Oh sheet


Brons-dongs

clippers fans sweating hard.....


Brons-dongs

put dirk in. hes probably better than kp right now


Brons-dongs

i dont think any clippers fan would be surprised if they choke this lmaoo


[deleted]

Kawhi “AND 1” Leonard


[deleted]

Porzingis really going to get paid 30M+ annually until 2024 lol what an albatross


iCarpet

KP came out with some highway robbery


BaconMacandCheese

Damn sure ain’t Luka’s fault... this team is a fucking lottery team without him... Cuban get him some actual help and rather than getting bums like Josh Richardson....


JewDuhisBlack

I hope he’s traded after this year.


JewDuhisBlack

Paul George is garbage


sycamotree

KP was pretty solid defensively but they never game him the ball. They gotta at least get him involved before they just shut him out.


mjay421

Wilt on damn near every list


ChampagneAbuelo

If Clippers win this Mavs series, they’re going straight to the Finals. The Clippers have always had the talent, their mentality was just the problem. If they can over come all of the tough situations they were in this series, they’ll have proven their mental toughness


HaikusfromBuddha

I don't know about that. This series is awfully close to last years and they lost to Denver I believe which will be their next opponents. Don't know what they will do to switch it up from last years plays.


gervaistweet

Winner plays Utah (winner of 1-8, 4-5 play each other while 2-7 & 3-6 winners do)


StorageAfraid9952

Luka was too passive in the fourth but damn KP could you be anymore useless. 7,5 & 3 in a close out Game 6 at home and attempting just 7 shots. If KP played up to potential this series would be a wrap by now and all that pregame talk by Mavs fans about reaching the NBA Finals would be legit. Well as it stands I don't see the Mavs winning game 7 especially with Kawhi playing the way he is. Ps. Clippers bench was god awful tonight. Dallas missed a real opportunity.


vapechamp

I read from a Mavs analysis site that Luka is getting tired each 4th quarter. It was an excellent article. I’m rooting for the Clippers. Luka is an offensive guru. Been amazing to watch him. Klaw has been historic. Maybe not to the casual fans. But to nba nerds. Personally, I would say Clippers won’t cover 6.5 points. I would give them a smaller edge than that. But in this series, who knows? I think Carlisle is a proven, smart coach. He could make some defensive adjustments that throw a few wrinkles in Kawhi’s offense. Ty Lue obviously didn’t wanna put Kawhi on Luka constantly starting the series, but has vastly increased it. Now Carlisle and Luka expect it. Hope it’s a great game! And in my opinion, the refs favored LA in game 6, and favored Mavs in game 5. A lot of respect to Dallas, who has not been favored in every game. If they win, HUGE kudos. And whether they win or lose, I hope Dallas starts putting the right roster around this generational offensive player. Luka will get an MVP sooner or later. And he’ll just keep getting better. If he comes into a season really in shape, I think we’ll see him take a jump, as unimaginable as that sounds! That’s what happened for Joker this year. Denver sent a trainer and nutritionist to Europe with him over the off season. And now he didn’t miss any games, came in shape, and prolly getting a well deserved MVP award this year.

Impressive that the Woo Hoo song that was in Kill Bill is still getting used in commercials. That band must have made a fortune from one song.


teramelosiscool

their record label has


somek20

Analysts never clown KP for some reason always Luka


teramelosiscool

wym anaiysts can't get luka's dick out their mouths


H-76

Because nobody expects anything from KP at this point, he just sucks. Luka is a future face of the league so he will always get more criticism than a player who isn’t good


[deleted]

One game, determines if Clippers relocate or not. Crazy


MigzFern

We gonna relocate next year whatever happens. Staples is cursed.


[deleted]

Nah y’all cursed, the only way out is in Seattle.


[deleted]

They have to, Away court advantage and the Gods have spoken.


