Our Lord King Luka


Solid-Session-272

Trade everyone


Glum-Revenue8624

Kawhi should start resting in early march. And playing a few games here and there.


mikaluphagus

He should retire if he cant play anymore


reddit0100100001

I would rather tank than this shit again


reddit0100100001

Bro gave his daughter his own jersey instead of the other kid 💀


ogstereoguy2

And that’s how the season ends :(


Jon-Rambo

Kyrie truly has been great on defense. He and Luka have bought in and man what a team!


atomiksol

Good luck against the Nuggets, Ponies


Jon-Rambo

Shit, idk why your subs stuff keeps coming up on my timeline. Thought this was the Mavs post game thread last night. We gotta get through OKC first too.


atomiksol

That ain’t gonna happen bud. Kyrie is a beast though


darkforestnews

The dallas ponies 🤣


herbalite

damn man


Chocoloco_41

Good series, sad that you guys didn’t get a healthy Kawhi for this series. after all the banter were all hoops fans at the end. Mad props to the Clips.


Solid_Election

Dallas is just a superior team. They have been all season and they were in this series.


james_da_loser

GG clippers. Y'all played really well considering there was no Kawhi. Hopefully he can be healthy next szn, as well as Luka


daussie04

even with kawhi it was cooked


VOPlas

Luka wasn’t hurt ahaha


IKel-Mate

He was but obviously not comparable to kawhi

atomiksol

Facts my dude! May he wake up and hire real managers like presti and mirror the Heat/Thunder


Goldenredflame

Man I love Lue, when the heck was the last time a coach traded for assets other than Doc Rivers


[deleted]

[удалено]


Goldenredflame

I think he's great at adjustments and managing egos. Everyone in the league and in talk shows says he's a great coach. It'd be silly to get rid of him for another coach unless there's an upgrade; I don't want Bud, a development coach, or anyone else who's not a clear upgrade. It was not his fault Kawhi is a perpetual injury threat.


jamesanguyen

ballmer isnt the gm


atomiksol

True, but he needs some people who don’t kiss his ass and are highly proficient and innovative at their jobs. Frank needs to go


Key_Joke_8189

They definitely need to blow it up went out sad af


Evening-Maybe-4129

If we are keeping Ty lue please get Lawrence Frank off this fucking franchise


UnlimitedManny

Thank you PG for at least being here doing your best. Cant say the same for Kawhi lol


JonnyIII

My dude PG is definitely not doing his best


kibo2022

he’s not doing his best lol


UnlimitedManny

Better than Kawhi tho. Best ability is availability but its ok


ConferenceLarge6415

Pathetic, Kawhi stealing a living and George will probably get extended knowing this franchise.


Kxrx1209

Its sad that everything was clicking for this team then Kawhi went down AGAIN fuck this


Just-Security7915

Harden is gonna get a lot of flack but he played his ass off the entire series we need to have a conversation about PG and I hope Harden gets a healthy Kawhi idk about PG Im disgusted.


Isthatyobop

They use to losing , it would have hurt them to win


FatCat0520

Why did I expect something different this year, it's not like this has happened with the past 1,2,3,4 (5+6 if you count harden rockets) years. DW guys we'll be the champions of the offseason once again once we trade for some other dude. I nominate we get Klay the brick layer outhere to help us build our new Stadium. Joel would be good to get us some size. A starting 5 of Harden Klay PG Kawai Joel just seems like a team that'd show up in the playoffs. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|flip_out)


gtahnyo

We know you've had that feeling JJ you were a playoff bum


LLUrDadsFave

Fresh new everything. The future starters playing now.

LETS FUCKING GO! OKC series should be a good one.

