Clippers drop the first two, at home. Wow.

Clippers duck the Lakers just to go down 0-2 to Dallas

 

[The Night King]

Clips seem to be in some trouble.

No excuse to be down 2-0 to the Mavs. When you've got two of the best one-on-one defenders in the entire league, there's just absolutely no reason Doncic should be torching you like he currently is. There's a reason these guys are being paid the big bucks. Go play some defense. Stop being lazy and giving them the switch on the screens.

 

[Del Preston]

Where is Kawhi going after he opts out in July?

 

[Del Preston]

I used to be a big supporter of Lebron

but I can’t quite put a finger on exactly when it happened, but he just annoys the hell out of me lately. Especially this season.

that Chris Paul foul is like the culmination for me. Like he’s crying yet the replay showed he fell on the other arm? Like GFTOH dude.

It's not like the Blazers would have been a better alternative

Couldn't catch UTA/PHX for top 2 seed

Doncic is unguardable when he's on and he's big enough he can post up any wing defender the Clippers can throw at him including Leonard and George . You double him he's gonna find the pass . You put a big guy on him he'll take him off the dribble or take an open 3.



You're not stopping Doncic if he plays like this.

LA will always be a Laker town

Wow Lakers won last night

f*** yeah!!!

Exactly. Luka in the playoffs is even better than in RS. Superstar. Clippers are doomed

Best hope would be to double Luka constantly and hope the Mavs depth pieces stop shooting this well.

 

[Blitzkrug]

The Clippers are so dumb.

They willingly threw their last two games to avoid the Lakers in favor of...the team who probably would have beaten them last year if healthy.

Bunch of soft ass pansies afraid of a hobbled Lakers team

 

[Voight]

Doncic walking all over the CLOLippers.

 

[Power Man]

Next time Kawhi makes a big play, I wouldn't be surprised if two of his teammates ran up to him and took a selfie while the Mavs go the other way and get an easy basket. Bunch of losers IMO

 

[c9777666]

The Mavericks are going 1-on-5.

Dallas basically is Luka Doncic and a bunch of guys.

Basically they are the Oilers of basketball. Overly reliant on one player who is all offense.

If they split one of those last two games, it's not like the Blazers would have been an easy choice.

YOU AVOIDED THE LAKERS IN FAVOR OF DAME TIME

Plus, they couldn't get a top 2 seed since UTA/PHX locked those up even before the last 2 games

If he can't be stopped, how did Dallas not go 72-0?

 

[c9777666]

Doncic walking all over the CLOLippers.

He's basically McDavid- a 1 man show but in a playoff where the refs basically let great players actually do great things.

 

[serp]

If he can't be stopped, how did Dallas not go 72-0?

When he's on his game he can't be stopped . He's not allways at his best. ALso his teammates have to hit the open shots when he gets doubled. That isn't allways the case.

The Mavericks are going 1-on-5.

Dallas basically is Luka Doncic and a bunch of guys.

Mavs have the best player in the series and a much better supporting cast . Yeah Leonard and George are better than anyone not named Luka on the Mavs but who else do the Clippers have ? Who is the Clippers third best player ? Rondo ? Hardaway Jr. Porzingis , Brunson are better than all of the Clippers other players.

 

[c9777666]

Hardaway Jr. is basically in a contract year and playing above his capability to get overpaid

[Terry Yake]

still think the clippers will come back and win the series. they're just too good not to

but i do really question why they would want to avoid the lakers in round 1. the clippers ALWAYS take it up to 110% against the lakers and i have no doubt they would've beaten them in a 7 game series. could end up being a major disaster if the mavs do end up winning the series

The Clippers would have played the Blazers even if they won their last 2 or went 1-1

They could not catch UTA/PHX for top 2 seed
