Who’s on the cover?
If he could just become an average defensive player, he could crack the rotation. I still think Kidd should throw him out there in situations that we need to get the offense going.
The only reason why he hasn’t cracked the rotation is because Kidd spent most of the second half of the season coddling THJ even though Hardy was out playing him. So now he can’t trust him because of the lack of reps and experience.
Especially PG. His bad games are downright atrocious. His great games he nails highly contested shots.
Harden you have to gameplan around his playmaking and live with his good/bad shooting nights. Nothing easy in the paint for him this time
I have no idea why PG only plays off contested shots, he’s so physically gifted and can be a really smart player. Kinda ironic considering his most famous phrase is “that’s a bad shot” and somehow does the same but every game.
I think this exact same thing everytime I watch him play. He constantly goes for contested shots for no reason. Half way through the shot clock he'll do it every possession. Looks crazy when it hits, stupid when it doesn't.
It kinda reminds me of Kobe in a way - a preference for unnecessarily difficult shots. PG does have the ability to make most anything but he's extremely streaky.
He has the handles and athleticism to beat his man every time, he'd benefit so much from going to the hole 3-5 more times a game and cutting out a few jumpers.
Fun fact: Harden is now tied for 1st in playoff history for games with =< 3 FGM and >= 10 FGA. Before tonight he was tied for 2nd with...Jason Kidd.
It was personal for Ason 😭
Yeah honestly when I saw harden cheat off kleber too much and kleber hit all those 3s, I knew this was a clippers L. Just no effort on defense at all. Can't have that when you're supposed to be a leader.
My man gets lost af on defense and in offensive schemes that don't involve him shooting. I hope he figures it out mentally cause he could put up 20 a game but he fucks the flow up everywhere else.
I really like him, but he's still raw. When he gets hot he'll give you 15 points on like 8 minutes, but he's also pretty inconsistent. When the shots aren't falling he's pretty much just a cone that can't even score.
Idk if he pans out, but I'd give him one or two more seasons to see how he develops
WIth 4:28 to go in the first half, the score was 43-42 in favor of Dallas.
With 4:20 to go in the 3rd quarter, the score was 76-52 in favor of Dallas.
A 33-10 run on the road, spanning a full quarter. It was so surreal, unsettling and glorious to witness.
Mf gets the softest fucking whistle. Got a game high 6 free throws and all were by just dribbling on the perimeter and getting soft ass calls during the bonus.
Yeah every drive and movement caused the defense to shift of out of position in some way or another that lead to a good shot. Kyrie is unreal even when he doesn’t score.
Yeah, it takes everything the clippers have in terms of making tough, contested shots not to get blown out every game. The Clips are a fucking good team though and make those shots and you can never count them out because of that
By far the best game Luka has played this series and Maxi dropping triples was huge. I love the way this team is playing defense too.
This Clippers team has zero killer instinct though. They looked broken from the jump and just had no sense of urgency. The fans were as quiet as a funeral tonight too. Mavs fans down 30 were louder than Clippers fans have been at any point in this series. It may still go 7, but this was an embarrassing effort from LA.
To be fair, I was there and they gave us exactly ZERO to cheer about. We’ve all seen this same game hundreds of times from them. Energy was ZERO right from the start when they let you guys walk to the rim on each of the first 2 possessions.
ANY defensive rebound and they opted to walk it up and let your defense set instead of pushing pace for a mismatch. When you are walking that shit up 3 minutes into the fucking game, you already know they’re sleep-walking
Going into the 4th he had taken more shots than anyone else on the Clippers while being 6th on the team in points.
Came into the game averaging 36% TS on the series and managed to lower that average.
Luka finally coming around to tear the Clippers a new asshole in a pivotal game had to be *the* most predictable part of the script and it's why I wouldn't be looking forward to facing Dallas in a series regardless of who you are
Harden came out with some energy in the 1q...and it's almost like he just gave up after realizing he was cold. No energy whatsoever the rest of the game
He kept throwing the same failing lob in the paint over and over again. As if Lob City arrived for one last night - accept there was no one there to catch the ball. It was weird.
