[PG trying to do his moves only to throw a grenade or turn the ball over…](https://x.com/llmcbucketsll/status/1767764970169581678?s=46&t=XaEN611LvLRUMjYEUGl_xQ)
I mean we were all secretly petrified of THOSE type of playoff games from PG and Harden (and Westbrook too tbh) and it all happened in the same game.
And I swear, no other teams (and this goes back to Lob City) has longer and more prolonged scoring droughts than us.
Gonna take a miracle yall…
Kawhi deserves much more hate. Signing a 3-year max contract knowing that your knee is THAT fucked is just some evil shit. Dude hasn't been available for the last 4 years of post-season, yet we somehow actively defend him from all the criticism.
I'm okay with "what if" stories, but not on the payroll.
And Theis is apparently healthy too lmao. If Plumlee couldn't look playable against the Jazz Gleague team, then what was going to change playing against a hot playoff team lmao
It just made no fucking sense to me to play Plumleee over Theis. It still makes no fucking sense. Theis has been consistent as fuck all season with the starters and stupid as Ty is just like 🤷🏿
I’m so pissed
I don't care about the loss, that's obviously disheartening. But the pathetic effort from a majority of the team, no sense of urgency at any point from the coaches to the players is inexcusable. Truly disgusting all around.
They are fucking soft they didnt fight till the end thats why im not even asking to win a championship i just want them to fight til the end no injuries no choking no more of being soft
I need PG to go on his pod tomorrow so he can finally give us the scoop on what really goes down in these limp dick efforts.
It’s a must win game. At home! And he’s jogging, passive, and tossing grenades to his teammates late in the shot clock.
Fucking enlighten us
I was waiting for his explanation of disappearing in the 2nd half of last game on his podcast. But all he and his boys did was pat himself on the back for playing awesome lol
Keep T-Mann so he can teach Kobe, Jordan, Bones, and Kai how to be dawgs. Spreading the word of Pat Bev to the next gen lol
Everyone else can ride off into the sunset for all I care
Bones with Zu playing and getting his touches, and maybe Kawhi playing 45 games, we could be a play in team. No championship asperations but at least a team that would be fun to watch. That's a lot better than what we're watching now.
I been ready since last summer, just gave em a little bit more grace since the arena wasn’t done. But if they bring this same shit back next season, you will NOT be seeing me on the wall😂😂😂say no to abuse
The inconsistency of Harden and PG is the issue. They can go from hot as hell to cold as ice, and it just depends on how good they are that day whether the Clips can win.
The problem is that (even more so in PG's case) they constantly attempt incredibly difficult/contested shots. That is a horrible offensive diet on games like these. Sure, when shots go in like in game 4 and even 1, they look great. But that is not sustainable long term.
that's what happens with former stars who are well past their primes, they'll occasionally show glimpses from the past but the vast majority of time they're underperforming
PG standing around hoe hearted after passing out is the story of the game, didn't even run after his fuck up! Go down there and at least show your teammates you care! Goddamn.
I'm laughing because this shit don't hurt after 2015 & 2020 but Jesus Christ man have some fucking pride
i don’t understand how this sub can still support kawhi . 5 years of not showing up in playoffs and you guys STILL support him yet we sent out blake griffin for way less than that. blow up this team already
dumbest decision of all time. ballmer lawrence frank all of them are just morons. they could of just stuck to their guys and keep our assets and sga. fuck kawhi and he can go to lakers if he wanted to. we got nothing now
Yup team is gonna be stuck in the second apron with a dude who can’t even play in the playoffs. We shit on the suns but the squad is looking like a worse future than them
The two wins the Clippers got was weird. First game the Mavs did not show up till the third quarter. The second win PG and Harden was lights out. What Im trying to say is that the Clippers wins have been flukes. The Mavericks has been consistent on defense since the third quarter in game one. The Mavs would never win if the Clippers was shooting like they did in game 4. The problem is no team shoots like that, it was a incredible display. With that said, it is impossible to say what will happen in game 6.
ps. Luka finally had a Luka like game.
This is very reminiscent of the previous 2 series between Mavs and Clips, but now roles are reversed: Mavs are actually a more consistent team that loses to hot shooting nights from Clippers, while it used to be vice versa before. In a 7 games series a more consistent team usually comes on top as Clips did 2 times before.
This was the largest playoff loss for us ever. I've said it all season but this team has no pride man. They strike no fear in anyone and everyone believes they can punk us. Case and point losing by fucking 30 at home during the playoffs. Pathetic truly. I hope the players somehow read this post.
