i hear you ,he better hit the gym n shoot 100s of them

but i think we al know when the momentum started to shift

as soon as that silly old school coach decided to take him out, not once but twice!!!

the first time was straight stupid

30 -11 as soon as he came off the offense died n they caught up

//

I wanna see dwight powell next game, him n luka have a nice understanding
Rick Carlisle hasnt won a playoff game series in 10 years

and this dumb shyt is gonna keep him from winning this series

same shyt Budenholzer got cooked for, not giving his best player extended mins

Dallas can score. We need defense. Start Richardson

Can't win a game nor series giving up nearly 60% from the field, the entire game
Yeah but up to this point that hasn’t occurred. You don’t start drastically changing off one loss especially as it wasn’t a blow out .

You’re solely thinking from a starter to starter line up . At some point bench players come in & minutes get staggered . Richardson starting is not the answer.

One thing about luka is he shows up for big games. Avg 36 last year in playoffs and 39 this year Jesus Christ.

The mavs could really use a playmaker that can also create his own shot

When luka goes to the bench(which should happen rarely in the playoffs) kristaps supposed to be the 2nd best player but blends into the background too much. Dude is 7'3 with steph curry range ffs
Jalen Brunson but I don’t know why Rick didn’t play him more

he really needs to be fired

Lue may have cracked the code

- As long as KP is in the game start small. Whether he shoots well or not is of no consequence. They’ll ALWAYS be at a negative on defense with him which is what matters most.

- If they go with WCS or Dwight Powell they’ll be certain instances where you can double Luka with the shot clock running down as they aren’t offensive threats

- Clippers are either bigger, faster or more athletic at every position so continue to drive & kick

- Luka is yet to have a normal/bad game

- The Mavs are yet to have a bad 3 point shooting game

I always thought the Mavs for all their offensive prowess’s didn’t have an adjustment to make with their limited roster

We’ll see

And luka is still clearly a level better
Kawhi is averaging 34 PPG on 72 TS%, Luka is averaging 38 on 61 TS% :manny:

That isn't a "level better"

Kawhi's also crushing everyone not named James Harden in all the impact metrics

Mavs are basically white version of Rockets, all they do is jacking up threes, if that shyt is falling then yeah they not that easy to stop

I wouldn't be surprised if they tie the series next game
Curse the coach who introduced a team attempting 35 plus threes a game. Carlisle never was that type of coach either. Dennis Finney-Smith and Kleber hoisting up threes in fast breaks made me ill. Tim Hardaway has an open lane to the basket but decides to chuck up a three and bricks it.
