great game, still feels like the Mavs end up taking the series if KL is out the rest of the way

AKME got to go

Harden and Irving took over the 4th man. Was really cool to see.
And that PG 3 was insane.

Weak excuse. He's a choker.

Kidd overreacted to the Clips shotmaking and went small. If a team shoots 18-29 from 3, youre probably gonna lose. You still shouldnt give them a lay up line the entire 4th

Because he is a garbage player. Why is he still on the court when Lively and Gafford are rolling their thumbs on the bench?
This WOAT level coaching.

Game.
A good one too!
Congrats Clips. Hung on, after blowing a huge lead. Mavs lead briefly.
Series even at 2-2. back to LA with HCA.

If Dallas had a semi competent coach, they could win a title.
Jason Kidd is beyond terrible. Unbelievably bad coaching.

This is a nightmare scenario for the Clips. Kidd's idiotic coaching philosophies will lead Balmer to think of the inevitable series loss as a "moral win", leading to a Harden extension. Big yikes

Kidd is Dallas' Mark Jackson. They need a change quick.

Momentum favors Clippers. If this Harden shows up the rest of the series the Clippers might win it even without Kawhi.
Ya i dont think they continue to go bonkers from 3, and i think thats really their only avenue of winning. I also can never trust Harden in a do or die game

Props to Lue to settle the ship after that Irving bucket. Harden seemed calm and locked in to run the offense.

The Clippers could be scary if Kawhi could just stay healthy.
Games like this shows you just how much talent they have. PG/Harden both played like superstars tonight. Even without Kawhi this series is tied.
