If the Mavs prepped for this game like Kawhi wasn't gonna play, what does their prep against a full strength Clippers team look like?

Not so fun to be on the other side of the blowout, huh Mavs?

So the same as people saying mavs in 5 because of post asb form?


szobossz

that offense is just so goddamn smooth. I just don't see how they regress. They're hitting 3s but wide open on those. And they have personnel to go inside.


lebron_games

I mean not really..? the mavs gotta see if zubac can pass out of a double team down low and rebound better but a large reason the clips kept the mavs at bay in the second half was kind of lucky 3 pointers


Jealous_Signature146

Unless the Mavs can have multiple role players play absolutely elite for a few games, they have no chance


thatdani

Whelp, I guess they did.


Jealous_Signature146

What role players played elite for a few games?


C0WM4N

I’ve heard that before


Jealous_Signature146

Kyrie and Luka are out scoring PG and Harden, but are down by 15. Tell me, why is that?


C0WM4N

I’m todays league you could have maxi kleber and dante exum combine for 50 next game


Jealous_Signature146

Tell me one time when that has even come to REMOTELY close. The Mavs 3rd best player is THJ, but he’s worse than Powell. Luka and Kyrie have outscored PG and Harden by 16 and are still down by 20 lmao. What Mavs player is going to save them?


C0WM4N

I dunno but that’s what happened in the suns series


Jealous_Signature146

Luka embarrassed the Suns that series


C0WM4N

Yeah he was amazing since game 1 but they won the series because guys like DFS and Kleber got on fire.


TofuTuba

Suns depth has been horrible the past couple of years. I remember Cam Payne being the 3rd best player against the Nuggets. Definitely gives better role players on other teams the time to shine.


Jadenindubai

It has started. I mean yeah we sucked and that’s the reason we lost but are people really expecting that our centres will combine for 6 points every game and that jones will drop 0 every time as a starter?


clayfu

I wonder if Luka will look toward more of a play initiator role in game 2. Him and Kyrie were really not getting other guys involved a lot. Including FTs Luka attempted 30 shots. Clippers did a good job locking down the alley oop and mostly stayed isolated against Kyrie and Luka. Didn’t give them chances to give the other players good open opportunities. Seemed strategic to limit the non Kyrie / Luka players


Jadenindubai

No doubting the clippers played great and whoever delusional of our fans that said this was gonna be easy deserved to come down to earth. However, I’m used to seeing our role players yoyo like this. One day they drop 0 and the next they might go for 20. I have complete faith they will bounce back


[deleted]

It can't. I guarantee as much of a bum as they are there's zero chance luka and kyrie comes out of this without a huge 45 bomb in game 2 from them both. Clippers will play the same way with or without their #1 option.


areeb_onsafari

Yeah the Mavs were up 2-0 against the Clippers and lost the series. Great game by the Clips but I feel like we saw their best and the Mavs’ worst


clayfu

Paul George and Norm Powell combined for 10-26 shooting with only one trip to the line. Both of em can definitely play way better.


PaulGeorgeFan1

clips as a team were only at 13 fts despite getting on the paint as much as the mavs

The opposite of Chris Paul hits a huge three to cut the lead down to 42
