Ew ew, do one with Curry and Burke.  Both on is pretty amazing.

From this I mainly draw a conclusion, what an absolute defensive crap are the Clippers point guards without Beverly. Luka is mostly defended by other guys and there was time when none of Williams/Jackson was on floor, that's why his offense is a bit worse in that time. I guess Clippers match Burke with their PG and their defense just falls apart, because Mavs continously target Jackson and Williams. Mavs are playing very smart looking for mismatches all the time. They will have problems, if Clippers stop switching everything. Mavs were much better defensively in this regard - they switched everything in regular season but are much more disciplined in playoffs, especially on Kawhi.

Glad the hurricane did not take aim at the bubble...  Not that landfall anywhere is good, obviously.

That's going to make it tough on Luka and the Mavs to gut out another win, but maybe they can do it. It sucks because on one hand I think we would for sure win this series with a full 6 or 7 games of KP. That being said his overall health and long term here is much more important than a playoff game. Maybe he'll be available for game 6 or 7.

The Clippers are getting bailed out this series big time but I wouldn't underestimate what a positive impact it's having on this team and Luka. If we can get out of this series without serious injury to KP or Luka I will call it a huge morale victory that's going to propel this team to new heights.

That slow motion view REALLY makes it look like Morris did that intentionally. Gross. I have basically lost all respect for this Clippers team in the last 5 games. Total garbage.

Wow, Morris seems to be a real bitch.

[Thukydides]

Clippers are fucking up the game and the refs welcome them to do so. Officiating was atrocious tonight. Still when they hit 63% on their threes, there´s nothing you can do.

That unnatural movement of his leg shows he was aiming for Lukas ankle. Embarrassment to the league.


I really try to never wish injuries on players, but these Clippers are making it so hard to stick to that.

[StepBackJay]

I think the league should review it but honestly I think Morris is just guarding Luka after a made basket. The other angle looks better than the one I saw last night.

These tweets aren’t showing up for me. Do I need to change something in the settings? I also can’t read mavluvr’s posts because they are black on black.

[fifteenth]

I don't see the most recent ones either, Darth

Perfect time for the Mavs to "boycott" a game or two whilst KP's knees get a bit of a rest.

I guess this was the natural evolution of the NBA going all-in on BLM everything. From the court to kneeling to jerseys there was no way they were not going to eventually get into boycotts and here we are. Bubble could be over or suspended. If the latter that could be good news for our boy KP.
