Luka was trash this game but Kidd murdered us to end the game.

At this time of the year, the only players that are 100% healthy are some sitting at the end of the bench.

The last guy

Luka complaining to the refs more than playing the game.

It’s Luka…. I’m done not trusting him. He gonna end up with 30 or 40 points - Kyrie is yoda and Luka is the choosen 1….

I rejected the truth for a long time but Luka is even Luke or Annikan… either way he is the choosen one…

I already put the hundo down… if I hit … see you at the bar and the drinks on meeeee

This is the only real big two in the playoffs

There are more complete teams but these two are two all world players in their prime

What did I tell yall

Damn homie spoke too soon.

Props to Dallas for fighting back, but a combination of a hurt Luka and Kidd at the helm isn't going to drag you over the finish line

The quality of coaching difference in this game was very obvious. Lue is consistently underrated as a coach while Kidd is correctly rated as a bad coach.

This litterally needs to be the first 10 questions kidd gets in the post game press conference.


Honest to God that answer should be fascinating.


Because they weren't even passing Kleber to shoot 3s, so what's the point of sacrificing rim protection?

A heathy clippers team and Lue would be legit trouble for the rest of the league. Hopefully they run it back next year

I still got Mavs in 6, but this could easily be another 7 gamer.

Kyrie should be missing the second free throw there, especially with no TO's

Glad this might go 7. Most of the series kind of suck.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

You have to look at the other side too. This is a Kawhi-less clipper team for a big chunk of the series. They weren't 100% either.
