Players are allowed to be less than perfect lol |

Dallas isn't good enough Defensively to stay with the Clippers. |

My bad. Wasn’t trying to explain or sound like I knew the game better. But even us less knowledgeable fans know Luka is too good to be shut down by even great defensive players. |

Well calling someone "nuts" and then proceeding to condescendingly explain the game to them sort of ends the discussion now doesn't it? As far as this game goes he hasn't been guarded much by George or Leonard for whatever reason. Maybe Doc is trying to protect them against fouls. Don't know but I wonder if he makes the switch in the 2nd half. |

That’s all I was saying and it shouldn’t really be a contentious point |

Zion would need an inhaler if he tried to have an impact on the game the way Luka does. Then he'd swallow the inhaler. |

I’ll say he is a superstar. We’ll see who is more accurate. |

I agree he is superstar player too. But George and Leonard are lockdown defenders. If Doc is going to put Morris on him the whole series then yeah he will play better. I have George or Leonard to give him problems though. |

Marcus Morris is always in the middle of bullshit. That ejection changes the game. |

Carlisle is such a good coach. It seems small with a 2 point game and no real momentum either way but that feels like a great timeout. I think he knows it could get dangerous for them at any minute too. |

Feels like LAC is about to go on a run I think they would have stretched them out but I would have liked to see them do it with Porzingus in the game. Dallas isn't a good defensive team. Hate to see games turn on things like that though. |

It’s like every year your takes get a little worse. I have a vague recollection of your basketball thoughts not being terrible like 5 years ago |

With the way they were going, plus Luka's brief injury, they would have fell behind much more than they did ealier this game. The neutrality of the courts is making the games more competitive. I miss the crowds but like the neutrality. |

Best I can tell it’s like 95/5 trolling/sincere |

Paul George has really tightened his handle up. He has the ball on a string these days. |

If this is Luka struggling then I sure hope the bulls can find someone to struggle like that |

Doncic spent too much time yelling at Curry for taking that three on a 3-1 fast break that he forgot about covering Morris on that wide open 3 point shot |

Before those two possessions the Mavs were right in it and Luka was in control. His frustration there was palpable and justified. |