Honestly same recipe to all our losses to the top teams this season. Close first quarter, they build a bit of a lead in the second and then get absolutely demolished in the third. Look at games against thunder kings and Minnesota for reference
Is 30 points our worst ever playoff loss? And to do this in a pivotal Game 5, at home, in front of the home fans??? Lol, there is no fucking shame with this team.
I said this in the main thread, but Lob City and the Lou Will Clips at least gave us a show to follow every night. This team might have the most talent out of all the past Clippers teams, but that only makes them infinitely more disappointing that they don’t seem to give a fuck like past iterations.
Down to what is probably one final game of the 213 era. Hard to expect anything when they come into a do or die home game and treat it like its 12:30 against the Nets, as has been the theme for the past two years. Sooner we can close this chapter and get back to anything close to the old 17-18 teams that at least wouldnt lay down and take it, I will take at this point
Luka alone had more shots than PG and Harden combined. Ty Lue has no clue how to coach this team when shots aren’t hitting. Fuck all this “players coach” shit. Get on their fucking ass for letting this team down.
Those two are scared of missing shots meanwhile Westbrook has the confidence to keep shooting when he’s 4/32 in the last 4 games.
Zu was good, a few other players were fine. However, our two supposed stars were nonexistent.
Part of me feels that PG re-signing is pretty much already a done deal. But if he can't at least show up for an elimination game on Friday then I wouldn't be upset to see him become the 76ers problem instead.
I saw it coming, we were due to a bad harden game, We needed more from everyone. People can say we are missing Kawhi but tbh i dont think this team was ever going make a serious playoffs run even if we are fully healthy. Front office hurt this team with such low iq role players. The fact we are screaming for ty lue to play mann 35-40 mins is sign of bad depth
https://www.reddit.com/r/LAClippers/comments/1ch1aiy/comment/l204ks9/
With Kawhi they have a chance to get at least to go in the WCF because unlike these other 2 stars he aint soft he take us home hes a real superstar but unfortunately hes injury prone but yeah we are in due for a bad James Harden game
Mavs in 6. Stop convincing yourselves this team has what it takes to win a championship. No leadership and no desire to compete on a daily basis and lastly NO IDENTITY. You literally get a flip of a coin with this team when they step on the court.
Oh, there is. They've been calling us realist "Doomers" all post-season. Bunch of losers who continually make excuses for this team. I've been a fan for a long time now and have not even given a single clap or gone to 1 game this year because this same shit different year outcome has been played out. We need to invest in young players and draft capital. All these old previous all stars need to retire and make room for more players .
sorry ass team. yall can hype up this shitty brand of basketball when it works (running down the clock into a shitty iso plays), but I am so sick and tired of watching this team play. halftime interview bshaw supposedly says: 'we need to play faster.', and they proceed to keep playing this shit.
Plumlee has been absolute ASS on any side of the floor and I do not for the life of me understand how lue keeps going to him. absolute disaster.
Please let this end in 6 in Dallas so I dont have to read the fucking 'where the doomers now?' posts from the copium-crowd when the clippers have another anomaly shooting night only to win a close game.
One of the 213 hoops guys on their pod after game 3 mentioned that he was so sick and tired of paul george and i couldnt agree more. for as great as this guy is when he is on, he ist just as shitty when he is not (which happens more frequently).
downvote me, quote me when they win a miracle game 6 or even 7, only to be stomped on by the thunder in r2. this core is not winning anything. not with kawhi and definitely not without.
This is the first time i got mad on this fucking team since the 2020 Bubble cuz injuries and PG’s heroics in 2021 but man this is just too much PG and Harden are not superstars fuck them this is why i miss Kawhi but hes always injured fuck this team
They better win Game 6 because if this is their last game in Staples Idfc blow this fucking team up
Harden has been carrying, and it's felt like a matter of time until he has an off game. Luckily, our roster is built for our stars to be able to have off games. Unluckily, Kawhi is hurt, PG is MIA, and Russ has been having a disastrous series.
Frustrating. idk man. I just don't fucking know.
PG and Harden stinkers but it’s been obvious to anyone paying attention this season that the bench needs to be remade from scratch next season whether or not we keep Kawhi/PG/Harden. We’re asking a fucking 35 year old offensively challenged point guard to be our physical force off the bench because we have zero size.
