Mavs is lack of defense and subas to strong in the lowpose . Kyrie is one of the key if he can more handle the ball cause luka is already anticipated . And do not allow the clippers to have more advantage specialty don't let it get too much out of the score
I was worried about that long break before the playoffs. Kidd should've at least had them play a half game so they don't come out flat
This is a disgraceful loss by the Mavs at home. Losing to the Clippers at home without them having Kawhi is terrible. Jason Kidd is on the hot seat! He won't be the coach next year if the Mavs lose in the first round.
Nothing could’ve prepared me to expect this
The underdog going wild🔥💯
Until the mavs take the lead in the series i would just rest kawhi
the battle for LA in round 2 is gonna be a must watch
😂 Looove it amd most of that 2nd half "comeback" coming when LA had a near 30pt lead and took their foot off the gas, TFOH, no Kawai and PG played mid, Mavs with 20 more fee throws lololol Yall should be worrrrrried!
I hope Mavs fire Kidd after they lose this series
The next 4 games will be mavs game
wtf, harden pushed off multiple times, throwing JOnes to the ground and ref didn't call it.
welcome back houston harden
Luka IS THE PROBLEM…..He holds the ball way too long and it stops ball movement. Look at how the game runs with just Kyrie at the point and Luka out of the game. Free movement
Both teams are my favorite😅😅😅😅
If Westbrook's ang harder surpass this playoffs and they get the spot in the finals, we know kawhi will do everything to get the champ.
I hate to see my mavs lose but If y’all do beat us. I’m rooting for yall to make it out the west and finally get harden and my boy Russ especially a ring.
Where the mavs commentator who said clippers are screwed
Clippers is better without kawhi😂😂😂
The way ive seen the mavs play, really getting pj and gafford involved, they look unstoppable. Didnt aatch the game but from the highlights it looked like a one man show, split between luka and kyrie. Clippers have size and finese, they have to play better team ball, itherwise the clippers will.just keep forcing luka to play defense on pg westbrook and harden. They will loose the series with if that continues.
The MF beard man omg, he's back!🎉
Amazing Game but Mavericks we need a better defense & better our Centers
Harden is the biggest mismatched nightmare for Luka and the clippers guards are going to wear Kyrie down this series. Clippers 4-2.
Jason Kidd is not a winning coach
No one on the Mavs can guard a dialed in harden.
We got bitched . Luka needs to drop the IPAS and pick back up the ball. J Kidd needs to figure out the rotation and lineups. This should be a dog vs dog mathcup not just scoring! Go mavs
Dwight Powell & maxi kleber out we need younger & taller C
Dallas still cant beat the clippers it will most likely be clippers in 7 but the clips will definitely beat Okc or New Orleans in 6 and then the clips will lose to Denver in 6
Harden will fold as soon as his shot not falling
Luka is not a superstar without the refs help
It's so easy to forget how much of a threat James Harden is from the perimeter. He's lost several steps attacking the rim, but his pullup game from deep is still there. Paul George always looks like he's falling until he straightens up and drills a shot from anywhere off the backrim.
3:48 those type of calls are so bs and cringe.
Ooooooooh-weeeeee…..dang! The real crown of L.A.
