GAME 6 Playoffs 2024: Dallas Mavericks (3-2) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (2-3)

[GATA]

Josh Green needs to take every Exum minute.

[DallasMaverick]

Mavs up over 47% FG. Clips below 40%.

[KillerLeft]

This MIGHT be the best version of the Mavs I’ve ever seen, defensively.

They’re not as consistent with it as the 2011 team, but the highs are higher.

[dirkfansince1998]

Incredible defense. Credit to Kidd. The Mavs have taken away the Zubac post up with well timed double teams and quick rotations.

[GATA]

Cannot let them go on another big run. Step on their throats

[Branduil]

The earth might be flat in Kyrie's world but his shot sure isn't.

Clips are ready for Cancun. Just withstand one more run and it's over

[The Jom]

Kyrie has been the best player in the series. Out played 4 hall of famers.

I’m not sure we can even expect another run. They are not playing team defense and they are shooting a lot of threes where no one but the ball handler touches the ball. Seems like they’ve tapped out to me.

[The Jom]

Putting Kyrie on Harden and DJJ on PG was key to the series. Speeding up the offense helped too. But those defensive moves were more significant from my seat.

[donzingis38]

thank you kai. what a second half so far

[GATA]

If they win this challenge…

Totally, but to your earlier point, it doesn’t work unless Kyrie makes it work.

[The Jom]

That right knee was soooooo far out from underneath his body. Bullshit if they reverse.

[ThisIStheYear]

If they sruck with the call against DJJ they stick with this one too.

[dirkfansince1998]

Kyrie has been the best player in the series. Out played 4 hall of famers.

Crazy part is that he basically skipped the first half in the entire series. In short stretches Kyrie can be the best player on the floor in any given matchup. I guess it would be too much to ask him to do it for an entire game or an entire series.
That's why he is at his best next to a high usage superstar like Luka (or LeBron in the past). He can pick his spots and doesn't need to carry the team all game long.

[GATA]

Pour it on!!

[Branduil]

Honestly the 5-minute replay break was way better for Luka than 1 ft, thanks Lue

[Luka77]

Harden wanted no part in challenging lively 1 one on 1

[fifteenth]

White flag time TL?

[Branduil]

Harden wanted no part in challenging lively 1 one on 1

His defense as a rookie is unreal
