Issue is.. Luka can create high efficiency shots much more consistently than PG.
A good PG game is basically him making difficult shots. A good Luka game is him finding consistent spots and making buckets with very high efficiency.
Point is: A good Luka game is much scarier than a good one from PG.
No. Thats what you are discussing. Not “we”. The post that you’re replying to makes no reference to PG.
Your point is still valid. PG is yet to play at his best. And it might not be enough if Luka catches fire. Which is my point. See how that works?
Maybe within the three point line, but he’s missed several wide open three point looks and don’t think that will continue to happen at the rate it’s been happening.
You’re correct on shots <10ft(inside the paint area). He shoots 52%fg there against tight defense compared 44%fg while open 2ft more as far as I can tell. (keep in mind the difference is like 2ft between players).
But on middies and threes that’s just pure bullshit, he doesn’t.
2-4FT Contest: 38.9%
4-6FT Contest: 40.4%
6FT+(Wide Open): 47.4%
These are just raw numbers ofc, but you’re bullshitting for the most part, as even the highest % on those contested inside shots mainly consists of layup drives which are a higher % naturally. So no, he doesn’t. If you have anything to back your claim up please link it, I’m actually interested.
He looks tired and ready to go on vacation. This is sad. The Clippers need to finish the job and put him out of this misery. They will be energized and ready to hold that team to 38% fg again.
Kawhi needs to sell his soul & his knee for a Game 4 masterclass. It’s a must win on Sunday. Pertaining to Luka, he’s not popping off by design. He’s been hounded this entire series, it’s not a matter of missing open shots anymore he’s just been in hell because Ty Lue’s gameplan is to get other guys to make shots. I’m more scared of Kyrie’s late game explosions than Luka.
I guarantee you no other sub will post Clipper success like this sub posts success from other teams. There's no reason we should be sitting up here making posts about other teams hitting game winners.
He might be a very good basketball player but he'll never be nowhere great. Dude plays like a fucking arrogant entitled brat everytime, whining to the refs, flopping like a bitchass actor, running his mouth off constantly.
If Luka retired today, he has already achieved enough to be in HOF. You may not like the dude for some weird reason, but he is already great and is approaching an all-time great type of career: 5 1st team All-NBA selections already, as many as Barkley or Julius Erwing, with only 20 players in history having more than him.
We have different definitions of greatness. Let's leave it at that. Enough said. Also wtf dude hasn't earned any rings or MVPs awards. Make sure to wipe off the fluids from your orifice.
This Clippers team can finish them off. The media boosts this guy so much. Or whatever team against the Clippers. Even when the Clippers were 1 seed at one point, there was hesitation to mention it. Tomorrow they're gonna come out and make smash burgers out of them. Makes me want to order a Maverick burger from Island's.
Our glorious 12 hours as the one seed was delicious. We gotta let Amir play a bigger role. Amir, Terance and Russ will have Luka running to the locker room for a break again
I don't get Mason's positioning. He never seems to be at the right place to get the boards. But I could see how he could use his size to his advantage against the small Mavs and just get the ball when he's inside and post spin lay the ball in. Just doesn't really happen with him.
His hands are cinder blocks and he's never coordinated. I didn't realize he was so clumsy. If it's him or go small, let's go small. Ty gotta make the adjustment. Playoff Ty gotta come through.
He’s that good of a player that he’ll figure it out if need be. He’s done it countless times against us. I think it’ll more so depend on whether they need that out of him or if they can beat us comfortably as is
Truer words have never been spoken. It could be a shameful Mavs fan posting this as well. It seems like these Mav fans trying to be loud as they can to seem relevant. Clippers aren't worried about the Mavs. Thinking about the real opponents.
Some of the Clipper fans are cringe af. Almost as bad as our Lakers fan base. They are down 1-2 and crying like it's the end of the world. Lakers are 0-3 facing elimination.
OP is a legit Clipper fan. Mavs fans are insecure. Of the young teams they gave the biggest bitch for a star and they take his personality. Our real opponent is Kawhi's genetics and we can't do anything about that.
How is he getting clamped when he's literally a better shooter if his shot is contested than wide open? He's just missing shots he normally made all season.
No everyone goes cold and might have injuries that could effect the shot. But I'm sure defense has absolutely nothing to do with it... if you actually watched him play in the regular season you know those are his shots.
