Rick is the best coach in the league. Period.

If the Mavs hit their FT's it would've been a freaking blowout.

I currently look like this in my house

The Mavs shooting the three ball OUT OF THEIR MINDS for two straight games makes him the best coach??

Again, I want to see the Mavs win UGLY when they aren't freaking on fire from three and THEN we can start having some of these conversations.

I also got to mention; yes KP was a freaking idiot going out and violating league protocols. It left a sour taste in my mouth and made me question where his priorities lie in the playoffs.

He started slow this game and despite some good contests he did get cooked in the first. BUT he picked it up in the 3rd, routinely making good defensive plays. He shot super efficiently and ended with a 20 point night on 8/12 shooting (should've been 9/11 and 22 if he didn't flub that easy alley-oop too).

Needless to say he avoids my wrath because of that. Hope KP brings it even more for game 3.

God these last three minutes were so awful. So many wasted opportunities, so many bad decisions. Those FTs. F***. 9/20. Also put Dorian back in. He might be cold, but the Clippers still respect him more than Richardson and he helps defensively.

Play off basketball. It is always very hard, totally stressful and so much fun.

Porzingis played a great second half. His play not only brought another dimension to the Mavs offense but led to a big confusion in Clippers’ defensive priorities as well.

He was much, much better tonight. Not MAX CONTRACT good, mind you, but much better than game 1. It's a start, and I hope it gives him some confidence.