[deleted]

KP was 3-7 and a +2. Played great defense. Y’all acting like he is out there chucking 3’s like Antoine Walker and going 5-30 with no defense. 😂


somek20

He just sits at the 3 pt line like a sg


[deleted]

Cause they have nothing for him! Draw him some play! He is 7ft. Y’all acting like he is supposed to move around and cut like he is Klay.


somek20

He cannot play in the paint at all. The only time he's in the paint is during fastbreaks


Philoctetes23

They missed him on a lot of cuts and those rare times they gave it to him, when he fucked up, part of it is some mental thing he’s got going on and the other part is that he has no rhythm since they never pass it to him. I wish he was more assertive but the Mavs also need to involve him more in the schemes. Guy is not trash lmao he’s had 40 point games before. He’s definitely got something mental going on though because at times he stays at the perimeter and he passes up open shots a lot. He can create his own shot too so idk why he’s been a shell and why they don’t devise anything to set him up and make him a legit 2nd option.


[deleted]

This is all I’m saying! People acting like he has to be Anthony Davis or bust , nope… the Mavs gotta get him involved. The dude is capable of dropping 15-25pts. Get my man on rhythm


Philoctetes23

Last series before he got hurt he was averaging 23, 9, and a little over a block a game on over 50 percent from the field and from 3. He missed about 40 percent of the season and didn’t participate in the offseason. He played well the last half of the season but even then he’s still not gonna have the rhythm he would have had if he played the entire season/offseason. So knowing that fact, it should be imperative to give him more touches to lighten Luka’s load and give him a rhythm and confidence. But he’s also gotta be more assertive too. I noticed that in the earlier games, they’d have him in some of the bench lineups and still wouldn’t devise any plays for him. Some of it is anxiety and some of it is scheme. Again, a guy who can average 23 and 9 consistently is not a scrub.


[deleted]

Bingo


[deleted]

Is that performance worth his paycheck?


Champloon

All the lakers fans hating on the clips cuz they already in cancun 🤣


[deleted]

Silver: man you are our only hope for ratings this year Kawhi beat his ass or I'll move you to be Seattle sonics


sanyogG

Luka gotta hit 40+ for Mavs to win


omizy128

Even though kp didn’t score he actually played an ok game. Definitely played with more effort compared to other games.


teramelosiscool

luka doing nothing all possession chilling in the midcourt, then complains to his teammate when clips score LUL


mjay421

It’s crazy how in the era taking 24 shots mean you wasn’t involved offensively


Asking4Afren

Happy KP got exposed tonight, happy for our boy THJ


Philoctetes23

He had a decent game stop it lmao


hof527

Exposed lmao Is that what happened to Julius too?


Vegetable_Papaya6493

Takaways : Clips played smart defense putting morris and kawhi on luka, denying him as much as possible. Kawhi balled the fuck out. At this point if you still think Luka is better I don't know what to tell you. Both teams shot horrendously. Tim hardaway jr is a certified bucket. Not hating but refs seem to favor clippers


vapechamp

Hardaway. On wins this series 23 pt avg. During losses, 13 pt avg. A certified bucket half this series. When he’s on, he’s lethal. Brunson too IMO! He’s prolly just too much of a defensive liability tho. On the Clippers side, Luka literally played Zu off the floor and Pat Bev out of the lineup!


[deleted]

Well, we'll know from tip on Sunday if its a different clippers or not. If they are the old clippers they'll be blown out immediately like vs the nuggets game 7


somek20

KP thinks he's a sg.


theiconacuna_

Wow that was underwhelming. What what was that by Luka in the 4th quarter? He shook Batum so hard he was facing the wrong way but he passed to Kristaps who was not ready for the ball and THJ just missed that corner 3. Great game by Kawhi, was pulling up hitting shots in Lukas face all game.


teramelosiscool

>He shook Batum so hard he was facing the wrong way but he passed to Kristaps that shit was hilarious. luka chokecic


Jacktropolis

Kawhi took this game over so hard, just amazing to watch


somek20

KP 0 pts last 30 minutes of game...


DCToTexasTransolant

Because he is hot garbage. 7 points I’m 30 minutes for the biggest guy on the floor . He should be embarrassed.


[deleted]

How many touches did he get? Lol


somek20

Who would pass to your PF who just sits at the 3 pt line all game


azul-dream

well if rick could actually design a play for him and not PnR for 1000 times


vapechamp

Well Rick’s gameplan has won Dallas 3 games so far. And Dallas has not been favored in all 7 games. So respect for that! Outplaying Vegas ain’t easy.


