Some really dubious officiating in this last 3 minutes of game time.

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

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


Should have just stood pat with their opening day roster

Doris Burke sounds like a dumbass Mavs homer. Everything the Mavs do is perfect and brilliant. Clippers come down from 13 down and “it’s a little run by the Clippers” lol.

Clips were down almost the entire 1st half, until that bucket. Clips now with the lead.

Nice steal and layup Harden.

Could someone tell me what is painted under each basket supposed to be? I can't figure it out and is very distracting. It doesn't look like a horse.

Why are people crying refs? Jones clipped his foot on the screen. Even the Mavs broadcast is agreeing :lol:

If I’m not mistaken, Dallas was in the bonus quicker in this quarter as well

Mavs look shellshocked. Luka's bricks killed all the energy in the building
