ROUND 1, GAME 5: Mavericks @ Clippers 7:00PM 6/2/2021

[Captain Ballmer]

I'm not watching game 6. I can't do this to myself anymore. Go clippers but I can't watch.

Even if they win Game 6, they'll just choke Game 7 anyway. This team is **** pathetic.

Dallas won't lose the next one. They've seen all our cards and made adjustments. We're done!!

Nope. If Kawhi played just a little better than this, we'd won. He didn't have to play like game 2-4, just a little smart and careful.

[Max Headrom]

As much as I love Mann, this is why he can't close. That was such a dumb play to pass it to Batum which could've easily been stolen

[MartinToVaught]

Even if somehow we win this series, we'll get swept by the Jazz.

At this point, I'd rather just lose this series. That at least might force some actual major changes, such as firing the entire front office. We clearly didn't change enough from last season.

Mann did well overall, but that play where he passed to Batum was certainly an inexperienced player move. Didn't really know what he wanted to do, and Batum bailed him out, wish Batum had made that though.

That last play was just sickening.

Rondo was trash. Kawhi 1/7 from 3PT range and being a turnover machine was the sucky aspect of his game tonight. Paul George was similarly a turnover machine, but played much better overall. Now they have to win two in a row. 2015 Clippers did it vs the defending champ Spurs, sooo...let's see what they have.

The pass was tough for sure. He got up in the air not necessarily knowing what he wanted to do. Should have passed back to George. And yes, that was definitely a showing of inexperience.

[Quake Griffin]

do we think we can win the next two?

Can? Yes.

Will we? No. This is a mentally weak team and they're an exhausting follow. It's not fun. It's not thrilling. It's just depressing and it's embarrassing.

I'm pretty much over the act at this point. Wins in game 6 and 7 are not gonna make me happy. This is bull **** and we shouldn't be going through this as fans to begin with.

[Quake Griffin]

Yep.

We aren't beating the Jazz.

[Scoundreldays]

Wow glad I had some family stuff to do. We lost but my mental health is much happier since I was not able to watch.

[Quake Griffin]

What did Rondo say to Kawhi on that airball?

[LamarWho]

I'm not watching game 6. I can't do this to myself anymore. Go clippers but I can't watch.

I didn't watch game 7 vs. Denver last year for the same reason. Just didn't feel like torturing myself anymore. I sure made the right decision.

Terrance Mann wtf you doing smh

That was such a bad decision in that moment, wow, but Batum did recover it, and, well...didn't work out

Facts.. you gotta throw the fanbase a bone at least every once in a while. Absolutely ridiculous. I'm exhausted with this team and don't even want to deal with a game 6 and possibly a game 7

[TheNewEra]

Think about it we lost our starting/backup C and our starting PG in the series for multiple reasons

[Max Headrom]

Kawhi better score 50 next game to make up for how terrible he was this game. Can't play this bad with a chance to go up in the series

[MartinToVaught]

I'm exhausted with this team and don't even want to deal with a game 6 and possibly a game 7

And all that just for the grand prize of... getting swept by the Jazz in round 2. It's not even worth it.

[LamarWho]

I'll be rooting for my boy Lou Will and the ATL against my favorite coach next round. So at least I still have something to look forward to.

It’s amazing because it looks like he was set on passing it no matter what the situation when he left his feet. Surprised himself being that open

[Quake Griffin]

how long have you been a clipper fan? not to slander you in anyway, purely out of curiosity.

I understand him bro.

Like I said. The act isn't cute any more. It's not endearing. It's not fun.

You put up one of the biggest choke jobs in NBA history last year. You fire your coach. You spend the year talking about changing the little things. You swear things are going to be different and they're not. Still the same chokes they were last year. The losses we are taking are choking losses. This isn't some beautiful back yard brawl slobber knocker of a series that people can't take their eyes off of. It's just, "are the Clippers gonna embarrass themselves tonight or nah?...oh, they didn't in Games 3 or 4".

The fans deserve better.

Pretty sure I'll still watch but I don't blame him.

In real time, it looked like he ended up under the rim and didn't have a good angle for a layup after adjusting to the initial defender

[TucsonClip]

Clippers are 3-6 in series with a game 5 loss over the last 10 years.

Meaning the Clippers have lost game 5 nine times. 2-2 in 7 games series when losing game 5.
