2024 NBA Playoffs - West 1st Round: #4 Los Angeles Clippers vs #5 Dallas Mavericks (DAL WINS 4-2)

Jesus, Gafford!!!!!!

[The Rainmaker]

Zubac got bullied.

[ejftw]

Mann and PG passing up floaters like that is insane

[rockmanslim]

Mavs two big guns are gun shy

[GSP]

Kleber being out for the rest of the game is big...........could loom in the 4th quarter specially hes been clutch and big late in this series. Mavs more comfortable switching everything w/ him compared to their other bigs too

[Lunartic]

Obvious offensive foul

[og15]

Ask the refs

Dallas shot 40/25 and missed 6 of their 19 first half FTA, that's why it was tied, not "the refs".

It is fine. You are absolutely right. There were no dubious calls at all which caused a momentum shift. None at all.

Yea, it was the Paul George foul where Mann hit him that caused the momentum shift which caused Dallas to miss a lot and Luka to go like 0/7 3PT in the first half.

[Zeno]

Damn maybe no more shots of the crowd

[GSP]

"Once again Mavs defense leading to offense"

Harden blows by Luka like a traffic cone

[KyRo23]

Mann and PG passing up floaters like that is insane

This is what I’m saying. PG has gotten to the middle of the lane every time but would rather take a fadeaway jumper

[rockmanslim]

On that Gafford dunk Zubac got penalized for not flopping. That's just morally wrong

[ejftw]

Back to not boxing out and turnovers.

[GSP]

Clips will go on a run if Powell comes in for Pj Imo

[Mamba Mentality]

Zubac getting manhandled.

[Chuck Everett]

This is why we need to get rid of the play-in. The only reason why PJ and Gafford were traded was because their respective teams were so far out of the race they preferred picks than vets they couldn't use. If you're not going to get rid of the play-in, the NBA needs to move the trade deadline back to March 1st.

I mean, I have no issues with the call.

But Zu has been getting hit like that and worse with no whistle. Just need to be consistent

He had a great Game 5 with 5 3 pointers but outside of that he hit 2 in one game and 1 in every other game. He doesn't give any more offense than 3's, and on defense we got the two bigs we'll be fine.

[NBA4Lyfe]

The only thing he pioneered is that massive beard to cover that ugly mug of his.

steph currys imfluence and impact is overrated

literally no player emulates him.. not even trae

Maybe because he's the greatest 3 point shooter in NBA history, no one can emulate that.

greatest shooter whatever who cares

harden introduced deceleration and the stepback

ray allen and reggie miller had curry style long before curry won a ring with it

look at the current nba, who would you say has had more influence on the modern game

On replay my first thought was: "If he'd have flopped that would've been an offensive foul"
My second thought was: "Eww"

Well those who think harden is the GOAT don't, so you. I haven't seen any others on this forum.