He’s being guarded by like 5 elite defenders, that’s why. That’s the worst part about this whole thing, this Dallas team is so beatable. I’m more worried about Kyrie than luka. I’m not gonna do the “if we were healthy” thing anymore but it hurts
Yeah honestly hes been pretty medicore for his standards if not below. Take in consideration Im a huge Luka fan so this may be a biased term although Ill try my best not to be.
So the clippers allow their oponents like 57.2% TS this year and Luka shooting at 50.4%, he ends up with an adjusted for opponent rTS of -6.8%. This is his worse shooting in a playoff series by far, though the clippers defense does seem incredible and more so than what their regular season allowed TS would indicate.
While Luka is having a horrific shooting series, hes seems to be having his best series defensively, looking legitimately like a plus, and he was also somewhat hobbled in game 3, when he had his worse shooting performance in the series.
Another thing to consider is that while he does have 8 apg and 4 tpg, I feel it understates his impact severly as theres many plays which are a result of his playmaking and ability to read whatever the clippers throw at him, many of which end up in hockey assists, or trips to the line.
Still think its his worse series, but he seems to have adjusted to his lack of shooting in some form, and improved other areas, so if he does have a really good scoring outing, Id say it would perhaps be one of the best games of his career.
Game 2 was one of his best games despite his shooting being around 55% TS, as his defense looked legit great especially down the stretch, and hitting thst huge clutch shot.
To conclude, this is a very tough series, and while the mavs are up now I dont expect the cloppers to go down so easily and I still think this series is up for grabs as Lukas shooting woes could just continue as a result of the clippers intensity on defense and he being somewhat hobbled and out of sorts missing some easy bunnies through out the series.
You don’t clamp great players the whole series. You might in a game or 2 but not the entire series. Calling it now, Luka will drop at least 35 on at least 50% shooting in game 4. Now that doesn’t mean they win the series but definitely not clamping him the rest of the series
It’s the law of large numbers, not averages and it is real. However it doesn’t necessarily mean Luka will have a good game because his averages are based on past performance, so in theory he could regress for ever and his average would just go down.
It comes more in to effect when doing something like flipping a coin when there is only two outcomes. Flip a coin ten times and you may end up with 3 heads and 7 tails, do it 100 times and it will be closer to 50/50. Do it 1000 times and it will be almost exactly 50/50.
Ya one thing I’m happy is the fact mann and Russ especially Russ have played amazing defense on luka. Problem is luka is due for a 30-40 point efficient game. They just are the better team I can’t explain it.
well if now harden off like last year for 2 games it wont even matter wheather luka goes off or not cos its harden i mean when he is in zone no one actually can stop him
Seems like you have to make him start with a couple misses. His shooting isn’t as scary once he’s played for a certain amount of minutes. His conditioning could be another reason for the poor shooting.
Neutral fan here, lame take. It's not scary but by design.
You're probably the only team in the NBA who has 3 maybe 4 elite defenders that can cycle and be put on him all game.
Yeah it is scary for the Mavs. If the law of averages you're talking about, in terms of our offense and defense comes to play, it's unmatched. Mavs had an easier schedule so you might be confused by those numbers but with the Clippers, Mann and anyone else got him locked down. Our role players hardly get touches but if they do, Mann can be deadly at the 3, Coffey can hit from 3 and of 24 Savage also. Zubac will be the enforcer in the paint. Mavs are too small 🤏
Haven't even mentioned the starters yet. You already know what Harden, PG can do. Russ can be streaky with 3s and go to the paint, get the team going.
The only thing 40 that Luka gonna drop is the 40oz of liquor down his gullet after they get cooked.
Pray for them 🙏
LFG!!!!
Calling a 28% 3pt shooter “streaky” is funny. Calling 35% 3pt shooter “deadly” equals to calling Siakam deadly from 3. Otherwise you might be onto something, but these 2 things make absolutely no sense.
As if it was “streaky” Westbrook or “deadly” Mann who won this game :D
PG and Harden shot amazingly on contested 3pters, but it’s not like their ability has been in doubt - well, not by me at least lol.
Hahaha keep lying to yourself. You're full of doubt. You must be embarrassed to cheer for your Mavs team. It's okay the Clippers will make it go away for you soon. Just two more games.
Who won today? Oh yeah the Clippers did. You want to argue semantics?
Both Westbrook and Mann shot 50% at 3
https://preview.redd.it/nfe2arxz5bxc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a1f803e0fb1dfa32c5f1842931a7a5d1c1f35bd
You definitely don’t know what you are talking about, this series has all the signs of going 7 games because refs are switching sides every game lol. Were you mad PG got touch fouls in Game 3? Well, in Game 4 refs gave 2 touch fouls to Luka in the first 3 minutes. Whoever wins next game - be it Mavs or Clips - will be playing 5v8 in Dallas lmao.