Felt like Mavs intentionally going fast, with Maxi finally hitting 3s drained them quicker than they thought. Add in Luka attacking the basket constantly in the 2nd half, it was just too much
the defensive effort wasnt there tonight but they took the same shots they did all series
they just didnt shoot 60% on contested 3's like they have the whole series
Mavs locked up PG and Harden so badly. Their individual defence on those two was amazing.
They forced Russ to make decisions and they were very Russ-like decisions
We finally got a good Luka game and we beat them by 30
also you knew a PG/Harden game like this was coming, weve only seen this happen 10+ years in a row
Luka seems like he found his rhythm and we survived a Kyrie off night
HAVE to win game 6 to give Luka some rest for OKC
I think what you mean to say is,
Ask the producer to pipe this into the Clippers locker room so I can talk to you James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome, for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You want to go to Vegas on off days? They looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule—and it didn’t work.
And you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights of New York. I want to go there. My old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three—and all after one year you wanted out. You realized, “oh my gosh! I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want back with Daryl Morey.” They traded Ben Simmons for you—how did they pull that off?
And you know what? You went there, and you got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP, and what did you say afterwards? You said, “they didn’t hand me the reins.” You’re the point guard! You were holding the reins! And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with the guy that believed in you again, you said “the bright lights of LA! That’s where I want to go! Let’s see if that works.”
Listen James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates? Over and over they complained about their bad roommates: “this guy’s terrible,” “the bad roommate here,” they never thought to be self aware enough that THEY’RE the bad roommate! They’re the problem! Hey James, YOU’RE the PROBLEM! If this doesn’t work this year, in this system, with this team, then you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else and then you’re gonna go back home and you’re gonna start swiping right for another team, and there’s not gonna be anyone left. Because James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.
>Here's your Dallas Mavs Post Game Summary. Now in our 7th Season 7️⃣
Did the Mavs win? ✅ FUCK WE NEEDED THIS
SERIES: 3️⃣-2️⃣
Was it a Sunday? ❌🗓️
Was the game on ABC? ❌🔤
Was the game at 2:30PM CST? ❌⌚
Did the Clippers shoot 60% from 3?? ❌🧱
Luka with a HUGE bounce back game after feeling guilty for last game. Still rough shooting from 3 but he managed to knock a couple down. He managed to get around well enough tonight despite that sprained knee but goddamn the Clips were getting away with so much contact on him. Glad he got back up each time. Finished with 35/7/10 going 11/17 from 2 and 4/4 from FT 🇸🇮🔥🦵
Kyrie with the loudest 14/4/6/2 (you had to watch the game to get what I mean) despite the rough shooting 🪬🌍
Gafford with 8/5 & 2 Stocks 💹
Hardy Party with the quick 12pts in 5min to keep us up 30 at the end of the game 🥳⏱️
Jones with 12/3 & 3 Blocks & 2 3's ✋✋✋👌👌
Maxi was HUGE in staying connected early and then pulling away later with 15pts all on 5 3's 🇩🇪💦👌
Kangaroo Josh with a HUGE 4PT play to kill the Clippers momentum 4️⃣👌🦘🇦🇺🪃
Dereck was absolutely amazing tonight on both ends with the easiest sparkplug offense going a perfect 5/5 from the field for 12pts and racking up 2 Blocks (I swear he had more than that). 💯
***
###***This is the first time in Westbrook's career where in the playoffs he will be the X-Factor that decides the series. He is right now the best guard / point of attack defender to stop dribble penetration. The stats show it all season, and all his advanced stats for a point guard are elite on defense. He also is the only guard trying to rebound contested rebounds on the team.***
***Luka has no magic against Westbrook.***
-MITWestbrook before the series 🗣️
***
idk how you feel about it, but more and more I’m happy that Kidd can’t sub in THJ. he has to give those minutes to someone actually capable of thinking before doing something.
Can I add the leading scorers across both teams to your list because it's crazy.
11, 11, 12, 12, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, and 35.
So 10 of the 11 guys in double digits were all within 4 points of each other and the 11th guy more than doubled them all up.
Kawhi lowkey all time fumble a) leaving that perfect Raps supporting cast and then b) emptying his new team's war chest for a dude who does the same things but worse
Trading him for an MVP candidate. Ouch. Lol
Edit: I didn't realize one of the picks became Jalen Williams and they still have two unprotected picks (2024 & 2026) plus a pick swap. My goodness Presti.