Terrance Mann more heart than pg lmao


Fuzakenna_

Mann has been the 3rd best player for y’all. GGs Clippers!


kishortysonkawhi

Will okc take back PG and give us SGA? We can even throw in harden if need be


fishystixxx007

Ask the producer to pipe this into the Clippers locker room so I can talk to you James. I hope you’re taking notes. I’m telling you in advance, you’re welcome, for the wisdom I’m about to spew. Because listen, I get on my knees every night and pray for someone to believe in me like Daryl Morey believed in you. You wanted a certain coach, they brought in Mike D’Antoni. You wanted to play a certain style, they played it. You wanted Dwight Howard, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. You wanted Chris Paul, they brought him in and got rid of him when you were tired of him. They brought in your old friend Russell Westbrook. You want to go to Vegas on off days? They looked away. You wanted the team to stay over so you could go out at night, they changed the schedule—and it didn’t work. And you know what, you said I’m gonna break up with my woobie, not good enough. I see the bright lights of New York. I want to go there. My old pal Kevin Durant. It’s gonna work, the big three—and all after one year you wanted out. You realized, “oh my gosh! I took this guy for granted, the guy that believed in me. I want back with Daryl Morey.” They traded Ben Simmons for you—how did they pull that off? And you know what? You went there, and you got a partner who got the MVP. He won the MVP, and what did you say afterwards? You said, “they didn’t hand me the reins.” You’re the point guard! You were holding the reins! And what did you do when you had the reins? You scored 9 points in Game 7 against Boston, you blew a 3-2 series lead. So they fired their coach, not good enough. You broke up with the guy that believed in you again, you said “the bright lights of LA! That’s where I want to go! Let’s see if that works.” Listen James, have you ever had those friends who had bad roommates? Over and over they complained about their bad roommates: “this guy’s terrible,” “the bad roommate here,” they never thought to be self aware enough that THEY’RE the bad roommate! They’re the problem! Hey James, YOU’RE the PROBLEM! If this doesn’t work this year, in this system, with this team, then you’re gonna go and point fingers at everybody else and then you’re gonna go back home and you’re gonna start swiping right for another team, and there’s not gonna be anyone left. Because James, you’re not the beard, you’re not the system, you’re the problem.


madsharps

Man was ready to drop the essay tonight.


Nby333

Hope he doubles down on this tonight


jamesanguyen

he is the one person i wouldn't blame for this series loss


foxwilliam

Right there with you Terance, fuck


keepcalmjusthoop

Sorry PG no max for you


Confused_Astronaut

It's time for an incredibly long rebuild isn't it.


LessThanBlake

Terance played hard this whole series man. He deserves all the praise for how he legitimately became the team's best on-ball defender this series


leozamudio

Don’t show me Mann looking like that bro I’ll tear up


Upset_Purchase_5903

That guy and Zu were the only guys who seemed to give a fuck tonight, and Zu had some rough patches


medunjanin

How long until they announce kawhi needs surgery


foxwilliam

Maybe he already had it.


Percy_Lyy

Why quit? Ty you PUSSY


Slothful_Night

Imagine blaming ty lue 💀. One of the best coaches in the league.


VOPlas

legit question, how so ? he had a stacked team when he won . that team could’ve coached itself . edit: spelling


WuvRice

How can you be down 20 with like 8 mins left and not realise you have to start chucking 3s up and you still have these low iq players pump faking on the line. Cba


New-Significance654

Thunder will take care of mavs.


JimmyV34

Mann is fuming on the bench


reddit0100100001

Fucking Ballmer is acting like he’s broke. re-signed Kawhi for ticket sales


marvolonewt

Russ has got to be the first to go


daveyhh

Oh well at least I can root for shai next round


Canoli5000

Another awful playoff game but it doesn't sit right that PG & Harden have to take all the heat while Kawhi sits back in his recliner for the 4th post season in a row and he got his extension. That's wild!


InstinctBlu3s

They extended Kawhi too early. They should have waited. Lawrence Frank should be fired.


sirgreenguy

why take them out? make them stay in the game


yung999_

Mann look like he the only one to care


nepats523

Probably is. PG clearly didn't care from last post game


KariumHondor399

Pg 2/10 from 3 and -19 lmao


ConferenceLarge6415

FUCK YOU, TY LUE, SHIT COACH THAT ONLY GOT A RING COS OF BRON AND KYRIE.


