Correct. I'm asking do you think it's effecting him on the court or do you think he's just missing shots?

I have my opinion. Just seeing what everyone else thinks.
Yes, it's a big issue.

I had a similar injury a couple of weeks ago. You can play with it but you are severely limited. Certain head movements put a spasm in your back and arm. Luka is tough, he will play through it but he will be hurting.

Dang. A 3 from Burke there would of been nice.

Still in a series where both teams have gone an entire have shooting 65+%, a 16 point lead isn't safe. Our 19 point lead wasn't safe last game.

Dear God, can we please find someone to play defense on Kawhi OR PG? At this point, I'll take just shutting one of them down. Please stop one of them!

DFS has been such a disappointment in the playoffs so far. THJ has been a no show 2 games in a row. Pretty funny after the discussion about him being a great 2nd option. It looks like he'll always never have consistency.

The Mavs will look like absolute fools in the future if they give THJ money. A streak shooter who plays broomstick defense.

And DFS is a bench player. He’s not going to make some giant leap next year. The Mavs keep on waiting around for that to happen and it never will.

No way this team can win against Clips, we can't guard a chair.

Ooooh Chuck just making one of his predictions the Mavs won't win another game. Basically just assured the Mavs one more win in this series. Chuck can't win a bet to save his life lol!

Hes not make or break at all there are plenty cheaper options that can replace him

My love/hate relationship with THJ continues. Today, I hate him. They need to replace him with someone more consistent.

We are severely lacking in the ability to protect the rim. The Clippers can drive to the rim at will.

I don't want to beat a dead horse, and this isn't really the right thread for it, but give me Duncan Robinson > THJ.

Duncan Robinson will space the floor for Luka. Luka had a couple times in the 1H he could have gone to KP for a Pick n Pop when KP was open. But he didn't because he doesn't trust KP. Not the way KP has been shooting in this series. Duncan Robinson is a pure shooter, and Luka can trust him. I think that'll make a difference, if we're fortunate enough to get Duncan.

Say it one time for the people in the back. Preach!

This is why the Clippers ducked the Lakers. They get layup drills when they face the Mavs

DJ_3_Ball · Post #75 » by **DJ_3_Ball** » Mon May 31, 2021 3:12 am

I need to see Brunson out there. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a whole new 5. Send a message. Pick up the effort guys this is the PLAYOFFS!!!

XTraderXL · Post #76 » by **XTraderXL** » Mon May 31, 2021 3:13 am

This game is over. RC should bench Luka, rest him for the next game.

leolozon · Post #77 » by **leolozon** » Mon May 31, 2021 3:14 am

Alright, I can't watch anymore. They look like the worst team in the league right now which is typical of them and why I wasn't that excited after the first two wins. It wasn't one of those situations were the team who goes 2-0 is winning the series 93% of the time. I was only giving them around 75% to win even up 2-0.

Can you believe the team was up 19 in the first quarter of game 3? And RC had to sit Luka.

I won't get over that one easily.

Oh well, let's hope Luka's injury disappears and the role players show up again.

DJ_3_Ball · Post #78 » by **DJ_3_Ball** » Mon May 31, 2021 3:14 am

Are the Mavs intentionally avoiding passing the ball to KP??? He has 1 3pt attempt. He looks good. Stroke looks great and he's been wide open at least 12 times so far with no passes. Get KP the ball & let him rip it! (and you won't hear me say that too often, but right now is the time for it)

Another guy not worth the money.

1 dimensional player who can be figured out very easily.

I'm glad you don't work in the Mavs front office. That's a horrible take.
