Preach it Doris!!!

[blueberrysticky]

lol how was that a foul on derrick hahahahahhah

[SportsGuru08]

hes supposed to be the 3rd best player on the team and he has completely outplayed PG in this series

Which has nothing to do with my question.

yes it does.... Hes in a role bigger than they needed him for and he still won them 2 games. They were in desperate need of playmaking and once they got clicking they looked dominant. You dont need your 3rd best player to show up every game

Doesn't change the fact that he's a perennial choke artist, which completely validates my question.

[Nate505]

That was a marginal moving screen.

[Doranku]

Playoff P really just drew a foul on his own guy who was fresh off getting away with a moving screen

[Enso]

Totally agree-

He has to know that what Luka is doing right now isn’t championship ball but if it’s working he doesn’t interrupt… if they need him he takes over.

Definitely playing the yoda role

Next series I expect a more balanced attack from dalla when they face a real team

Kyrie had a comment that he thinks he’s matured a lot in the last couple years and I think you can see that.

Completely agree

I think it's cause he reached level 3 consciousness in the Kabbalah

[Mrakar]

I got receipts with people saying Embiid was the problem, and Morey too. Clearly the moment is too big for Harden, and he's washed.

Who is the problem? Brunson for sure didnt have top tier teammates in this series...

They had an injury free star and excellent role players who were elite rebounders and shot the **** out of the ball. Something the Sixers didn't have.

[KyRo23]

NBA can't admit they missed a call.

Never. Their inability to change a call highlights how much a ref can influence a game…

Idk man, I’ve seen the reverse a TON of calls

[ejftw]

The Draymond Green screen

[Mk0]

lmao Mann with the illegal screen on PG but the call is on DJJ
lame

[CobraCommander]

Luka launching 11.4 threes a game at 26% and that's before his 0-6 and counting tonight. Stop. Shooting. 3s.

I agree, he was 38% for the regular season.

The clippers are not making them pay

[Walmart]

Refs trying to extend the series.

[nikster]

Which has nothing to do with my question.

I kinda adressed that. What kind of move do you think they should have made?

[blueberrysticky]

mann moving screen + paul george runs into mann

refs "yeah thats' a foul on derrick"

[TheBullsDynasty]

2 absolutely atrocious foul calls against Derrick Jones Jr. The refs are really trying hard to keep Clippers in the game but come on

[SportsGuru08]

Frankly, the Clippers are lucky it's only a 6 point game.

[zonedefense]

Mavs are getting screwed. At least make it less obvious. Clippers can foul their own guys and get calls.

[Enso]

Part of me wants to see game 7 but part of me wants to see the Clips have a major shake up so some of their guys end up on other teams.

Imagine they blow it up and have a lottery team in the new arena lol

[ChipotleWest]

Mavs have gone to sleep, 14 pts this quarter less than 2 minutes left.

[Doranku]

13 point lead to a tie game without a single timeout called.
