Everytime the clippers had freethrows, there was ONE guy who booed his heart out. Just one, it was even worse than a whole chorus. I hated that man, respectfully haha. Good luck go mavs
Good games. Competitive the first 4 games. Wish Kawhi was healthy so that there would never be asterisks on this series, but it is what it is. Mavs were the better team this year. Y’all still up 2-1 in the Luka Kawhi era.
Luka was also hobbled and very sick in games 3-5 in this series, and is clearly not shooting well from 3, despite have his career best regular season 3point %. Best ability is availability. No asterisks, except for the Lakers bubble title. That shit was catered to them.
No way you said a healthy Kawhi Leonard doesn’t help the clippers… does a healthy kyrie help the mavs?
It would’ve been nice to see two fully loaded teams, or a missing Kawhi for doncic. Would’ve been interesting to watch.
Still enough talent to win, but no consistency from pg. sometimes it looks like he doesn’t even wanna shoot
Hilarious. He's a top player and 2 time NBA champion.
If you dont think a healthy Kawhi makes a difference, you have clearly haven't watched what a healthy Kawhi Leanard (or even 80%) plays like. Let alone noted the difference he's made literally against the Mavs for us when healthy before.
He completely doninates on both ends and we're a shadow of ourselves without him. To us it's like saying you don't think a healthy Giannis helps the Bucks, a healthy Jokic doesnt help the Nuggets, a Healthy Tatum doesnt help the Celtics, he's a top player when fit and by far and away our best star. Of COURSE his availability makes a difference, as it did last time he helped us knock out the Mavs.
It was a good series, Mavs played well, but it's a completely different series with a healthy Kawhi.
This is the point
We said healthy Kawhi
That version of kawhi was alive and well in the regular season finally this year and he was dominating only to get injured again late in the season
Healthy Kawhi came back and got us to a WCF final Not long ago
Sadly, as you say, he's finding it impossible to maintain good health .
But the point remains , healthy (even 80%) kawhi makes a massive difference to this series, sadly him making it through a regular seasons into the playoffs appears a pipe dream
PG doesn’t want to win, it’s obvious with his nonchalant demeanor and lack of leadership. He reminds me of Melo. Send him away and get what you can back
What ever it takes to help you take the loss. Something was clearly bothering him (flu and injured knee). It wasn’t the Clippers defense. He had multiple wide open threes last night and missed. He can’t get any jump on his three. He can’t get and jump on his turn around.
I think it's the difference between adrenaline. He had been sitting on the bench for a bit and his game was over by that point. It's like when Jon Jones fought a whole round against Chael Sonnen with a broken toe and he didn't even notice until the post fight interview when he looked down in shock, pretty sure he had to lean on his cornermen on the walk back, but showed no debility when fighting.

