Clippers playing well except for their shot-making. Gone cold.

Commentator just said they are 1-14 shots. I know they were 40% FG% at halftime (bad) down to 35% already halfway through Q3.

Both teams stinking it up from 3. The Clippers are 3-20 3PTA (15%). Mavs are 6-24 3PTA (25%).

Oh great drive by Luka. Through a crowd and the finish.

Mavs just went up 17pts. Luka again, 19pts. Luka again, 2 FTs, 21pt lead. Luka taking over. Luka 9 straight points. 12-0 Mavs run.

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.

Seriously, what is wrong with Paul George?

7pts again. Complete vanishing act while Mavs are making their run. Only 2-8 FGA. Not even shooting the ball. He has 9 rebounds, good. But 3 turnovers to 2 assists. Just not involved in the offense.

How can a player this big, athletic and skilled not be involved in the offense? Come on.

His bags are already packed and he's looking towards Philly.

Good game between the Mavs/Clipps. Should really be going to bed, though…  :P

I thought there was a chance that the cilppers would come out and dominate this game at home.
But when Paul George is only a really good player like every two or three games that isn't gonna happen.

Playoff PG13? LOL.

Paul George is in his 14th year and turns 34 tomorrow.  He is just old.  He is a 2.5 option right now and those guys are always inconsistent, especially when they are old.

It is amazing to see how many Clippers fans hate him. I remember a comment about someone saying they can remember far more games PG13 has lost them than PG13 has won for them. Then a large number of people agreeing.

They hate Kawhi too. Love him when he is healthy. But fed up of his injuries. With PG13, it is more his non-performances than injuries.

Harden is now the most well-liked of their star players.

Westbrook still has a lot of athleticism for a 35yr old PG.

If he had developed his skill-level better, he has enough athleticism to still be an MVP candidate in this league.

Hey, PG13 showed up after his team went down 24pts. He has doubled his point total from 7pts to 15pts. Gotta pad that stat line before people point the finger at you in the papers tomorrow.

Harden only has 7pts on 2-10 FGA.

He has 7ast but I think he had all of them by halftime. He was doing a great job orchestrating the offense and getting guys easy shots even if he wasn't scoring.

He has been quiet for a while though.

I hope the Mavs go home and put the Clippers out of their misery.   Just end it at game 6 and bring on OKC.