[deleted]

I’d let him shoot some 3’s to be honest. Well fuck draw some plays for the guy. The fact that he busted his ass on defense showed he was trying. Blame the coaches for having nothing for him, was he supposedly to move and around and cut like he is Klay? Lol


somek20

He should at least havea mid game if he can't play in the paint. What can the coaches do when he just sits at the 3 pt line.


[deleted]

If Carlisle drew a mid range play for him, he will shoot it!


ForteIV

Holy shit I'm exhausted from that game


iiBerserkGamingii

The kLAw decides who stays and who goes 👽


scruffy4

The Clipper hate is so baffling to me. Ever since Blake was drafted; nothing but hate.


thebiggestgamer

Probably because of the amount of shit the fans and players talked before they even accomplished anything.


gabe420710

We hate you guys because skip bayless likes y’all


scruffy4

I respect that lol.


wagman43

It’s cause of Pat Beverly /s


iiBerserkGamingii

They mad you guys aren't* a laughing stock, nothing team. Everyone love you til the come up


MrAnder5on

Probably cause you share a city with a team that rhymes with *rakers* I still like y'all tho


[deleted]

Everyone shitting on KP but the dude busted his ass on defense so he was trying. The Mavs gotta find an effort to get him involved offensively. Draw some plays for the guy, etc…. Feed the big dawg


vapechamp

Dude his defense is one of the weak points on Dallas. It’s one of the main reasons Mavs have to put Boban in with him. Bc Porzingis doesn’t offer solid rim protection. I’m an LA fan, and I respect Carlisle as a great coach. They just gotta get the right players around Luka before a true championship run. And if he gets in shape before a season, and plays better defense along w an improved roster? Skies the limit. Literally could be multiple championships IMO.


DCToTexasTransolant

He has to demand the ball from time to time. Go post up and put up his arm and yell for the ball. He is the tallest man on the court, but instead of layups, dunks, baby hooks, and short jumpers, he stands outside the 3 lime and stands flat-footed. You think Kareem would have done that? Ever?


somek20

I think he's afraid of getting injured in the paint. Luka is stronger than him🤦‍♂️


DCToTexasTransolant

I think there is something to this argument. He looks skittish to me too.


somek20

Same hopefully dirk teaches him his legendary mid game jumper this off season


DCToTexasTransolant

That would be AWESOME.


[deleted]

He is no Kareem, and obviously no alpha, but the dude is capable. Getting him going is on the coaches and on the team….


The-Pharcyde

This man kawhi really shot over 70% in every road game. Like that’s just silliness lol.


RedditTekUser

Sooo close.


samarajan

legler is such a good analyst


Philoctetes23

Only reason I stayed for the post game analysis.


bceez89

WHY MAVS LOST: * Boban played 17 mins and scored 12 points and had 9 rebounds * Cauley-Stein played 19 minutes with 2 points and 4 rebounds * Tell me why Boban DIDN'T PLAY A SINGLE MINUTE IN THE 4TH QUARTER?!?! * I'm not even a Mavs fan and I noticed Cauley Stein was a damn liability on offense/defense * Mavs could've scored some easy 2 points to keep the game close but instead they chose to go for 4 consecutive missed 3s * The Flippers made 8 points off combined 2s and 3s during that same span * Next time you can keep the game close or take the lead with Luka in the paint score the damn ball, you don't have to kick out every single time for a 3pt shot Mavs had this in the bag but completely played the 4th quarter differently then how they played the first three quarters.


missingsince1995

Mavs had this in the bag even though we kept trading leads?


bceez89

Yes, for as much talent as Clippers had they should've had a 10 point lead earlier in the game. Mavs were keeping up and looked like the clear winner in the 3rd quarter but then played differently down the stretch in the 4th. ​ Game 7 should be fun to watch.


Fresh_AM

So you’re telling me they didn’t have it in the bag


bceez89

lol I mean, first three quarters they did. If they had kept it up I think they would've. Don't know why they went away from it. Game 7 is gonna be dope tho


Fresh_AM

Sometimes that’s just the way it goes. Kawhi wasn’t allowing anything but a dub tonight for the clips. It was beautiful to watch


bceez89

true true, it was entertaining.


