You would wonder if KP could come back midway in that series if needed.

That in-season trade by the Mav’s was brilliant. Gafford and Washington make them so much more athletic.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

With as bad as PG13 has looked, again, in the playoffs for the Clippers. I don't know that he would be that much of an improvement for the 76ers if they managed to nab him in the offseason.

They might be better spending their money on a couple quality role players instead.

Oooh, that was a dodgy fall. Almost the splits.

Lively. Yikes.

I do not like this commentary team. Mike Breen, Doris Burke, JJ Redick. They make the game less enjoyable. A net negative.

Interesting to see the first three players off the bench for Dallas being Lively, Kleber and Josh Green.

This is a very big Mavs team. Kyrie Irving is the only small guard in their top 8. Josh Green their only other guard. Everyone else is either a forward or a center.

G: Kyrie
G: Luka, Josh Green
F: Derrick Jones Jr
F: PJ Washington, Kleber
C: Gafford, Lively

Shrinking the court on team defense with all that length. Avoiding mismatches with smaller defenders. Good job limiting defensive vulnerabilities.

They still have Exum as well as a big defensive guard.

She’s insufferable. I’m going to be watching this game on mute pretty soon.

Kyrie is playing like a real leader in this series.

He hasn't scored tonight but he has presence. He is impacting the game. Defense. Pushing the ball. Extra passes. Talking to his teammates.

Bad body language Harden. Falls over on a failed layup attempt. Dallas leak out. Layup the other way. Harden doesn't get up off the ground.

Not only does he not get up to get back on defense. He does not get up to go back to the bench for the timeout. Zubac has to run back from halfcourt to pick Harden up off the ground to get him to go to the bench for the timeout.

Harden giving up already. Not good.

PG13 & Zubac = 7-13 FGA 19pts

Rest of team = 3-15 FGA 13pts

Clippers shooting only 35% FG% and 3-10 on threes. They just cannot make enough shots. DAL defense has been really good as well. They have them taking hard shots.