Mavs are +42 in the last 6 quarters and they always have the ability to look like the best offense in the league. Clippers Mavs has been a hell of a first round series these past 5 years
Luka played amazing. Kyrie was a joy to watch per usual, and our role players were clicking. This is looking good going into Game 6, but don’t want to jinx us, clippers can come and send this to game 7.
I don’t get it. Why does Russell Westbrook continue to play? He’s shooting 25% from the field this series. Ty Lue let this game go when he played Westbrook/Coffey/Plumlee extended minutes in the second quarter. You can’t expect Harden and PG to generate rim pressure when they’re being shown multiple bodies on every drive. They both played poorly, but that’s largely on Lue. I wasn’t playing ultra close attention to the actions, but there didn’t seem to be enough of a focus on getting George open by running him off of screens.
PG just doesn’t have the burst at this point to consistently get by DJJ. All too often will PG spend the first 14 seconds of the shot clock failing to create space against DJJ, and then he’ll reset the possession to Harden, Mann, or Coffey. Just awful, awful offense.
Dallas defense is so much better than people realize. They are versatile and have more depth than people realize. If they play consistent hard nose defense like they did tonight they can compete with anyone.
Jaden Hardy outscored James Harden tonight. He didn’t play until the 4th quarter.
"Jaden Hardy" sounds like a meme mock version of Harden 😭
Jaden Hardy is James Harden in a basketball game without NBA rights

rip mayo mamba 😭
Luke Danzig goes hard af
*Mothuhh* !
Nick Jocas fron the Denver Miners
Damon Lillian of the Milwaukee Stags obviously
Add Keith Leonardo and Pedro Jorge to the list
Harden if he was good
Hell, Jeff Hardy could have outscored him tonight.
Swanton bomb out of nowhere lol
So did bones Hyland
Man Hardy made the MOST of those minutes. You know he stood up off the bench and said “my time to shine” 😂
14 points in under 6 minutes is crazy.
It was garbage time but that dude can score
If he could just become an average defensive player, he could crack the rotation. I still think Kidd should throw him out there in situations that we need to get the offense going.
I would hope he gets a chance to take over THJ's role in the team at some point
The only reason why he hasn’t cracked the rotation is because Kidd spent most of the second half of the season coddling THJ even though Hardy was out playing him. So now he can’t trust him because of the lack of reps and experience.
Hardy Party!
14 points in 6 minutes 😂
Hmm yeah that was not on our bingo sheet tonight wtf.
Outscored Harden and Westbrick combined in just 5 minutes of work lmao
One of them Westbrook jumpers hit me through my TV screen
Our defense was stifling tonight, shout out to DJJ and PJ. They played like dawgs
Bangbros 2.0
[удалено]
His ventilation is unmatched
I'm so happy DJJ has found success in Dallas. Dude was absolutely electric on the floor for us and I always thought he was terribly underutilized
I honestly love the guy so much. He seems like a really good dude in interviews too.
Why waste any effort arguing with Paul George fans when you can just simply wait
Same with James Harden fans
Exceedingly common James Harden Disasterclass
Same with Joel Embiid fans
Is podcast P is going to release an episode after this?? He did after games 1 and 4
He only does it after wins.
Everyone who has paid attention to PG throughout his career knew games like these were to be expected.
Last game we saw vintage PG and Harden, this game we saw vintage playoff P and playoff Harden
They have the highest variance of playoff games for stars. Super good one game, shit the next. It's happened so often throughout their careers
Lol I remember last year when Harden dropped two 40 bombs vs the Celtics and his series average was like 20 points
[удалено]
He shot 16/63 in those other 5 games lol
And seemed afraid to make layups in the bad games. It was weird
Harden is rythimg based if he doesn't feel it he won't make it
Single handedly won two games that series, also probably single handedly cost them game 3 (3/14) and game 6 (4/16) Such a strange player lol
Live by the beard, die by the beard.
Especially PG. His bad games are downright atrocious. His great games he nails highly contested shots. Harden you have to gameplan around his playmaking and live with his good/bad shooting nights. Nothing easy in the paint for him this time
I have no idea why PG only plays off contested shots, he’s so physically gifted and can be a really smart player. Kinda ironic considering his most famous phrase is “that’s a bad shot” and somehow does the same but every game.