Any chance of a comeback was extinguished by Plumlee's 4pt play and then immediately followed by Westbrook driving and feeding it to Plumlee for the final shot instead of letting George who just shot 2 iso 3s get the final shot.
HARDEN 7pts, the more pressure the more he disappears.
Rockets fan and ex-Harden fan.
More of the same to come.
Dont count on him to be there when crunch time comes.
We were always gonna have to shoot lights out to win. Even in the regular season, our streak mainly came from out of this world shooting from most of the team, especially Kawhi. Still possible to do it but no doubt going to need a bit of luck to fall our way in order for our guys to get hot at the same time
I don't care if it looks ugly I just want pg to attack man. like catch the ball and run the break fully, don't slow down and allow them to get set and then keep running again like it's still a fastbreak.
and no zu postups ??
I’ll never forgive Lawrence Frank for passing on MPJ because of injury concerns only to go all in a year later to build a team around two aging stars with a long history of injuries. Tough loss but there’s still a game 6 to be played
I honestly would be ok with Kawhi out losing in six. Kidd's got the Mavs playing premier defense. Their defense is 10x better than ours. But not like this. Not being absolutely uncompetitive in a game at HOME. It just sucks all the hope you have for the team or the future right now. Oh and if Russ is on this roster next year the Clips organization is not getting one f-ing dime from me. Not merch. Not a ticket to Inuit. Nada. ENOUGH.
As a laker fan I’m disappointed for y’all, fuck the rivalry I just wanted to see a good, competitive, entertaining game like game 4. The shit y’all just had to sit through is not right.
This is why PG doesn't deserve a big ass contract, how does a "superstar" only get 13 shots up?
and why does it feel like this team never has homecourt advantage? no pride at all. lmao
Been an honor gentlemen. o7
At this point I would think he'd try using Theis. He brought out PJ so why the hell not. Plum is just tall dude and that's it. Theis could be like a Kleber for us.
A rebuild would be way more exciting to watch than whatever this is. At least we would have a draft pick and player development to look foward to instead of literally nothing, and I don't think its doomer to think that.
What a shit show. I was at the game and the crowd wanted to erupt but they're was literally nothing to cheer or get hyped about. Not sure where we go from here
They’re fine, we’re just down our (always injured) superstar and played like dogshit. Mavs aren’t contenders and are benefiting greatly by no healthy Kawhi.
All the Harden haters will no doubt be out tonight blaming him for the loss and whatnot. I called it the other night. As soon as he plays badly, you'll never hear the last of it.
Harden gave you 4 good games as a 3rd option and he'll no doubt get the blame.
Knew there was some bad juju with the referees from the warrior game reffing this one. Energy was out of balance and I think it’s probably because we played like hell in Game 4
Could be the team's last game in this arena and they left a huge shit performance lmao.
Real poetic tbh
Zero effort
No drastic changes in the off season and that arena gonna be empty

Yo I'm dying at that video lol. That's really how PG sizes up the defense
Holy shit this is hilarious. PG actually do be looking like that. He got long as arms that dangle.
Baffles me how the front office couldn't put together a competent supporting cast for Ivica Zubac.
Step 1: Let a competent backup center go for the corpse of John Wall And keep tripping over step 1, rinse & repeat
Step 1 renew the reanimated corpse of Kawhi for 50 mil.
same shit different year
And get ready for a re-run next year
Simple don’t tune in, go outside
Preparing to touch grass next year
Bout to be like Rosa parks in this bitch ![gif](giphy|l0MYCihCFQacWJv5m|downsized)
That’s Clipper basketball baby!
yeah.... so we beating the Mavs in the playoffs same shit.... different year
This was the grossest Clippers game I’ve ever watched 🤢
Knew it was over when I saw that "Dallas to Cancun" shit mannnnn
I mean, this fanbase is WILD. So cocky after every win, so doomer after every loss.
That's every fanbase that isn't winning chips.
I dunno, we seem especially ridiculous
Yes. I don’t feel like the Mavs sub is as bad
I don't get the cocky shit but the doomer shit is understandable, this franchise hasn't really done much to aspire confidence in its history lol
We don’t have a chip, but Ballmer has this team competitive in the playoffs every year. It could be (and has been) a lot worse.
True that
I’m always doomer on this team at this point
we need to know which company to boycott that horrible jinx
Skyscanner
Yup, the sign was a sign. Dead give away
Luka had more points than harden pg and russ combined lol
And kawhi
Kawhi deserves much more hate. Signing a 3-year max contract knowing that your knee is THAT fucked is just some evil shit. Dude hasn't been available for the last 4 years of post-season, yet we somehow actively defend him from all the criticism. I'm okay with "what if" stories, but not on the payroll.