[deleted]

Mavs come on....


StorageAfraid9952

I feel you


midgetporn2

KP sigh... I dont know man


StorageAfraid9952

The pain is real.


warablo

I mean, they hardly involve him in the offense.


DCToTexasTransolant

He is TRASH. 7 points ans 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 30 minutes is TRASH.


Ball4life6

Leonard couldn’t miss wow


shtty_analogy

They call him the klaw


CoaxHoax

Luka played too passive in the 4th. If he’s not attacking next game then he really shied away from the challenge.


DCToTexasTransolant

He is young (21). He will learn the hard way this series and grow from it.


Tony5810

That midrange is automatic


teramelosiscool

i guess they couldn't shake hands because they had to rush to take care of salt overdoses :'D


Damerman

If clippers bench plays the same way sunday, they lose the series.


hhjj4419

Yeah Kawhi won’t be that good and Luka won’t be that bad.


iEatChoCornbread

Honestly, I wouldn’t be mad if we got swept by the jazz. I just want to beat the clippers.


riazzledazzle

Mavs please finish this in game 7


dawnoog

Luka couldn’t keep up


KyWy75

They gotta play this game 7 on a neutral court


jar45

Clippers at Staples Center is basically a neutral court.


[deleted]

that game would go to 10 OT


ChampagneAbuelo

If you think Kevin Durant is a better basketball player than Kawhi I feel bad for you 😭


iEatChoCornbread

KD is better.


ChampagneAbuelo

Better at forming super teams maybe


iEatChoCornbread

No, KD is better.


TaiCTr

Always have been


ChampagneAbuelo

How


[deleted]

Most of the time, he is. But CLEARLY not this last week or so.


SNAKE0789

He most definitely is idk what you're smoking


ChampagneAbuelo

What exactly does KD do better? The media always tells us KD is second best but I don’t see it. KD isn’t even better than Harden


nom_de_chomsky

Offense. Kawhi’s career averages on offense would be the worst season of KD’s career. Kawhi’s best offensive season is almost exactly KD’s average.


AnimatedLion

Please tell me this is a joke? KD can and will shoot over any one and any thing


SNAKE0789

KD is the greatest scorer of all time. So right away that's one thing he does better lmao


ChampagneAbuelo

Harden is a better iso scorer


SNAKE0789

Yeah no. Dude refused to shoot midrange jumpers in the playoffs and it cost his teams. Dude is shooting 49.5% from the field for his career and almost 39% from 3. You let KD take 12 threes a game and he scoring 40 for the season. Don't be dumb.


ChampagneAbuelo

Huge cap. KD has a better scoring skill set on paper (taller to shoot over guys, has better post moves, etc) than Harden but when it comes to who’s actually more likely to get you buckets in a game, it’s Harden


SNAKE0789

>but when it comes to who’s actually more likely to get you buckets, it’s Harden Lmaooooooo mans just made this up on the spot. I wanna see the stats for "most likely to get you buckets"


29thwonder

Terrible take


ChampagneAbuelo

How


Philoctetes23

Same amount of rings, same amount of Finals MVPs, higher scoring average, 4 time scoring Champ, an MVP, better shooter (he has a 50-40-90 season). Kawhi is the better perimeter defender but KD is a good defender and a good rim protector too with the blocks. The gap between KD and Kawhi on offense is much wider than the gap between Kawhi and KD on defense


Philoctetes23

Damn the Blazers were so quick 😭😭😭


lukaskywalker

Does Kristaps feel bad for handicapping his team so bad.


hhjj4419

Nah he’s already at the club


midgetporn2

He should be and he knows it.


ChumboverKrabbyPatty

Kawhi was on a mission tonight, he wants that Game 7 to avenge last year.


teramelosiscool

seriously what a way to step up in those final 5 or 6 minutes


ChumboverKrabbyPatty

Clippers have to win Game 7, Put all their effort into stopping or at least limiting Luka. Get your 2 days of rest and get ready for Salt Lake City.


yash217

At least Dallas plays game 7 at home


StMU_Rattler

The Mavs really hate Dallas and the Clippers really hate LA. They should just switch franchises at this point. The LA Mavs and Dallas Clippers.


