At this time of the year, the only players that are 100% healthy are some sitting at the end of the bench.

Weak excuse. He's a choker.

Luka a choker? :lol: Now I know you dont watch instead look at box-score


Got outplayed by Harden. He's supposed to be the best player on the court. if the Mavs go on to lose this series this would be the game to look at. Kyrie gave it his all, Luka shot poorly and didn't match him.

Its so obvious that the Clippers should move on from Kawhi but he’s got the rest of the league scared to trade for him and Ballmer seems in denial or something.

Happy this team didn't fulfill the expectations of the monumental mental collapse that was impending once again. lol

The quality of coaching difference in this game was very obvious. Lue is consistently underrated as a coach while Kidd is correctly rated as a bad coach.

Kidd isn’t a bad coach - he is the worse coach

Mavs can't take advantage of Kawhi being out...2 games now....probably going to end up being 3 games.

well Shai and Jdub were injured at the end of the regular season and Chet looked tired. Can't complain if they get some extra rest in a potential 7 games series between LAC/Dallas though :)

Harden sounded pretty confident there.
