Embarrassing display by the Mavs in the first half.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

No Kawhi. Playoff P has been awful. And the Mavs are down 26. Yikes

This is the Celtics era playoff Kyrie that Dallas is getting today

Thought Mavs would put on a good fight and steal Game 1

Gonna be very interested in Pacers-Bucks tonight. If the Pacers steal Game 1 then all of a sudden the Bucks are in real trouble and face a ton of pressure. Could make them rush Giannis back too if they then go down 2-1 or something.

Commentator just said Luka & Kyrie have the last 21pts for Dallas. Nobody else involved. Nobody else helping.

Only down 19pts. They could make this interesting if they could piece together one good run.

PJ Washington is the only other Mavs player with more than one basket. He has 2.

The Mavs supporting cast have 18 of their 64 points. Luka and Kyrie have the other 46 points.

In fairness to the Clippers, they have done a good job of defending Luka one-on-one and limiting help defense. Limiting Luka's playmaking. Stopping Luka from creating shots for his teammates. Forcing Luka to beat them. Which Luka has not handled well today. Credit to LAC's defense.

I think the Pacers are going to easily win this series. They would have beaten the Bucks with Giannis. Without him they'll take this in 5 or 6 games. The Bucks lack of defense will be magnified in the playoffs

15pt game 8 minutes to go.

They could do this. Need to get it to single digits.

Mavs going small with Kleber as the sole big man. This is an interesting offensive lineup for them. Allows them to pull Zubac / Plumlee out of the paint on D and expose the Clippers interior defense. Allow Luka better to attack.

G: Kyrie
G: Tim Hardaway Jr
F: Luka
F: PJ Washington
C: Kleber

That was a brilliant reverse bounce pass by Plumlee to PG13 on the backdoor cut for the dunk.

Clippers have responded well to Dallas getting it to 15. Pushed their league back to 20+pts. 6 min to go. This one looks over.

One on one selfish offense and lack of defense is not a winning playoff formula. Dallas still sticks with it though.

Doncic and Kyrie have 55 points combined.

Rest of the team has 24.
