Game 18: Los Angeles Clippers (12-5) @ Dallas Mavericks (11-5) - 8:30 PM ET

[esqtvd]

Lou [plus+24] and Trezz [+19] do it again

Lou's D the best I've seen ever from him I think


Doncic has 22 but was 4-14 with 6 assists but 7 [!] turnovers
and most importantly minus-7
we beat 'em straight up as well as winning the battle of the benches

[NippySudz]

great win tonight.

PG was a plus 26 I believe. his 3pt shooting to start the game set the tone.

Doncic was getting a lot of calls from flopping just like Harden. Don't let the 22 points fool you

Great time to be a Clippers fan...

16 FTs

[Young Sterling]

In Kawhi's postgame interview, he mentioned the team can't wait to have Landry again. I think we all know what's gonna happen when Sham-wow gonna get those open looks. Hot damn!

I didn't see flops. dude was legit getting fouled. He earned his points tonight but the clippers slowed him down. Couldn't get into any rhythm. Put clamps on ole boy.

What was this all about??

Watch on YouTube

Ty Lue looked pissed lmao

[esqtvd]

we're up 16 b/c we're 10-22 from 3 [47%] so you can't count on that continuing

gotta do it with D

1-11 in the 2nd half LOL


but we held them to 38%/29%
our perimeter D has been great since PG joined the team

Dallas has been averaging 119 ppg
and 141 in their last 3 games
we kept 'em to 99
at home


scary

He was crying his azz off all game long. His solo/one man gang act isn't going to cut against a deep team like ours. We have too many bodies to throw at him all game long. I want to say Porzingis has fallen off but I wonder if his game is affected by Luka being so ball dominate and literally having the ball in his hands way too much. Hell of dominate win for us though. So many layers to this team. Kawhi, PG, Lou, Trez, and Zu is starting to look like a 'Great Value' Pau Gasol. If he keeps making strides on both ends of the court its a wrap.

Mavs had a winning streak coming in and hadn't scored less than 102 pts all season. However, the Mavs opponents this season are a combined 131-155 (46%). The opponents during the winning streak were 37-49 (43%).

Clips on the other hand: Opponenets on the season 159-145 (52%). A couple of our losses came when Kawhi sat.

10 of our 18 games were against teams currently in playoff spots. After last night, the Mavs are at 7. Miami and Denver are the only top 4 conference teams we have yet to play.

The Lakers opponents are 127-160 (44%). They have only played 7 of the 15 other playoff seeded opponents. They have yet to play MIL, BOS, DEN and HOU. They are doing this with AD and LeBron playing over 34.8 MPG.

Teams should be getting very nervous as we start to gel. We have no players over 32.2 MPG and we just destroyed the Mavs last night with Lou the only player over 30 minutes.

If not for our scrub unit giving up 11 pts in the last 3 minutes, the Mavs would have been in the low 90s.

The team looks great and its also obvious they're nowhere near where they could be by the end of the season. I love Harkless in the starting lineup and hope it stays that way when Shamet is back.

Agreed, we need to stagger our offensive players well. Starting unit with PG and Kawhi, enough offense there (Zubac gets a lot of easy buckets from Kawhi), and bench with Lou and Trezz, they attract most of the attention, so having Shamet open things up will be good.

Anyone who says Luka was flopping was clearly not watching the game. He earned every point.

I hate when people try to make up BS to put a narrative. I agree with you. Luka earned everything

i mean i think i recall him flopping in other games, but can't say for sure.

the only foul i saw that was wacky was when he hooked green's arm

Everyone flops. Every player even kawhi but it's BS to try to put a label on him as if he's some egregious flopper.

Trying to diminish Luka is BS. He didn't play well but the pts he had he definitely earned. Clippers made him earned that
