GAME 1 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (0-0) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (0-0)

[ThisIStheYear]

Maxi trying to defend the wrong hand on that three. Not ready to play. The little things.

[SleepingHero]

Tough first quarter. Mavs of old mistakes coming through. Timmy dumb fast break resulted in a 5 point turnaround.

Mavs offense really stagnated right now with little ball movement. Luka not making the best reads and not actually attacking Zubac.

Kyrie a little cold.

Need to start rim pressure and most importantly defending a bit better.

Let's hope they can

[Chicagojk]

Mavs got hit in mouth pretty good in the first quarter. Really contesting Mavs shots and not getting any easy baskets and hitting all of their threes plus zubac playing well. Let’s see how Dallas responds

[Mavs2021]

Luka should always go inside first. If they take away the lob threat he should have lay-up after lay-up. Also not pushing the pace at all against Harden legs and big Zubac.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs are really not sharp right now. Luka falling in love with the 3. Lively missing a layup.

No rebounding.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Clippers dominating them so far.

[SleepingHero]

Luka should always go inside first. If they take away the lob threat he should have lay-up after lay-up. Also not pushing the pace at all against Harden legs and big Zubac.

Agreed. He's fallen in love with the 3 and is settling over and over. 

Everyone else seems rattled.

Well not good.  Mavs being out hustled.

Clippers are going to force Jones, pj, maxi and Exum to make shots.  We will see this all series

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Hope they weren't reading all those press clippings praising them.

[Mavs2021]

Wow we look like sh*t. Everybody looks off.  Luka refuses to drive, they take away the lob and say: Make shots. We don´t believe you.

In an away game, Luka should have gone inside early to settle everybody down, instead he took a few dumb stepback threes.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

The home team has won every game so far in the playoffs. Can they be the 1st to change the narrative?

[SleepingHero]

Really really low iq play by gafford. He's shitting the bed

[SwisherPrice]

DJJ playing elite defense...pay him! (in 2025)

[HoosierDaddyKid]

2-14 from 3 won't cut it.

[SleepingHero]

SO many wasted chances.

Mavs look rattled

[Chicagojk]

Seven threes from Luka in the middle of the second wasn’t on my bingo card

[dirkfansince1998]

2/14 from 3. And to make things worse the playoff novices in the front court aren't ready for the moment.

[Mavs2021]

Maybe if he was 5-7.

[Chicagojk]

Let’s try to get it down to 10 or lower by half.

[Mavs2021]

2/14 from 3. And to make things worse the playoff novices in the front court aren't ready for the moment.

30/14/80 shooting. Good lord.