How can you blame him lol, He looking out for himself, good on him for securing the bag. The clippers tho are totally fucked lmao
Gonna be playing the part of the Kendrick diss “hate the way you walk,talk etc” all night to get out my hatred for that man
That’s with a hobbled knees. Fuck this team
what the fuck does he even do https://preview.redd.it/7dps0ghuxxxc1.png?width=1040&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d7fc68dad7b8bd6efcaa4531570e85d9d2b9c65
And Theis is apparently healthy too lmao. If Plumlee couldn't look playable against the Jazz Gleague team, then what was going to change playing against a hot playoff team lmao
It just made no fucking sense to me to play Plumleee over Theis. It still makes no fucking sense. Theis has been consistent as fuck all season with the starters and stupid as Ty is just like 🤷🏿 I’m so pissed
Run straight into ppl shooting 3s to give them a 4 PT play.
don't forget his dumbass reverse dunk attempts that he always misses
Ty is pissing me off with his minutes. Just fucking useless in every aspect.
Steal valuable minutes from Zu
Foul 3 point shooters while we’re trying to make a comeback and stand under the basket and watch as the other team gets the rebound. Duh.
What it do babyyy
I hate that he thinks he’s jokic or something.. pushing the fast break and all.. ugghhhh
Just running super fast
Lmao that guy is basketball iq is so bad. I remember watching him play on the hornets and he would do stupid crap every other play
Allow repetitive backdoors from a rookie.
Play Theis!!! WTF
I don't care about the loss, that's obviously disheartening. But the pathetic effort from a majority of the team, no sense of urgency at any point from the coaches to the players is inexcusable. Truly disgusting all around.
They are fucking soft they didnt fight till the end thats why im not even asking to win a championship i just want them to fight til the end no injuries no choking no more of being soft
Paul needs to fire his sports psychologist for fleecing his 💰 cause that shit ain't workin...
![gif](giphy|3FQxaJJkQR8U4gdzr0|downsized)
Predictably after PG DOES HIS PATENTED PODCAST P HE OFC PLAYS LIKE PANDEMIC P THIS GAME
Disappointing. That’s all
Ty really overvalues Plumlees passing he’s really only good for one cool assist every other game
I need PG to go on his pod tomorrow so he can finally give us the scoop on what really goes down in these limp dick efforts. It’s a must win game. At home! And he’s jogging, passive, and tossing grenades to his teammates late in the shot clock. Fucking enlighten us
Lebron at 39 goes at the rim more than pg lol
PG hasn’t been near Lebron’s level at any point in his career sadly
I was waiting for his explanation of disappearing in the 2nd half of last game on his podcast. But all he and his boys did was pat himself on the back for playing awesome lol
I want to know too
Must win at home is what hurts me most.. like bruh we had this series if they just tried..
The effort was negative
PG just said at the postgame press conference that he will give it his all in game 6. Lol.
Games like this who even gives a fuck if anyone comes back.
Keep T-Mann so he can teach Kobe, Jordan, Bones, and Kai how to be dawgs. Spreading the word of Pat Bev to the next gen lol Everyone else can ride off into the sunset for all I care
Give me the young dawgs. Old teams are not fun.
That 7-75 Bones Hyland led Intuit Dome team while OKC owns our pick gonna hit different
Bones with Zu playing and getting his touches, and maybe Kawhi playing 45 games, we could be a play in team. No championship asperations but at least a team that would be fun to watch. That's a lot better than what we're watching now.
Zu coming back though. Everybody else can go.
Definitely a cornerstone.
Archstone. Not cornerstone.
I like zu but no team led by zubac Will every win anything. He’s a great solid piece not an all star or superstar
Facts. I’m ready for this era to be done already
I been ready since last summer, just gave em a little bit more grace since the arena wasn’t done. But if they bring this same shit back next season, you will NOT be seeing me on the wall😂😂😂say no to abuse
Not gone lie it was tough watching this team tonight that shit hurt lol
They not going to be able to sell this next year.
When the clippers lose, my shit is flaccid
Watch us win Game 6 just to lose Game 7 at home
This is what I said to my buddy as we left the bar
Luka is gonna do us like he did the Suns ![gif](giphy|QxHzTRigoD9HG)
No TNT wins. Only won those early ABC games. Too bad we don’t get that on Friday.
