Tie game. Just gotta keep the pressure up and execute.

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

I’m suggesting they are trying to force a game 7 but it seems like the refs got a when in doubt, favour the Clippers policy this game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….

Kidd - tell Luka to play pick and roll and go to the lane Everytime down and get the FTs or Dunks until the stop it…
No more step back 3s which let the clippers back in

Doncic has to keep shooting. It's important to his game.
But he has to make them.
And Kyrie has to appear.
With a normal game of those two these should be over.

How can you argue he broke basketball when he never even won a championship
The only argument for "breaking basketball" is that he took ref baiting to a completely different stratosphere. Fortunately that strategy has never worked in the playoffs.
imagine stanning heliocentric players like caitlin clark and luka but hating the actual pioneer of said style

Pressure is now back on the Mavs to close this out.
I'm not trying to see Harden and PG in the next round. These dudes are so laid back and they don't seem to play with any urgency. Boring duo.

Clippers established a level of physicality that allows them to get away with contact. Cannot foul out the entire team just because they are doing it on every single possession.
Mavs are getting called for touch fouls. The two decisions against DJJ changed the momentum and started the Clippers run.

Awesome you're playing defense now Ky, but you can't have 2 points.

How Westbrook sees himself on the court at this stage in his career.

Looks like the Mavs were playing more physical defense in that first half to me. They played pretty solid D all together. Luka chucking like 5 bricked 3s in a row might have ignited that run even more.

Why follow +/- it's a dumb statistic unless you're saying "they were -8 when [Player X] was off the court" when on the court it's just one of 5 guys.