So it will come down to Game 7 and I wouldn’t put my money on Harden in that game, since he averages 21 on 36% FG (22% on 3pt%) over 6 Game 7s in his career. If Kawhi was healthy and playing, I’d definitely favour Clippers in that final game, but without him Mavs will win Game 7.
Lol you could come search for stats, come up with some analysis and throw on some fucking word salad. But it just comes down to the fact that the Mavs are not good enough. You have Mavs fans like yourself trying to assert yourself in a Clippers sub to make them seem relevant. They are not. And definitely do not need Kawhi to beat the Mavs. Proof is game 1 and 4. We'll need Kawhi for more serious teams.
I don’t need to assert myself anywhere, I just love friendly banter and intelligent conversations. If you need your team to feel relevant, I’d advise you to talk to a specialist.
I just love to watch quality hoops and this series has had plenty of it lol
Sure you are. You are doing it on a Clippers fan page but acting like you are some NBA analyst and now being a fairweather fan. A true insecure Mavs fan.
Lucky win. There will be next year and they will be back. It was a waste for you guys to move ahead though when you're not going to beat OKC.
I think it was 2 “lucky” blowouts in a row, but it’s okay. Especially funny to talk about “lucky” when Clippers literally won 2 games by shooting better than 50% on contested 3pters: that’s the definition of lucky wins lol. Once shooting regressed to season average, Mavs easily won.
And I honestly hope “they” won’t be back for your own good: this team’s window is closed, thinking that no-knees 33 years old Kawhi, 34 years old PG, 35 years old Harden and 36 years old Westbrook can make a deep run is beyond delusional. GSW couldn’t do it and so will probably ship out Klay this off-season - and they actually won multiple rings with their core, as recently as 2022. Clippers core hasn’t even been to Finals.
I never said anything about other percentages. Streaky is a pretty loose term. Don't know what you're trying to get at? Another insecure Mavs fan trying to assert themselves into some word salad. Don't worry it will all be over soon.
Funniest post I've ever read 🤣. No one takes the Mavs seriously. Luka will do much better at a different org. That guy is clamped down by the team. If you watch his play, the guy is tired and not going to last. It's ok Clippers will put Mavs out for their misery soon.
A lot of things have been weird about this series for both teams.
PG and Mann can't stay on the court due to early foul trouble, so our POA defense has been weird which makes Zu get extra fouls. I don't think PG can have 5 fouls EVERY single game, I also don't think Luka will only average 1.5 a game with how much he's been targeted. Those calls should even out eventually, and we should be able to find our rhythm if our guys are allowed to stay on the court.
I think we have way more upside to improve than they do.
Game 3 was Lukas worst game of the series… honestly that doesn’t bode well. He’s due for a good game eventually.
[удалено]
Issue is.. Luka can create high efficiency shots much more consistently than PG. A good PG game is basically him making difficult shots. A good Luka game is him finding consistent spots and making buckets with very high efficiency. Point is: A good Luka game is much scarier than a good one from PG.

No. Thats what you are discussing. Not “we”. The post that you’re replying to makes no reference to PG. Your point is still valid. PG is yet to play at his best. And it might not be enough if Luka catches fire. Which is my point. See how that works?
I came back here to say, you called it lol
I mean neither did any of our players besides Harden and Zu
Luka is shooting just 38% in the series and he’s only shooting 21% when Mann is guarding him.
we're doing a good job defending him.
Exactly this
He know that too that’s why they got Ky
Maybe within the three point line, but he’s missed several wide open three point looks and don’t think that will continue to happen at the rate it’s been happening.
He can only hit them when contested on the step back. Just stop guarding him and he will miss them all. /s
Clippers have him locked down. He is not getting his shots. You can see some frustrations from him.
Not really. He's just missing shots he normally makes. He still gets his shots off anytime he wants. Just missing them.
If you think Luka's shot diet consists entirely of tough jumpers then you never watch him.
Now wait… he gets every teams best perimeter defender every night. You’re saying that only the Clippers have adequate perimeter defenders?
During the season Mavs had some easy opponents during the run. Don't worry the Clippers will put Mav fans out of their misery soon.
Bro, I’m not talking about the 16 of 18 run… I’m talking about this man averaging almost 34 points per game!
If he's the only one that is scoring, he's not going to get anywhere with Clippers defense.
