Clippers will rarely lose when Leonard + George combine for 50+. You have to contain one of the two.
Luka was great, but the turnovers are a legit problem. This was like a 500 yd, 5 TD, 4 INT performance. Awe inspiring but also quite flawed.

Clipper ref was in full swing. I was impressed with Luka. He will be trouble for years to come. George was clutch too. Just dislike refs taking over a game. Porzinguis should have known better. The first tech was unnecessary. The best play of the game was Morris running his mouth most likely...
Two long wings that can score 30 a piece on any given night, make plays, and play all nba defense will be a problem for any team in the league. It's unfair that the Clips have both of them on the same roster. Thankfully, Kawhi's longevity will be limited with his knee issue so he probably has less than five years left in the league.
Saw that in real time. They only called that because the Clippers were down double digits (and crying).
WWE basketball. No integrity. That's never changing.
The “air punch” automatic technical foul is one of the dumbest “respect for the game” rules in basketball. The only tech that might be dumber is when a player after a call takes the ball with two hands and pounds the ball like a hard dribble but catches it, and the ref says it’s a tech for slamming the ball. Thankfully I don’t see them call that as much. But I think the air punch is worse than the slapping the backboard after the dunk technical foul.
Should have thrown a chair like Scottie tbh
1-0 Refs.
And maybe the Mavs want to make less than 295 turnovers next game.
We need to rehire Nelly and relive the old days since we cant stop anyone. Boban can be our new Shawn Bradley.
Win 50+ every year, score 140 ppg and get ousted in RD 1 annually. Sounds like fun.
By the way, Luka reacted like a pussy when he got tangled up with Morris
How did you feel about Avery Johnson?
Clippers come out like gangbusters.
Inexperienced Mavs take one on the chin
Carlisle makes adjustments
"Croc" Rivers doesn't
Mavs start kicking the media darling's ass
Refs step in and ejects Unicorn on some bull
Media darlings win the game.
Is that about right Clipper Nation?
Luka 42/9/7 (playoff debut)
Kiwi 28/12/6 (def champ)
PG13 27/3/2 (Joe Ingles' seed)
Luka was the best player on the floor and is a top 5 playa right now. There will be no Luka slander on my watch. -20 points son
I'm not even a Mavs fan. "Air punching at an Official" is done every game. Eject Unicorn for that?
The clippers played pretty dirty against Luka. They took a lot of cheap shots but he still played through it at a high level. A lot of young players would have checked out mentally after the first 10 minutes but Luka stayed strong and ended up playing great. That's a sign of a superstar.

What Morris did was definitely intentional and unnecessary, but not that big of a deal either. But I think Luka just had enough at that point, bc he had just been ignoring all the other junk they were doing in the game. Even then, Luka didn't even give that much of a reaction, just jerked his arm away, made a comment and walked on
He touched the arm befor he got the ball
Good call tbh
Better than Porker....
I liked him. Bone head stubborn, but the guy had a set of Avacados bigger than most coaches today. You could hear his loud mouth barking at Dirk from the nose bleed section.
Exactly -- this beat down they are about to endure is going to do wonders for both he and Porzingis' maturation.
Why didn't the Mavs challenge?
What they aren't showing is the FACT that he actually hit Paul George's arm before the supposed "clean block".
I figured so. With the challenge rule, teams have no room to be ing about the officiating.