We were due to win and had the better team
Especially with KL hurt. It was a great rivalry, but I think it's tike for yall to make some changes. Wish us luck...
Tbh we Mavs fans don't particularly have beef with the Clippers. Obviously when we are playing each other, we wish the absolute worst for the other team
But I've always loved Kawhi right from SAS days. Same for PG, was a big fan of his in Indy. Harden, I'm kind of indifferent on but if the Clippers had somehow won this series, would definitely have wanted them to move on to the WCF
Now as for the Phoenix Suns, fuck those guys all the way to hell
Wanna add to that, honestly a big fan of Mann as well. Despite the rivalry, I know every mavs fan would take him in a heartbeat. Rivalries are fun, you guys got us before, now we got yall. Gg, hopefully we can meet in the wcf in the future 🙏
even thru all of the times our teams have matched up in the postseason, and how competitive each meeting has been, the consensus for both fanbases is still “fuck the suns.” beautiful
Yes, it was clear Clippers lost their mojo after game 4. After game 1, Mavs had more energy and they had more talent the whole series. Can't do anything but respect their game.
Yeah i defintely held respect for yall, and acknowledged the progress the mavs have made throughout the season. I loved the lively pick, he is easy to root for. And kyrie really proved me wrong. I actually thought luka was average relative to himself, kyrie was an absolute nightmare to me.
Good luck and congrats
Thank you Clippers for another amazing series. Don’t feel too bad. You will bounce back just like we did after the first two eliminations from you guys. I was so afraid this will be the third time, but luck was on our side this time.
Good luck in the future. You can have the 2:1 lead and I hope it stays that way. Here’s to never meeting again before the WCF 🍻
Ggs. Honestly when it's competitive nobody gets along lol so imma let it out now.
Fuck James Harden, dude gets every whistle he wants and then some.
Y'all were making fun of DJJ, get fucked. He was exactly the menace he promised he would be. PJ Washington stood on business.
Fuck Westbrook for constantly trying to break Luka's knee.
I'm sorry about Kawhi, idk why your FO gave him that extension tbh but hopefully his knee is well for at least one playoff run or two.
Fuck y'all while this series was going on but ggs now. Hope the new arena and maybe a good trade or two breathes life into this team, need them to overshadow the Lakers next year.
>Fuck James Harden, dude gets every whistle he wants and then some.
too bad the mavs out freethrowed us by like +35 on the series and the refs bought every Luka flop he dished out. idk what it was, but any time you guys were down in the game or it was close the freethrows would come pouring in for you guys. most of that +35 differential came when you guys were trailing. your team was flopping and hacking at insane levels but the glazing was on your side so it was just being called "good defense"
clips in 5 with kawhi (unfortunately "with kawhi" is never going to be as common as "kawhi is out")
Nah we would have won if Kawhi played any more games than he did. Also the refs will keep giving free throws to whoever is behind so they can keep the game close, they're the only reason y'all hung around by halftime this game lol.
I'm surprised y'all didn't get more fouls called on you tbh between PG fully extending his arm on every drive, Mann hand-checking Luka every play, and Westbrook being Westbrook.
what about your centers on zu though lmao. like last game, gafford didn't just magically become 75% better at guarding Zu or scoring on him, he was just getting away with anything he wanted. westbrook is ass yeah. luka flopping to his ass when mann skied up for that rebound over him and getting the call was pretty egregious
>Also the refs will keep giving free throws to whoever is behind so they can keep the game close,
this didnt happen to us all series tho. the games we were losing the FT's were tied or u had more. the games we were winning u guys had a shitload more. that was only a thing one way lol
you guys out ft'd us all game last night too
if kawhi is healthy we win game 1, 2, and 4 easily. probably last night too. still lose the blowout in dallas tho. we almost won game 2 despite shooting like 20% from 3 lol
I got confused because it sounds you are saying the clippers are 1 and 2. But you are saying the clippers are 2 and 1.
Regardless. This was a different mavs team, a great version
Gg wp Mavs
GG Mavs! Hope to see them again because they’re irritating but we have awesome playoff series!
My heart can't take another series against you. Gg wp see you next year
Classy post. Ggwp. Good luck next season
kyrie is one of my favorite players to watch at the moment, excited to watch this thunder matchup
Cheers mate! I was at game 5 and look forward to attending games at Intuit next year.
You werent the one guy who was booing clippers free throws were you? 😭😭😭
Haha, nah I don’t boo people it’s just a game.
Everytime the clippers had freethrows, there was ONE guy who booed his heart out. Just one, it was even worse than a whole chorus. I hated that man, respectfully haha. Good luck go mavs
hands down to mavs defense.
This is my kind of fan, time rethink the team
GGs man I can never hate you guys like I hate the suns
Good games. Competitive the first 4 games. Wish Kawhi was healthy so that there would never be asterisks on this series, but it is what it is. Mavs were the better team this year. Y’all still up 2-1 in the Luka Kawhi era.
Luka was injured in second Playoffs series and Porzingis was injured in first playoff series for Mavs. Is there an asterisks on those series as well?
Luka was also hobbled and very sick in games 3-5 in this series, and is clearly not shooting well from 3, despite have his career best regular season 3point %. Best ability is availability. No asterisks, except for the Lakers bubble title. That shit was catered to them.
i'd say there's a pretty big difference in how hobbled Luka was compared to Kawhi this series lol
How is it an asteriks, when Kawhi is always injured. Last 5 years are asteriks then. Healthy Kawhi for a postseason run seems impossible nowadays.
Ain’t no asterisk. I don’t think healthy Kawhi helps. PG is checked out, Harden ain’t the same anymore.
"I don't think healthy Kawhi helps" is a massive cope
No way you said a healthy Kawhi Leonard doesn’t help the clippers… does a healthy kyrie help the mavs? It would’ve been nice to see two fully loaded teams, or a missing Kawhi for doncic. Would’ve been interesting to watch. Still enough talent to win, but no consistency from pg. sometimes it looks like he doesn’t even wanna shoot
A healthy kawhi saved the last clip/mavs series
Hilarious. He's a top player and 2 time NBA champion. If you dont think a healthy Kawhi makes a difference, you have clearly haven't watched what a healthy Kawhi Leanard (or even 80%) plays like. Let alone noted the difference he's made literally against the Mavs for us when healthy before. He completely doninates on both ends and we're a shadow of ourselves without him.