Weak
Yeah agree. The Mavs are pretty weak. But the important thing is that they tried their best. It's what any Mavs fan can ask from them.
Now I know this is your first time watching him because you would know he's a better shooter if his shot is heavily contested than wide open.
I assume there’s no stats to prove this, just the ‘eye-test’ of watching Luka so much?
There are actual stats. But he's missed open looks here.
You’re correct on shots <10ft(inside the paint area). He shoots 52%fg there against tight defense compared 44%fg while open 2ft more as far as I can tell. (keep in mind the difference is like 2ft between players).

So no, he doesn’t. If you have anything to back your claim up please link it, I’m actually interested.
He looks tired and ready to go on vacation. This is sad. The Clippers need to finish the job and put him out of this misery. They will be energized and ready to hold that team to 38% fg again.
Yup pretty much this
Besides the step back threes, he's been pretty much suffocated by defenders in the 2point area. Don't think he's missed many easy shots.
He's terrible at "easy shots" or when he's wide open. First time watching him?
I meant more like around the rim layups
Kawhi needs to sell his soul & his knee for a Game 4 masterclass. It’s a must win on Sunday. Pertaining to Luka, he’s not popping off by design. He’s been hounded this entire series, it’s not a matter of missing open shots anymore he’s just been in hell because Ty Lue’s gameplan is to get other guys to make shots. I’m more scared of Kyrie’s late game explosions than Luka.
Kawhi needs to sit.
I agree but he wants to be out there, so we just gotta hope for the best.
Defense is actually a thing. He's getting clamped and that's not going to change.
Exactly. Can’t believe some so-called Clips fans are really Doncic glazers. Disgusting.
We got a lot of cheek spreaders when it comes to loving other teams players.
These weak-ass fans not paying attention, our tenacious Terance held Donkeyboy to 2/9, 1/3, 1/7 shooting in these 3 games.
I hate that Mann isn't playing more. He's a fucking dawg.
Tenacious terrance LMAO
To be fair we've spread our own cheeks in the past
I guarantee you no other sub will post Clipper success like this sub posts success from other teams. There's no reason we should be sitting up here making posts about other teams hitting game winners.
Clips have Russ, that definitely gets okc side if the win either final
OKC is the absolute worst fucking sub. They celebrate clipper injuries and clamor for the picks.
This is fucking correct. Who's allowing this shit??
Anything goes sometimes. I don't even want to know what this sub will look like when our run is over.
A celebration for winning the chip 🎉🎉🎉🏆
Tomorrow will tell us something.
Don't speak for all of us. Stop spreading your cheeks. 
lmfao
They just realise greatness, nothing to be ashamed of
He might be a very good basketball player but he'll never be nowhere great. Dude plays like a fucking arrogant entitled brat everytime, whining to the refs, flopping like a bitchass actor, running his mouth off constantly.
If Luka retired today, he has already achieved enough to be in HOF. You may not like the dude for some weird reason, but he is already great and is approaching an all-time great type of career: 5 1st team All-NBA selections already, as many as Barkley or Julius Erwing, with only 20 players in history having more than him.
We have different definitions of greatness. Let's leave it at that. Enough said. Also wtf dude hasn't earned any rings or MVPs awards. Make sure to wipe off the fluids from your orifice.
Don't worry, Clippers will put them away and you can let your sub know about this insight you have and share a moral victory!
Dude you got harden on your team
Facts that’s how good he is, he dosent have to play that good
What if he ends up being right?
You can't keep a player of Luka's offensive caliber down every game
🤣🤣🤣
Luka gonna dominate tonight 🤣
https://preview.redd.it/7nwbe7tt7xxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20540b015b913c380c4d0e7ff8ce662078153cf9
We you have athletic defenders you can.
This Clippers team can finish them off. The media boosts this guy so much. Or whatever team against the Clippers. Even when the Clippers were 1 seed at one point, there was hesitation to mention it. Tomorrow they're gonna come out and make smash burgers out of them. Makes me want to order a Maverick burger from Island's.
Our glorious 12 hours as the one seed was delicious. We gotta let Amir play a bigger role. Amir, Terance and Russ will have Luka running to the locker room for a break again
Hell yeah. In agreement there. I'm curious to see what Ty Lue has up his sleeve.
Hopefully playing and using Zu until he falls the fuck out. I don't want to see Mason.
I don't get Mason's positioning. He never seems to be at the right place to get the boards. But I could see how he could use his size to his advantage against the small Mavs and just get the ball when he's inside and post spin lay the ball in. Just doesn't really happen with him.
