The Mavericks and Clippers will be battling for the last spot in the West Semis

A best of 3 to decide Chapter 3

Mavs haven’t closed out a series at home since Game 5 of the 2011 Western Conference Finals.

After seeing that Denver win just now, I NEED IT FRIDAY.

Can we finally kill the Clippers once and for all

Hope KP is okay

He’s played a vital role for the team with the most wins in the NBA

Injuries sadly keep following KP

These “Luka got blown by” stats in the fourth quarter are pointless when it was the Mavs gameplan to funnel Harden to his weak hand to the basket

Do I think the funnel would work better with baby Gobert as opposed to Maxi? Yeah

Every time I see this layup, I will sadly remember it came in a playoff loss

But this is just absurd

Mavs in 6

Clippers hit 18 threes as a team in both of their wins this series. James Harden hit 6/10 in Game 1, Paul George hit 7/10 in Game 4.

Mavs CERTAINLY played a part in their own demise, but sometimes guys just get really hot. Chance to kill any Clippers momentum on Wednesday.

I don’t give a f*** about the Suns

The point of this is for the Mavericks to succeed in the playoffs

We beat them in the playoffs in 2022, whoopdie do

Win a best of 3 vs the Clippers is all I care about

2011: The Mavericks lose a heartbreaking Game 4 to tie the series 2-2, thanks to a former All Star Guard turning back the clock.

2024: The Mavericks lose a heartbreaking Game 4 to tie the series 2-2, thanks to a former All Star Guard turning back the clock.

Mavericks would win…

Mavs total point differential per quarter in this series:

1st: -36
2nd: +10
3rd: +9
4th: +14

The only time the Mavs won the 1st quarter in this series was in Game 2.

As Rick Carlisle used to say, “It’s a 1st Quarter league.”

Have get off to better starts.

It’s not the most unreasonable reason, I just disagree with it

I think Dereck Lively is too good defensively to not have out there

And even though I disagree with the lineup Kidd put out there, it’s not why we lost the game

Silver lining: The Clippers are 0-2 in this series when they don’t have a lead of at least 29 points in a game.

So yes, preventing them from doing that is the key to winning Game 5.

Mavs defense to James Harden in the 4th quarter

the Mavericks lost because they went down 31 points with just 30 minutes left in the game far more than any late lineup decisions

Going to have nightmares about his 4th quarter

Hate that we have to sit on this loss for another 2 days.

Try not to fall down by 30 next time 👍🏽