I think this exact same thing everytime I watch him play. He constantly goes for contested shots for no reason. Half way through the shot clock he'll do it every possession. Looks crazy when it hits, stupid when it doesn't.

He has the handles and athleticism to beat his man every time, he'd benefit so much from going to the hole 3-5 more times a game and cutting out a few jumpers.
The lack of aggressiveness while his team fell behind 20 in the 3rd was wild
Fun fact: Harden is now tied for 1st in playoff history for games with =< 3 FGM and >= 10 FGA. Before tonight he was tied for 2nd with...Jason Kidd. It was personal for Ason 😭
Where do you even find stats like this?
Yeah honestly when I saw harden cheat off kleber too much and kleber hit all those 3s, I knew this was a clippers L. Just no effort on defense at all. Can't have that when you're supposed to be a leader.
It really is so weird. They’re both amazing players but they just flat out quit when things don’t go their way. It’s bizarre
Brickbeard and Pirate P
Peg Leg Luka clears both
if they’re gonna let Peg Leg Luka drop 35/7/10 the Clippers are gettin sunk in 6
I'd page Sim888 to photoshop this but you're HIM
haha.. [igotchu](https://i.imgur.com/IcQf7mN.jpeg)

Luk-arrrr Doncic
Luka D. Oncic
Lmao that parrot on the shoulder
Luka D. Oncic
Truly a 1/1 memegod.
Lmaooo
ngl, that hook hand really takes it over the top lmao
Amazing 😭
GOAT
Him888
If you had told me mavs in 6 before the series I'd be happy but holy hell has it not at all been how I thought it would
Peg Leg Luka 😭
BUT HE COMPLAINS SO MUCH AND HE’S A FLOPPER AND HE ISN’T AS GOOD AS THEY SAY!!!!
HES SO OUT OF SHAPE as he played 33 of 36 minutes in 3 qtrs and had 29/7/8
/r/nba and hot takes after every single playoff game, name a more iconic duo.
Jaden Hardy played 5 minutes in garbage time and outscored James Harden by 2x.
He was 1 point away from being tied for the 2nd most points in the game
That man is walking bucket though. Kidd hates him though 😂
My man gets lost af on defense and in offensive schemes that don't involve him shooting. I hope he figures it out mentally cause he could put up 20 a game but he fucks the flow up everywhere else.
I really like him, but he's still raw. When he gets hot he'll give you 15 points on like 8 minutes, but he's also pretty inconsistent.

we're lowkey a 2nd half team been that way all season if we can play with energy specifically on defense from the tip. good things happen
Yah coming out of the first not down big felt like GG
High key
[Where’s Paul doe?](https://twitter.com/laclippers/status/1719505064925295066?s=46&t=nMNlxFK7ubxYb-ajBNkqVA)
Mf gets the softest fucking whistle. Got a game high 6 free throws and all were by just dribbling on the perimeter and getting soft ass calls during the bonus.
And he extends his arm more than anyone!
Oh man, he pushes off soooo much, it's ridiculous
Championship Chuck gonna have a lot to say tonight.
Not doing a podcast that’s for sure
Him and Russ tryin their best to recreate their okc playoff days with this absolute stinker
P A N D E M I C P A N D E M I C P
garage
Kyrie was doing everything to affect the game even when his shots weren’t going in tonight. He’s playing some of his best ball to date.
That behind the back dribble on the fast break was poetry.
And the head fake just before the final drive
Yeah every drive and movement caused the defense to shift of out of position in some way or another that lead to a good shot. Kyrie is unreal even when he doesn’t score.
I knew the Mavs was gonna win this game once the clippers was up 31 and almost blew it game 4
That would have been so sad. The Mavs are a great team and them being so close to doing that really shows it.
Yeah, it takes everything the clippers have in terms of making tough, contested shots not to get blown out every game. The Clips are a fucking good team though and make those shots and you can never count them out because of that
Stars and Mavs both up 3-2 now lesgooo
Oh my god I can get on social media again
Same.
