I am no fan of refs but I feel like reffing this game they should get some kind of hazard pay bonus with all the constant complaining and crap they have to deal with.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Luka can't buy a FG

This feels like 85% of all Mavs offensive possesions this series.

Luka attacks the paint, kicks it out to 3 point shooter, brick.

Luka does that 1,000x more than Russ.

Not exactly the same thing but I think Luka has better court vision.

If Dallas's shooting gets to only normal standard, they might go all the way....but shooting that badly is not going to cut it against the likes of Denver or Boston....and it's not even like this bad shooting is necessarly due to some incredible defense by Clippers

There's complaining and there's yelling, Russ was yelling at the refs.

Every time the Mavs have won the 1st quarter they've won the game in this series.

Kyrie has only taken one shot. Watch him go for 12-15 in the second quarter.

The day the Mavs get some consistent shooting and keep up this current Defense. It’s over
