Lue is a terrible coach who takes forever to adjust, so I wouldn't expect any answers tonight. He even predicted exactly what Carlisle would do and still went with the same gameplan as the last two games anyway. :nonono:

Not sure what Rondo was attempting there

It's the defense that's killing the Clippers more so right now than offense. Dallas shooting 58/60.

Carlisle took away the Clippers inside the arc game early, but Clippers have hit 5/10 from outside which is technically working very well vs a bigger lineup.

With the twin towers now, they are attacking and attacking, but they aren't getting any stops

Kawhi just scored his first field goal, no need for any panic...lol Mavs aren't blowing the Clippers out

it would be hilarious if the Mavs start to lose in the second half and Luka starts to grab his neck in pain

I think Luka will cool off in the second half like games 1 and 2. If we can keep the role players contained we will be okay.

I want to say Dallas can't shoot 55/55 all game, but this series has had a lot of special shooting games. RC confirmed that in the between quarter interview that with Boban he's living with the three's and trying to contain the paint.

It's still working...

I like trying to push and not have those big guys set up and waiting in the paint

If we play our game and execute our plays, it wouldn't matter if Luka is still hot or not, as long as KP plays like he is now

Zubac has essentially been a scoring non-factor in the series outside of game 1. He's already beat his pts totals from game 2 and 3 and 1 point away from his 5 points in game 4.

what a play by playoff Rondo