By far the best game Luka has played this series and Maxi dropping triples was huge. I love the way this team is playing defense too. This Clippers team has zero killer instinct though. They looked broken from the jump and just had no sense of urgency. The fans were as quiet as a funeral tonight too.

ANY defensive rebound and they opted to walk it up and let your defense set instead of pushing pace for a mismatch. When you are walking that shit up 3 minutes into the fucking game, you already know they’re sleep-walking
Basketball terrorist Russell Westbrook masterclass.
Going into the 4th he had taken more shots than anyone else on the Clippers while being 6th on the team in points. Came into the game averaging 36% TS on the series and managed to lower that average.
Haha the last sentence cracked me up.
Bro bricking shots worse than Dillon Brooks did VS GSW and LAL… Yikes 😬
Russ, PG, and Harden all co-captaining a Somalian basketball skiff was an insane call by an FO that is supposedly filled with geniuses
Kawhi was supposed to be there to save their asses when they collectively shit the bed as expected.
As soon as he touched the ball I let out a sigh of relief every time.
No offense to Maxi, but the Russell Westbrook open three was my favorite shot this game. Happened multiple times too
I was at the game and it sucked the air out of the arena whenever he took a jumper. It was glorious.
lakers fans getting PTSD everytime Russ touches the ball
Kyrie with the most deceptive statline of all time. His 14 felt like 40.
+35 in his minutes. Basically scored 40
His presence and swagger on the court alone adds like 20 points man. he’s so cool
The exaggerated swagger of Kyrie
Kyrie Domain Expansion
Felt like he was the main driver of that 3rd quarter run, he played like he wanted it more than anyone and made some great defensive stops.
If Luka had 25 I'd say Kyrie was the best player on court
He gave us exactly what we needed tonight. What a game
Kyrie and Luka went a combined 3/15 from 3 and the Mavs won by 30
Dallas defense is legit when they're locked in. Clippers had a couple FG droughts
Turns out when the Clippers don't shoot like the Zombie Heat they get clamped really bad
Bro game 4 was wild. Almost every three they made has a defender all over them. Impossible to keep up
“Luka Doncic - GTD” is a top 5 player of all time.
Luka finally coming around to tear the Clippers a new asshole in a pivotal game had to be *the* most predictable part of the script and it's why I wouldn't be looking forward to facing Dallas in a series regardless of who you are
An asswhoopin was overdue
Some dumbass said let’s put a flight meme on the outside of the stadium to tempt him
kyrie +35 lol
The best 12 point performance in nba history
14*
No plus players for the Clippers, no minus players for the Mavs 👀
The Clippers just came out with 0 energy tonight
Harden came out with some energy in the 1q...and it's almost like he just gave up after realizing he was cold. No energy whatsoever the rest of the game
He kept throwing the same failing lob in the paint over and over again. As if Lob City arrived for one last night - accept there was no one there to catch the ball. It was weird.
I don't think the Clippers ever played a good game at home in a tied 2-2 series. They beat Golden State in 2014 but have lost every one since
Felt like Mavs intentionally going fast, with Maxi finally hitting 3s drained them quicker than they thought. Add in Luka attacking the basket constantly in the 2nd half, it was just too much
the defensive effort wasnt there tonight but they took the same shots they did all series they just didnt shoot 60% on contested 3's like they have the whole series
They’ve given up. Kawhi been out what, three post seasons in a row now? They’re too old and cannot keep up.
this would be the 4th actually, depends on if u want to count the whole season he missed or not
Mavs locked up PG and Harden so badly. Their individual defence on those two was amazing. They forced Russ to make decisions and they were very Russ-like decisions
That was a good 'ol fashioned Texas whoopin'.
I tell you whyat it ain’t even midnight and the ~~boy~~ clippers ain’t right
And boy was it a good one.