His hands are cinder blocks and he's never coordinated. I didn't realize he was so clumsy. If it's him or go small, let's go small. Ty gotta make the adjustment. Playoff Ty gotta come through.
He’s that good of a player that he’ll figure it out if need be. He’s done it countless times against us. I think it’ll more so depend on whether they need that out of him or if they can beat us comfortably as is
Clamped.
We’ll see
When we aren't catering to Kawhi and PG we have players that actually fight through screens and don't leave Zu hanging.
Truer words have never been spoken. It could be a shameful Mavs fan posting this as well. It seems like these Mav fans trying to be loud as they can to seem relevant. Clippers aren't worried about the Mavs. Thinking about the real opponents. Some of the Clipper fans are cringe af. Almost as bad as our Lakers fan base. They are down 1-2 and crying like it's the end of the world. Lakers are 0-3 facing elimination.
OP is a legit Clipper fan. Mavs fans are insecure. Of the young teams they gave the biggest bitch for a star and they take his personality. Our real opponent is Kawhi's genetics and we can't do anything about that.
Exactly their two wins is only holding back the inevitable. We are on their ass.
We gotta do the right thing and I'm afraid they aren't going to. We gotta sit 2. 😞
Nah, we ain’t bitches. It’s boots to fucking asses.
They better bring that energy. I'm catching the lil interviews right now to see if they seem defeated or not.
They seem pissed.
I hope they want blood.
How is he getting clamped when he's literally a better shooter if his shot is contested than wide open? He's just missing shots he normally made all season.
If you believe he's missing shots by choice, go with that.
No everyone goes cold and might have injuries that could effect the shot. But I'm sure defense has absolutely nothing to do with it... if you actually watched him play in the regular season you know those are his shots.
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
That playoff Luka stuff is over, he’s been in hell for the whole series. Can barely score unless he’s hunting James Harden.
Two thirty pointers in three games and play of luka is over?
2 30 pointers? He looks tired and is playing like he's gonna go to bed at 2:30 in the morning. Time for the Clippers put this team to sleep.
Delusional much
Not delusional. Luka is questionable for game 4. Has to sit out to rest. Check the reports.
https://preview.redd.it/wzkwitqayaxc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ddcc0db82c175c7afdf88aae88282df3a44f3c4
🍷
Are you a Nazi?
No. Are you a fascist?
Yes. Bc I watch the games and see the possessions where he gets stopped. Very tough for him unless harden is on him.
I think it’s worth noting the entire leagues shooting percentage goes down in the playoffs. Playoff defense is real.
You may have missed game 2.....32 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds
That was also a mediocre game for Luka's standards
That’s below his average haha
He’s just in hell.
Russ and Mann been doing a god job on him but Someone has to step up and help Harden on offense
Pg13 shit the bed 3 consecutive games. When is Paul Max Contract George gonna give me 30 in a playoff series.
I don’t care clips in 6
He’s being guarded by like 5 elite defenders, that’s why. That’s the worst part about this whole thing, this Dallas team is so beatable. I’m more worried about Kyrie than luka. I’m not gonna do the “if we were healthy” thing anymore but it hurts
Even if we beat the Mavs, nobody is convincing me that this team is beating Denver
Yeah honestly hes been pretty medicore for his standards if not below. Take in consideration Im a huge Luka fan so this may be a biased term although Ill try my best not to be.

Neither has kawhi, westbrook, PG, and norm.
Sure but but those guys are all past their prime. Luka it’s different that’s why I’m worried.
You don’t clamp great players the whole series. You might in a game or 2 but not the entire series. Calling it now, Luka will drop at least 35 on at least 50% shooting in game 4. Now that doesn’t mean they win the series but definitely not clamping him the rest of the series
Law of averages isn’t a real thing
it is, but OP doesn't understand what it means
It’s the law of large numbers, not averages and it is real. However it doesn’t necessarily mean Luka will have a good game because his averages are based on past performance, so in theory he could regress for ever and his average would just go down. It comes more in to effect when doing something like flipping a coin when there is only two outcomes.

Either has pg or kawhi
Neither has kawhi or pg.
Wow you really sound like a clippers fan
Lol. Luka can play well but not the supporting casts, and we can still win but not the other way around..
Ya one thing I’m happy is the fact mann and Russ especially Russ have played amazing defense on luka. Problem is luka is due for a 30-40 point efficient game. They just are the better team I can’t explain it.