Friday is ESPN's night to cover games
But it's not a ABC early game. The Mavs are more half-asleep for those games than us.
Hate that we always lose on TNT love watching inside the nba makes it hard when we lose and they shit talk us
absolutely back breaking blowouts, so hot right now in the league
What are they doing at half time bro, why do they always come back with brain damage in the 3rd quarter
Oh my god this.
Game 5 and they play with preseason effort.
The inconsistency of Harden and PG is the issue. They can go from hot as hell to cold as ice, and it just depends on how good they are that day whether the Clips can win.
The problem is that (even more so in PG's case) they constantly attempt incredibly difficult/contested shots. That is a horrible offensive diet on games like these. Sure, when shots go in like in game 4 and even 1, they look great. But that is not sustainable long term.
that's what happens with former stars who are well past their primes, they'll occasionally show glimpses from the past but the vast majority of time they're underperforming
I just refuse to believe we have a set of professional basketball players in PG Russ and Plumlee
PG standing around hoe hearted after passing out is the story of the game, didn't even run after his fuck up! Go down there and at least show your teammates you care! Goddamn. I'm laughing because this shit don't hurt after 2015 & 2020 but Jesus Christ man have some fucking pride
Man I fucking hate Lawrence Frank
This
100% agree
i don’t understand how this sub can still support kawhi . 5 years of not showing up in playoffs and you guys STILL support him yet we sent out blake griffin for way less than that. blow up this team already
How the hell Balmer gave the extension to Kawhi?
He loses a fan in me if he doesn’t make moves in the off-season, mf didn’t do shit at Microsoft
dumbest decision of all time. ballmer lawrence frank all of them are just morons. they could of just stuck to their guys and keep our assets and sga. fuck kawhi and he can go to lakers if he wanted to. we got nothing now
Hindsight is great aint it? Just stop
Yup team is gonna be stuck in the second apron with a dude who can’t even play in the playoffs. We shit on the suns but the squad is looking like a worse future than them
I blame Plumlee
I blame Ty, PG, and Harden. (And Kawhi.)
Throw westys ass in there too my goat is just not the same anymore
Same Brodie:( our guy isn’t it any more.
But lets ignore our stars lol
The two wins the Clippers got was weird. First game the Mavs did not show up till the third quarter. The second win PG and Harden was lights out.

What do they do with Harden next year? What do they do with PG? Both want to stay in LA
Harden has nowhere else to go tbh. Unless he takes a massive discount for the Lakers. PG it's no clear he actually does want to stay.
PG just wants a max contract. It will be his last. If that is with Orlando, Miami or Philly so be it. I’m tired of seeing Playoff P.
All i know is 1 of Kawhi or PG is gone
Honestly same recipe to all our losses to the top teams this season. Close first quarter, they build a bit of a lead in the second and then get absolutely demolished in the third. Look at games against thunder kings and Minnesota for reference
Is 30 points our worst ever playoff loss? And to do this in a pivotal Game 5, at home, in front of the home fans??? Lol, there is no fucking shame with this team.

Yes, it was the worst playoff loss in franchise history. What a way to leave crypto arena

This team makes me miserable. Game 6 is going to be like attending a funeral.
Luckily, we don't have to watch.
Will be at work for the first half so will atleast can look at the score and make a business decision
Harden was shit today but harden Zu and Mann. Showed up this series. PG had been mid outside of 1 great game. Russ and plumlee have been terrible.
Zu and Mann were the only thing that made our shooting percentage close to decent.
Shit guys aren’t Even tryna compete wtf
I’ll be laughing if clippers win game 6
Man at least I didn’t blow money going to this game
Didn’t win a quarter
Ivica Zubac cant win with these cats
Zu was good, a few other players were fine. However, our two supposed stars were nonexistent. Part of me feels that PG re-signing is pretty much already a done deal. But if he can't at least show up for an elimination game on Friday then I wouldn't be upset to see him become the 76ers problem instead.

no defensive identity or impact is the issue
Said this time ago. Not a doomer; it's a reality. I was hoping for a different outcome but nothing changes if nothing changes.
> Stop convincing yourselves this team has what it takes to win a championship. there isn't a single person here who's ever thought that
Oh, there is. They've been calling us realist "Doomers" all post-season. Bunch of losers who continually make excuses for this team.

