terrible fit at all, Kawhi is just not ready for playoff basketball right now. Hard to take three weeks off, do not contact then just jump into playoff basketball.
When last was Plumle even on the floor this game, 2nd quarter? HahaNickP wrote:KL2 wrote:What a letdown. Damn. Not a good feeling heading to Dallas.

LOL at Irving complaining about that call. It's not over!
Oh damn. When I saw the first replay, it looked like he swiped Kawhi's arm.

I thought he was ok on the defensive side all things considered.
But what to do offensively? He forced some shots and some usual makes were on the front rim. He hasn’t played in 3 weeks and needs rhythm. How do you do that without disrupting others?

He looked really flat on his 3's, he hits a couple of those and his numbers look much better. He was 7-17 and 0-5 from 3.