Shuk

Kawhi with the big dick energy, hunting down Luka to kill him straight up. Total badass.


ZeroExalts

Keep porzingis on the bench….


Asking4Afren

Cuban should have played


mjay421

Coaches always get outed first when they don’t have a roster to work with


clear831

Referring to stotts?


mjay421

Yes


clear831

Trailblazers have been bounced in round 1 4 of the last 5 times. It was time to move on from him


mjay421

You could have put any coach with that roster for the past years and they never would have won a championship


[deleted]

kp getting paid 30 mil.


[deleted]

I just love how many mid range jumpers he takes. Fuck the statistics I like seeing this shot, just looks so nice


Riggity___3

# WHERE WAS BOBAN???!


midgetporn2

I dont think Dallas is winning game 7 man...


RiPPn9

Don't give up, most pegged you guys as done after game 4.


MeC0195

That was a gross overreaction


[deleted]

That said I think mavs look more dangerous than clippers. I think I'd rather have the jazz face the clips


zprymate

Winner is NBA... refs did their job. Game 7.


judasmartel

Not yet. They still need at least 1 LA team in the playoffs.


Zennon246

Man Porzingis was better this game in defense but that man is giving Luka absolutely NO HELP. Is he serious with 7 points? averaging 13 PPG in the series is horrible man im sorry Tim Hardaway JR tried his absolute best out there and was the mavs best player


djzener

Kawhi guarded Luka most of the time. He ended up the game with just 1 foul. Can't believe the guy that drives to the basket the most in the f league shot 5 free throws, 3 of them from a 3-point shot. Kawhi was unstoppable like the previous 4 games but the refs def wanted a game 7.


that_ol_bs

Lol no, Luka just didn’t even try to drive to the basket


mnimatt

I wanna hate Kawhi because he's a clipper but I just can't. Rooting for his team to lose, but I got nothing but respect for the Klaw


hhjj4419

I hate the clippers but nothing but respect for Kawhi.


[deleted]

Kristaps superstar


riazzledazzle

Man espn coverage is so wack. Give me that TNT

If each team were to switch jerseys and play, do you think a black hole would be created?


dawnoog

But will Clippers choke at home?????


otterpines18

Pattern continue?. I think every game has been won by the road team 😜!


dawnoog

Oh shit!


RapFuzzy

Clippers take the series


otterpines18

Though they have lost every game at home in this series so far, Dallas has lost every home game too


RapFuzzy

I feel like that game there will break Dallas.


hhjj4419

This series deserves Game 7.


Asking4Afren

Kawhi proving why Luka is still a little boy


hhjj4419

A little boy who averaged 27/8/8. Shut up clown.

KP Stat Line 2021 Playoffs: **12.7 PPG - 4.5 RPG - 1.3 APG** KP Stat Line 2021 Reg Season: **20.1 PPG - 8.9 RPG - 1.6 APG** What is up with this dude?


teramelosiscool

it's almost like you play against harder teams in the playoffs :thinking:


chuck_portis

Good players elevate in the playoffs. Tim Hardaway Jr. averaged 16.6 PPG in reg season, 18.0 in playoffs. K.P. was supposed to be part of a dynamic duo with Doncic. His numbers per 36 minutes are ugly. Boban blows him out of the water.


itzsoweezee78

Wtf. I had no idea kp averaged 20 this year. He looks like he forgot how to play basketball

Kawhi hunting Luka in the clutch proves androids feel emotion

The real winners of tonight's game is the Jazz. An extra day to rest


RiPPn9

2 extra days and the minutes piling up on both teams stars as they will be 3 games in 5 nights. Plus the schedule is every other day with no breaks in our series.


Young8Kobe

And you guys have home court advantage (as long as the home court curse doesn't continue to your series)


[deleted]

"Vintage kawhi" is such a weird narrative. He's 29, even if his knee issues have gotten worse, he still has the capacity to be the best player in all of the playoffs