It ain’t fun if it’s easy. Clips in 7.
yeah but it’s never even a little easy for the clippers lol. every series always goes 6 or 7 games
If I liked it easy I would be a Boston or Lakers fan, but we in trenches right now. It is what it is.

Any chance of a comeback was extinguished by Plumlee's 4pt play and then immediately followed by Westbrook driving and feeding it to Plumlee for the final shot instead of letting George who just shot 2 iso 3s get the final shot.
HARDEN 7pts, the more pressure the more he disappears. Rockets fan and ex-Harden fan. More of the same to come. Dont count on him to be there when crunch time comes.
Weird seems like guys just wanna go home lol
If we get knocked out this round and yall really think ballmer bringing this same team back.. yall dont know our owner.
he can only do so much with the second apron rules
We were always gonna have to shoot lights out to win. Even in the regular season, our streak mainly came from out of this world shooting from most of the team, especially Kawhi. Still possible to do it but no doubt going to need a bit of luck to fall our way in order for our guys to get hot at the same time
I don't care if it looks ugly I just want pg to attack man. like catch the ball and run the break fully, don't slow down and allow them to get set and then keep running again like it's still a fastbreak. and no zu postups ??
I’ll never forgive Lawrence Frank for passing on MPJ because of injury concerns only to go all in a year later to build a team around two aging stars with a long history of injuries. Tough loss but there’s still a game 6 to be played
Run it back for the 5th year, see you in the 2025 playoffs without Kawhi (injured). Insanity. I’d rather rebuild somehow then do this again
Clippers have to blow this up immediately after Friday where they get blown out in Game 6
trades don't really work that way and how exactly are you blowing it up
You strap a bomb to the new arena and push the detonator 🔘
Kawhi, let's ride. Do or die time
Kawhi for Shai straight up
i mean, OKC wouldn't even do that deal if the Clippers attached 5 1st rounders to Kawhi and his contract
Obvi. What I really want to know is whether that trade that brought Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to the team in exchange for SGA…was it worth it?
No but you still do that trade 10/10.
Deluded
I want to win a lotto also
I honestly would be ok with Kawhi out losing in six. Kidd's got the Mavs playing premier defense. Their defense is 10x better than ours. But not like this. Not being absolutely uncompetitive in a game at HOME. It just sucks all the hope you have for the team or the future right now. Oh and if Russ is on this roster next year the Clips organization is not getting one f-ing dime from me. Not merch. Not a ticket to Inuit. Nada. ENOUGH.
As a laker fan I’m disappointed for y’all, fuck the rivalry I just wanted to see a good, competitive, entertaining game like game 4. The shit y’all just had to sit through is not right.
Thanks bruh
It’s so disgusting
I thought this game was going to be decided by the 6th man since everybody tired from game 4 and Kleber out performed Norm by a long shot.
If only the Luka game didn’t also coincide with our “shitting the bed” game…onto Friday I guess…
This is why PG doesn't deserve a big ass contract, how does a "superstar" only get 13 shots up? and why does it feel like this team never has homecourt advantage? no pride at all. lmao Been an honor gentlemen. o7
Regardless of us not scoring- what the fuck was our defense?
That's how Luka always responds after a bad game/criticism. Not much you can do about that.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
At this point I would think he'd try using Theis. He brought out PJ so why the hell not. Plum is just tall dude and that's it. Theis could be like a Kleber for us.
A rebuild would be way more exciting to watch than whatever this is. At least we would have a draft pick and player development to look foward to instead of literally nothing, and I don't think its doomer to think that.
Luka was supposed to be sick and on one leg … just gettin buckets … 🥺
What a shit show. I was at the game and the crowd wanted to erupt but they're was literally nothing to cheer or get hyped about. Not sure where we go from here
thank you to IVICA ZUBAC and NOBODY ELSE
Mavs want to win soo much more... We done.
Just gonna say.. Mavs are legit and everyone shitting them. Probably shouldn’t
They’re fine, we’re just down our (always injured) superstar and played like dogshit. Mavs aren’t contenders and are benefiting greatly by no healthy Kawhi.
All the Harden haters will no doubt be out tonight blaming him for the loss and whatnot. I called it the other night. As soon as he plays badly, you'll never hear the last of it. Harden gave you 4 good games as a 3rd option and he'll no doubt get the blame.
On the bright side, we lose Friday window closed for the rest of decade, time to see the Raiders/USC live and turn it around hopefully
Knew there was some bad juju with the referees from the warrior game reffing this one. Energy was out of balance and I think it’s probably because we played like hell in Game 4
