The Clippers are the ultimate proof why Rim Protection is 10x more valuable than Perimeter D. If Jokic murdering Zubac & Harrell last season wasn't already proof of that then Luka forcing the switch and abusing favorable matchups is.

Players like Capela, Gobert, Bam, AD, Giannis are far more valuable on defense than the likes of Jrue, Kawhi, PG etc

A lot of y’all nikkas owe LeBron James an apology. 2-3 years ago y’all was saying Kawhi is better than LeBron. Best team in LA before they even played a single game and all that hot shyt. Run that ECF game 7 a few years ago back and Philly wins 7 times out of 10. We not even gonna bring up if the Dubs had KD and Klay healthy that year…

All that fake “anti hero” love thrown in the bushes just like that. I hope the those cacs sweep these bum ass nikkas b.

The clippers get hit in their face and get shell shocked. Kawhi is a elite 2 way player but he has not been a guy you can hand the ball to and say give me a bucket and that is what the clippers need down the stretch of games. And pg13 just fades

But last night it was about no other clippers stepping up and doing anything on either side of the ball. They are not locking anything up and they are not putting any pressure on the mavs they getting anything they want. Luka is literally out there having fun.

nikkas chilling and smoking hella weed out there, because there is no sense of urgency in them. How you have 2 top 10 perimeter players on ya team and the both of them don’t want to stick a chubby white boy. Absolutely embarrassing. Jimmy would never…

I think it's fair to say the Mavs are the Clippers boogy team and let's be honest, the Mavs were going to win last year until KP got injured. On paper the Clippers have the players that should be able to limit Doncic but this constant switching is fukking them up. The whole hype of Kawhi and PG was they are the best two way wings in the league. It's time they stick one (preferably Kawhi) on Doncic for the whole game otherwise this series is done.
:mjlol:

You can’t put Kawhi on Luka the whole game are you crazy??

You're not wrong. Kawhi at no point in time was ever better than LeBron, Durant, or Curry. It was a narrative created out of media boredom and pushed hard due to KD and Curry's injuries last year forcing the "need" for a superstar of LeBron's stature to keep things interesting.

Great player. One of the best. He just was never "The Rival" to LeBron like the media tried to make it seem.

Yep, said the same thing
Don't ever compare Kawhi to LeBron ever again, these nikkas ain't winning no chip. nikkas was gassed off a Toronto chip vs an injured GS team, we ain't forget:mjlol::umad:

Exactly running from him and the entire team watching the luka coronation.

The best defense is to make luka play defense. If he running around because they picking on him on defense luka gets out his game.

But the truth is luka is clearly the best player in that series and they are at his mercy. But the clippers have a deeper team and everyone should be stepping up but they not. Mavs role players stepping up.

All facts. A lot of these guys ran with that narrative simply because they hate LeBron. I mean it’s only 2 games in, they can definitely turn things around. But based on what we’ve seen from them 2 playoff years in a row now, I am skeptical. LeBron never lost a first round series :sas2:

I also think the flow of the game is wrong for the clippers.

Kawhi needs to settle to maybe having only 10-15 pts for the first 3 quarters and stick to luka like glue. Then in the 4th kawhi needs to put the team on his back because the clippers don't have a closer. Playoff p ain't it.

Sounds good

The only problem is the team as a whole is shooting over 60%. They can’t stop the leaking overall. Kawhi has to fight over/thru screens at all cost with Luka during the course of the game but that turn it on shyt works when the game is close. The Clippers are doing all they can to score with these guys. Waiting until the 4th for buckets if you’re down 18 isn’t going to help