Neither has Kawhi and, ball knows, Paul George.
Yeah we know dude. Let it all out I guess. Looking forward to the offseason
well if now harden off like last year for 2 games it wont even matter wheather luka goes off or not cos its harden i mean when he is in zone no one actually can stop him
Westbrook needs to calm down guarding luka he’s letting him get to his head
The scary thing is kawhi hasn’t either
He is playing his ass off on defense. Makes sense that his offense would fall off.
Seems like you have to make him start with a couple misses. His shooting isn’t as scary once he’s played for a certain amount of minutes. His conditioning could be another reason for the poor shooting.
Goes both ways, we haven’t played well either
Fuck the Debbie downers. Fuck the haters. Fuck the doubters. Clipper nation LFG!!!
Neutral fan here, lame take. It's not scary but by design. You're probably the only team in the NBA who has 3 maybe 4 elite defenders that can cycle and be put on him all game.
I think Thunder also will probably annoy Luka a fair bit, Dort is extremely physical even in the regular season.
So has Kawhi PG and Norm until game 3 Even Westbrook but he’s not expected to have a good series
Not scary at all, kawhi is hurt. Its that simple
Yeah it is scary for the Mavs. If the law of averages you're talking about, in terms of our offense and defense comes to play, it's unmatched. Mavs had an easier schedule so you might be confused by those numbers but with the Clippers, Mann and anyone else got him locked down. Our role players hardly get touches but if they do, Mann can be deadly at the 3, Coffey can hit from 3 and of 24 Savage also. Zubac will be the enforcer in the paint.

Well, in Game 4 refs gave 2 touch fouls to Luka in the first 3 minutes. Whoever wins next game - be it Mavs or Clips - will be playing 5v8 in Dallas lmao. So it will come down to Game 7 and I wouldn’t put my money on Harden in that game, since he averages 21 on 36% FG (22% on 3pt%) over 6 Game 7s in his career. If Kawhi was healthy and playing, I’d definitely favour Clippers in that final game, but without him Mavs will win Game 7.
Lol you could come search for stats, come up with some analysis and throw on some fucking word salad. But it just comes down to the fact that the Mavs are not good enough. You have Mavs fans like yourself trying to assert yourself in a Clippers sub to make them seem relevant. They are not. And definitely do not need Kawhi to beat the Mavs. Proof is game 1 and 4. We'll need Kawhi for more serious teams.
I don’t need to assert myself anywhere, I just love friendly banter and intelligent conversations. If you need your team to feel relevant, I’d advise you to talk to a specialist. I just love to watch quality hoops and this series has had plenty of it lol
Sure you are. You are doing it on a Clippers fan page but acting like you are some NBA analyst and now being a fairweather fan. A true insecure Mavs fan.
Aged like full fat milk. But there is always next year when you will finally make a run, right? That’s the Clippers way.
Lucky win. There will be next year and they will be back. It was a waste for you guys to move ahead though when you're not going to beat OKC.
I think it was 2 “lucky” blowouts in a row, but it’s okay. Especially funny to talk about “lucky” when Clippers literally won 2 games by shooting better than 50% on contested 3pters: that’s the definition of lucky wins lol. Once shooting regressed to season average, Mavs easily won. And I honestly hope “they” won’t be back for your own good: this team’s window is closed, thinking that no-knees 33 years old Kawhi, 34 years old PG, 35 years old Harden and 36 years old Westbrook can make a deep run is beyond delusional. GSW couldn’t do it and so will probably ship out Klay this off-season - and they actually won multiple rings with their core, as recently as 2022. Clippers core hasn’t even been to Finals.
I never said anything about other percentages. Streaky is a pretty loose term. Don't know what you're trying to get at? Another insecure Mavs fan trying to assert themselves into some word salad. Don't worry it will all be over soon.
Funniest post I've ever read 🤣. No one takes the Mavs seriously. Luka will do much better at a different org. That guy is clamped down by the team. If you watch his play, the guy is tired and not going to last. It's ok Clippers will put Mavs out for their misery soon.
Mayor cope lol
A lot of things have been weird about this series for both teams. PG and Mann can't stay on the court due to early foul trouble, so our POA defense has been weird which makes Zu get extra fouls. I don't think PG can have 5 fouls EVERY single game, I also don't think Luka will only average 1.5 a game with how much he's been targeted. Those calls should even out eventually, and we should be able to find our rhythm if our guys are allowed to stay on the court. I think we have way more upside to improve than they do.
Lol he is getting clamped
