GAME 2 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (0-1) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (1-0)

[KillerLeft]

This is the team's best lineup by a mile, so if they're going to make a move, now is the time.

[BolsDamols]

There we go Luka!

[KillerLeft]

Spacing is so, so, so much better with Kleber at the 5, and he and PJ are a force on defense.

I would've gone to this gear earlier.

[GATA]

Maxi is the MVP thus far

Lineup was +7 in game one. Need to trust Kleber. Gafford has been unplayable and Lively lacks the experience.

[GATA]

You have to go Maxi and Green the rest of the game

[Jason Terry]

PJ might be the worst starter in the game

I don’t get this. He’s our best starter tonight. And this playoffs he’s shown he’s the clear 3rd best player on the team

Yep. The frustrating thing is Lively should be owning the paint on both ends. He’s right there, you can just tell his mind is not fully in it. And he’s not as aggressive. He SHOULD be the guy though

Your problem is that you're assuming the guy you're quoting knows basketball, when he very clearly doesn't. Just ignore him. He's making himself miserable being overly negative, anyway.

Finally PJ shows something

You're right, but he'll get there. 

Pretty clear (imo, at least) that he's better already than Gafford, though.

[BolsDamols]

Don't like that shot by Luka

what is he so mad about anyway?

Himself.

[Chicagojk]

Huge play by PJ.

Don’t settle luka

I don't even have to check the numbers to know it's been a massive plus since the trade deadline. My only hope is that Kidd was trying to hold it in reserve and not give it away early in the series. But at this point, they need to steal one on the road, and that's the lineup that has a prayer of getting it done.

[GATA]

Going to need to score a 100 to win probably

[GATA]

PJ clueless

[GATA]

Maxi needs a raise

[ThisIStheYear]

Finally!

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Luka just put them away.