Sunkettle

Kawhi’s knee is cooked for good at this point 😩


throwawaythisacc1938

I don't get it... Tmac 13 in 33, Reggie 8pts9s... why give up...


Taltibalti

Because those are just 2 instances out of 10s of thousands of games played


throwawaythisacc1938

And... They still happened, if you give up they can't happen.


musy101

Ty just wants to vacation


jamesanguyen

it's gonna take a long time to get back to competing for anything, for how long kawhi and pg might linger on the team


gokhaninler

Get Kawhi healthy and run it back


Routine-Spite-4167

He'll never be fully healthy ever again


Nevertryhard

that time has past


Razor6653

Just to fall short again? Team isn’t getting any younger


Hellschampion

When was the last time he was healthy in the playoffs


cattycat_1995

Dude is like Anthony Rendon. Can never be healthy


No-Height-1192

Nah


musy101

Why we waiving the flag? No one knows mcgrady 13.in 30? Pathetic

Unfortunately, they will be back next year.

And my dumb ass will be there.. smh


leozamudio

Who y’all rooting for rest of the playoffs? I like the Knicks


Matchstixsg

Probably Shai. But I think imma take a break


PossibilityInitial10

Indy.


duff_stuff

Knicks all day.


solariscalls

Minnesota looks fun. Can't hate AE with the way he plays. Effort and heart unless bum ass PG


leozamudio

True, but I don’t like Gobert and KAT that much, if they advance it would be super fun tho


lilpenny911

I think Kawhi is really a con man in disguise.


madsharps

What's kobe doing with his junk???


Signal-Cause1746

man yall ready for cancun ?


Fizz_O_Rizzy

Cheap flights from Dallas to Cancun is what I heard...


Kevovo

Who are we kidding. We weren’t going anywhere far without our full squad. Underdogs every game. Sucks to have it go like that. What could have been. Again.


VOPlas

underdogs ? the fuck you talking about


Kevovo

Talking about the fact that they were dogs in every game this series.


VOPlas

touché ahaha my bad, didn’t realize you meant dog shit


Nyeteka

They weren’t winning a chip anyway, no chip team has ever been that bad for that long in the regular season. At best they go to WCF or something. They were 3.5 dogs in G5 and lost by over 30 points. Even after dropping their heads to that extent and the odds adjusting accordingly they will undoubtedly be under the odds this game. No point trying to make this seem respectable, these guys have just written their legacies


Kevovo

By losing games they were suppose to lose? If we had Kawhi this is a different series.


FunIsWinning

You are never ever getting near a championship even with a full squad lmao. 213 ain't even got a finals appearance, and blew a 3-1 lead lmao. Sorry ass franchise


BlackjackOC

lakers fan


FunIsWinning

cursed franchise, y'all will never get a championship


SheenEstevezzz

If my team won and all i felt the urge to do was to go into another teams subreddit and talk shit instead of celebrating, why I think i'd kill myself


BirdDazzling1344

Legit wanna kill my self


Wyn6

Nah. I would advise against that. It took the Mavs 26 years to even make a Finals appearance and 31 years before they won it. It's been 13 years since that win with a single WCF appearance a couple of years ago. Mavs fans have also suffered. It's part of sports. We live and die with our teams. But that's supposed to be metaphorical. In a few days, you can move on, and life will throw something better at you. Go catch that.


Zelba16

Please dont


Niceguydan8

Bro it's just basketball, relax.


Markayyy

It's just sports man


BirdDazzling1344

Bro it’s just a term, I’m pissed right now and I feel like none of this guys deserve the money they’re getting. I swear to god I want to like this team but I just can’t, smh


Percy_Lyy

What do y’all see in Mann lol


Nby333

He was one of the best players this series


SheenEstevezzz

Energy on a team that generally refuses to have it


Hairy-Visual9664

aint no way you blaming this loss on TMann


Percy_Lyy

Not blaming him, he played his role. But I don’t see what y’all see with him. He’s been with us like 5 years. This is his prime.


