That elderly fan on the floor behind the basket upper left corner will get a heart attack till end of this game, just saw him flopping his legs and box punching air in the same time.

Luka needs to take step back free throws :lol:

19/2/3 on 8/6 FG and 4/6 FT

Kawhi: 13/1/1/1 on 5/6 FG

It's a game 7 right? :lol:

73 point quarter. I'm amazed a team that a team that looks like it would be built on absolutely suffocating defence, doesn't play good defence.

Luka and Kawhi start off hot. Doncic with 19 first quarter points and could have easily ended up with 20+ but missed 2 free throws with 30 seconds left. Kawhi with 13.

Luka and bunch of nobodies....he will need to go 50+ for them to even stand a chance.

They need THJ to be fine and score

And then they need *this* guy to drop 50...

So Luka might actually go for 50 afterall, and it likely won't be enough if the clippers stay hot from 3

The clippers are hitting everything at the moment. Dallas need to try to contest the Clippers' threes better, and hope the Clippers start to cool off. If they keep hitting at this rate, there's no way for Dallas to win, even if Doncic keeps this up.

Thats just mean. Surely his shooting is not bad enough for that. ;)
Funnily enough, the Wolves when healthy are one of the few teams that really don't need to add scorers and could ship some away. With Russell, Towns and Edwards the offensive rating is over 120 points. :p

In fact, given how stellar the jazz offence is and how mediocre the mavs D, luka could average 50 in that series(and he absolutely could, Jazz don't have the perimeter defenders to throw at him, unlike the clippers) and it would still end in a gentleman's sweep

Clippers by simple fact they're the better team. Mavs would need Luka to remain superhuman
Don't see either Clippers or Mavs having any chance v Jazz. Jazz are just a super team with so many offensive threats.

Because he can't. Look at the +/- in the series with/without him...
well he has to rest him at one point before the end so it makes little difference when it is. Now he has a big deficit and a tired Doncic on low confidence as he kept him on the floor and he kept making poor decisions. Game over :(

Games gone now. Embarrassing, braindead offense from Trey Burke on the past two possessions, Luka is fecking gassed right now.

Luka's teammates have let him down completely.

If he takes him out for even 2 minutes by the time he's back they're down 25...

THJ and DFS have had big games and come up with clutch plays here and there, but make no mistake, this series hasn't been clippers vs mavs, it's been clippers vs doncic. It's LeBron on those early cavs. Or LeBron on his last cavs...

i agree, mavs are shocking but this tactic didnt worked either....at least give him 2 minutes out to calm a bit, he was on the floor but it was pretty much Mavs without Doncic so you gained absolutely nothing.

Literally can't afford it. Mavs need Doncic to be superhuman for 48 minutes tonight given how well the clippers shot the 3

I read an article not long ago about the Hawks having a couple of large bets placed on them to win it all after a very impressive run full of wins near the end of the season. Vegas had shortened the odds significantly, that’s really looking like a brilliant bet right now!

If Harden is out you have to like the Hawks chances, and either way it’sa great bet at whatever the long odds were, I want to say more than 100-1 at the time.

Nah. Hawks aren't getting past the Sixers, Simmons will take over Trae duties and the hawks won't always score 20 3s...but even if they do, there's the still the Nets. Who are simply too talented even without the beard to not win the east

Yea LeBron in his second Cavs stint, after Kyrie left, is what this is reminding me of. He has to be main scorer and playmaker without any offensive help, which LeBron atleast got from Kyrie.
