P(g) = probability that Clippers win the game
P(S) = probability that Clippers win the series
P(g) P(S)
0.5 18.75%
0.55 25.62%
0.6 33.70%
0.65 42.84%
0.68619 50.00%
0.7 52.82%
0.71534 56.00%
0.75 63.28%
0.8 73.73%
Obviously, this series will be decided on the basketball court rather than by coin flips [and P(g) is surely not constant from game to game], but this exercise should at least prove how much a fish needs a bicycle.
OK, guys ...
I was just kidding about the coin flips. These are the real probabilities that really apply to the real-world situation involving the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Something really unlikely happened?
His bookie called?
He's thinking about correlation and causation?

He ran out of graph paper?
He's having trouble isolating the variable?

Keep going on the possibilities. Eventually we'll figure it out and rescue Hogmelon.
Perhaps we Davinci Code this. Maybe his NAME is the clue!!

Hogmelon got too close to the truth and now Luka and the Illuminati are trying to silence him. Only Harrison Barnes can save him.

On the day I was born, a Philadelphia Warriors rookie by the name of Wilton Norman Chamberlain scored 58 points and grabbed 42 rebounds in a 127-117 win over the Detroit Pistons. Twenty-seven days later, Chamberlain scored 58 points again in a 129-122 win over the New York Knicks. This record (most points by a rookie in one NBA game) still stands.

Good analysis. Not as hilarious as those two black dudes but a good video. Luka's just too good. Gives me hope that we can win two more games in this series.

Late in the third quarter of Game 2, the Clippers desperately needed a defensive stop, so they tried pulling the ace out of their sleeve. Kawhi Leonard, the superstar who has earned a reputation as one of the premier stoppers in NBA history, matched up against Luka Doncic.
The Mavericks responded by clearing out the right side of the court and letting their superstar go to work. Doncic backed down Leonard, pounding dribble after dribble until he got to the spot he wanted, then pivoted into a pretty one-legged fadeaway that surely made Staples Center spectator and Mavs legend Dirk Nowitzki proud.
Swish.