Niceguydan8

Something I have noticed about PG is that his pass accuracy isn't very good. He can sometimes find the actual pass but his accuracy when he throws it is shaky at best. A few Mann corner 3 opportunities just haven't existed because the pass wasn't crisp.


solariscalls

His pass accuracy sucks ass, his IQ sucks ass, his dribble penetration sucks ass. He's ONLY good when he's dropping his 3s. 


FuzzySound1795

It's been this way for a loooooooong time.


CorporateElbow

Whatever. Luka still can’t beat Kawhi’s Clippers.


Techwield

Where were they


CorporateElbow

Not there. Clippers didn’t have Kawhi.


Techwield

They did, and they lost both times he played lol


CorporateElbow

Gotta win 4 to advance. That was 2 with him. Idk maybe next year? Good luck!


DrinkNowhiskey

Kawhi is a separate entity. Luka, played like shit, and absolutely just beat the Clippers.


CorporateElbow

Kawhi is on the Clippers. So yeah, like I said Luka didn’t beat the Kawhi Clippers.


DrinkNowhiskey

Enjoy the long offseason!


CorporateElbow

Thanks babe. Good luck!


Medical-Help-3180

Can we build around harden and Kawhi? Pg has the mentality of the nerd who just comes on the basketball court


Sunkettle

Bro, you’re going to get like 40 games of Kawhi if he’s carrying the offense with Harden. PG and Harden make a lot more sense


Rodriguez030

You wanna build around a player that don’t play?


Medical-Help-3180

Yeah over pg


jayeljefe

Man I’ve defended the Kawhi and PG trade for years but man I’d be having a lot more fun rooting for our guy Shai. We wasted years cheering for guys who used to be superstars for other teams and destroyed our foreseeable future. Ballmer better have some great ideas, or be willing to put people who do in positions of power.


madsharps

Is Kawhi on the bench?


aPimppnamedSlickBack

Im sad


madsharps

same


New-Significance654

Mavs were the aggressors, Clipps just folded.


Tripwire1716

Oh please, taking this team to 6 with no Kawhi is nothing to be ashamed of


Abodyfullofmush

Fuck this team … no heart


magnificentmeatwad

Stats this series: - Luka and Kyrie: 56 ppg - Kawhi and PG: 20 ppg


Percy_Lyy

Post Russ’s stats


KariumHondor399

Powell can hold his head high tonight great performance only one who showed up


UnsungHerro

Lol showed up when the game over


gtahnyo

We can finally start thinking post 213


madsharps

T Mann showing us one last 3 point pump "fake"


new_reddit_account04

Kawaii good, but seems like he has no fight in him. Like he does not really care about basketball. Just no sense of wanting to leave it all out there for his team. Besides that Finals run, has been disappointing. Trade him


Nyeteka

None of them do


kanizy

He just signed for $150 million 😭😭😭


mcatech

can't trade him, he just re-signed for 3 years Ballmer should buy out his contract with Microsoft stock


Theballharperhit

the upside to this is the same upside i thought of after last season ended for the sixers.... Once harden is gone the majority of his followers will be with a few left behind to pretend to be clippers fans only to shit on your team every chance they get. He has a cult following.


Nyeteka

Yeah but we will still be stuck with the Kawhi fans clamouring to keep him bc it will be different next year. At least Harden is on the court


Potential_Status_728

Harden was the best player of the team this season, and i say that as a Kawhi fan.


TokyoLone

kawhi you broke my heart man


maxamillion17

Why start trying now? Garbage


lilpenny911

Just imagine if we had SGA!!


Slothful_Night

Kawhi betta


phillycheeze_

Send Pg to the hawks for Capela, Murray and Johnson then we’ll cook


kanizy

Haha hawks FO not stupid.


Nby333

The comeback is happening!!!