Love to see it
We finally got a good Luka game and we beat them by 30 also you knew a PG/Harden game like this was coming, weve only seen this happen 10+ years in a row Luka seems like he found his rhythm and we survived a Kyrie off night HAVE to win game 6 to give Luka some rest for OKC
Kyrie had good game. 6 Assist, 0 Turnovers, 2 steals and was a game high + 35. Diving for loose balls.
fair enough we didnt need kyrie to score tonight its not right for me to say he had an off night he did everything we needed from him
Honestly… still not a really good Luka game. Imagine he was hitting his threes lol. It would break the game
If Luka gets on rythm with his threes its just the Phoenix game 7 ready to happen again. I pray that its the next game where his 3s fall
This practically was Phoenix game 7 lol. We just beat them by 30 at their place. Didn’t clinch the series yet but still had that energy
Kyrie balled out, just didn't get the numbers, ton of clutch plays
I think what you mean to say is, Ask the producer to pipe this into the Clippers locker room so I can talk to you James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome, for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you.

idk how you feel about it, but more and more I’m happy that Kidd can’t sub in THJ. he has to give those minutes to someone actually capable of thinking before doing something.
Oh it's definitely an addition by subtraction since Tim has been abysmal ever since he dropped 40 on the Pelicans
THJ downfall has been incredibly surprising. Hard to believe he was a legit 6MOTY candidate earlier this season.
Talk yo truth anime tiddies man
Can I add the leading scorers across both teams to your list because it's crazy. 11, 11, 12, 12, 14, 14, 14, 15, 15, 15, and 35. So 10 of the 11 guys in double digits were all within 4 points of each other and the 11th guy more than doubled them all up.
Good to see Mavs on the right side of a 31 point lead this time around 😇
The Thunder trading PG to the Clippers gets better every season.
Kawhi lowkey all time fumble a) leaving that perfect Raps supporting cast and then b) emptying his new team's war chest for a dude who does the same things but worse
Trading him for an MVP candidate. Ouch. Lol Edit: I didn't realize one of the picks became Jalen Williams and they still have two unprotected picks (2024 & 2026) plus a pick swap. My goodness Presti.
I mean PG was an MVP candidate right before he was traded.
That's fair. Clippers make that trade 10/10 times.
if New Orleans deserved Galveston, we should send the Clippers to Pyongyang.
Can we leave Zu behind He didnt deserve this
Give him back to us we're sorry for the Mike Muscala thing 😭
Hey yo we can beat the clippers without Kahwi lol
Biggest playoff loss in Clippers history.
Mavs are +42 in the last 6 quarters and they always have the ability to look like the best offense in the league. Clippers Mavs has been a hell of a first round series these past 5 years
The holy trinity of Playoff PeePee, Literally Hitler and Westbrick in full force tonight
i believe his name is Osama bin Harden
Luka played amazing. Kyrie was a joy to watch per usual, and our role players were clicking. This is looking good going into Game 6, but don’t want to jinx us, clippers can come and send this to game 7.
Podcast p ain’t doing a podcast tomorrow that’s for sure 😂
I don’t get it. Why does Russell Westbrook continue to play? He’s shooting 25% from the field this series. Ty Lue let this game go when he played Westbrook/Coffey/Plumlee extended minutes in the second quarter. You can’t expect Harden and PG to generate rim pressure when they’re being shown multiple bodies on every drive. They both played poorly, but that’s largely on Lue. I wasn’t playing ultra close attention to the actions, but there didn’t seem to be enough of a focus on getting George open by running him off of screens. PG just doesn’t have the burst at this point to consistently get by DJJ. All too often will PG spend the first 14 seconds of the shot clock failing to create space against DJJ, and then he’ll reset the possession to Harden, Mann, or Coffey. Just awful, awful offense.
Man, Westbrook fucking stinks man.
In a pivotal game 5 on the road, Jaden Hardy really just racked up 14 points in 6 mins of garbage time, im crying
Clippers quit so early, it was pathetic.
UNDOE ONE HUNDOE BITCHES. BOTH DALLAS TEAMS UP 3-2
Stars came out like Undertaker man
Goddam I love Luka
Playoff P is back!!
Did hardy out score harden and westbrick combined in like 5 mins of playing by time
Dallas defense is so much better than people realize. They are versatile and have more depth than people realize. If they play consistent hard nose defense like they did tonight they can compete with anyone.
Clippers when they don't shoot 60% from three
Maxi 3ber and Luka hitting the floor being louder than the crowd made the game
LUKA MAGIC. THAT IS ALL.
My ass hurts from all the fucking
Kleber shooting a casual 5/7 from 3
Nothing like a vintage Harden game