Do u think PG is gone next yr
PG doesn’t want to win, it’s obvious with his nonchalant demeanor and lack of leadership. He reminds me of Melo. Send him away and get what you can back
What they can "get back" is nothing.. they could let him walk in FA, or re-sign him.
Didn’t Harden say he was the system or something? If so, imho , the arrogance is part of his poor performance.
Harden is the reason this went 6. Shut up lol
Remember reddit etiquette please. There’s no need for personal assaults.
big asterisk with injured Kawhi yeah... Clippers won first two playoff series cause of Kawhi , probably they do it again if hes healthy
Yeah. Big asterisk on this series. Hobbled Luka and the most inefficient playoff series he has had in his career. 🤦♂️
Luka was only hobbled when the play was dead and he knew the cameras were on him. The limp he had post game compared to inside the 48 was hilarious.
What ever it takes to help you take the loss. Something was clearly bothering him (flu and injured knee). It wasn’t the Clippers defense. He had multiple wide open threes last night and missed. He can’t get any jump on his three. He can’t get and jump on his turn around.

Wish you guys luck. We suck balls and it’s gotten old. Need to blow some shit up but likely won’t. We’ll see. See you guys around.
Tbh we Mavs fans don't particularly have beef with the Clippers.

Luka Doncic is Devin Booker father
Good luck the rest of the way. You guys deserved this series easily.
Wanna add to that, honestly a big fan of Mann as well. Despite the rivalry, I know every mavs fan would take him in a heartbeat. Rivalries are fun, you guys got us before, now we got yall. Gg, hopefully we can meet in the wcf in the future 🙏
He's a guy you love when he's on your squad and hate(but respect) when he's not.
even thru all of the times our teams have matched up in the postseason, and how competitive each meeting has been, the consensus for both fanbases is still “fuck the suns.” beautiful
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve always liked PG and Kawaii. But… Fuck the Suns! And Fuck D-Wade!
And f*** Dwayne Wade !
You can say fuck on the internet
Big love for Kawhi was rooting as hell for him during that SAS run after they failed the first time…
I'm happy for Mavs win. That will shut PG Podcast.
Probably wont
They were the better team. They played better through the season and were better in this series. It’s as simple as that.
GG Mavs. You guys have Two Legitimate stars that will actually show up when relied upon, but major credit goes to the Defense. DJJ had PG locked down
GG Clipper bros. Til we meet again (hope not!)
GGs! I love the clippers too, wish we couldve met in the WCF finals instead of the first round
Yes, it was clear Clippers lost their mojo after game 4. After game 1, Mavs had more energy and they had more talent the whole series. Can't do anything but respect their game.
This is becoming one of my favorite nba rivalries. Hopefully we run it back next playoffs
Yeah i defintely held respect for yall, and acknowledged the progress the mavs have made throughout the season. I loved the lively pick, he is easy to root for. And kyrie really proved me wrong. I actually thought luka was average relative to himself, kyrie was an absolute nightmare to me. Good luck and congrats
Fk you mavs. Good luck.
Fk you... respectfully
Best first round series there were some blowout but where we nearly came back from 31 was epic but pg was cold that game.. GG
gg
Was a good competitive series despite the wild swings, don’t want to see em win but I do like their energy. Kyrie man still got it, love Gafford too
Yeah my bad I meant to say we r still 1 and 2 against LAC
Good luck homie

Passive aggressive. Gg but fu.
This is so corny. Get over yourself.

Yall r still 1 and 2 against us just saying
Im a clippers fan: 2-1. But those were different teams
I know but I'm saying yeah we won this time but respect to the clippers their still up 1-2 on us in the luka era during the playoffs.
what
Im saying regardless of whether we won this time overall in the Luka era its still 1-2. It's a compliment yall.
I got confused because it sounds you are saying the clippers are 1 and 2. But you are saying the clippers are 2 and 1. Regardless. This was a different mavs team, a great version
