GAME 5 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (2-2) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (2-2)

I'm worried about Luka's shot

[dirkfansince1998]

Shocking

Shocking part is that DJJ is shooting better than everyone not named Irving or Kleber over the last four games.

[KillerLeft]

Aaaaaand two fouls on Luka again. No way to challenge.

[donzingis38]

Luka should just keep driving to the basket.

[KillerLeft]

I’m pretty sick of seeing Gafford shoot that floater off the short roll.

[KillerLeft]

Could’ve been worse, since the 3 ball isn’t dropping again.

[GATA]

Exum and Gafford are unplayable right now. Let’s see Hardy

[Branduil]

If the Mavs are going to shoot 10% on threes every game it will be impossible to win

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Exum and Gafford are unplayable right now.  Let’s see Hardy

Don't know what happened to Exum. He's really fell off.

[dirkfansince1998]

Could’ve been worse, since the 3 ball isn’t dropping again.

Problem is that the 3 hasn't been dropping at all series long. As the resident stat nerd I am desperately waiting for the regression to the mean but I guess in a seven same sample size it's possible to have seven games like this.

Don't know what happened to Exum. He's really fell off.

I know exactly what happened. He absolutely refuses to shoot. You cannot pass up open shots in the playoffs.

[Luka77]

Aaaaaand two fouls on Luka again. No way to challenge.

Both of those were touch fouls.  PG and Zubac fall when barley touched.

[donzingis38]

This Clips team is just so tough. Just win every quarter with one point

[dirkfansince1998]

Hard close out on Westbrook. Giving up the baseline drive. Exum didn't read the scouting report.

[KillerLeft]

I kind of think this is the mean now. I miss the 5-out Mavs so much. This athletic, defensive-minded version of the team has been fun, but I’m sooooo sick of the bricks.

[KillerLeft]

There you go, Gafford!

[KillerLeft]

Green playing this poorly on both ends isn’t helping. He could help a lot by getting out of this funk.

[Branduil]

Finally

[KillerLeft]

Having PJ bring the ball up is genius.

[KillerLeft]

PJ Washington came to play tonight. Making a difference on both ends. He NEEDS to start hitting his 3’s though.
