2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

If the Cavs get bounced by the Clippers in this series, at what point does Luka get called out? He's had disappointing playoff runs with Porzingis, Brunson, and now potentially with Kyrie.

Doncic has 31 points, on 25 shots. It's got to be infuriating watching him play. The team around him isn't elite but at the same time, like @hpantzo said he's been given some awesome players to play alongside and for whatever reason it hasn't work. Might be more an indictment on him than the front office.

Luka offers zero perimeter resistance defensively

Harden was sensational today. Zubac with a nice 20/14 as well. It's only 1 game but Mavs could be in some trouble unless they make major adjustments and if Kawhi comes back soon

Naw, that kind of criticism is solely reserved for Tatum when failing to get his team to advance in games 6 or 7 of the NBA/Conference Finals. Everybody else gets passes and excuses.

Wow the Mavs had a 33-13 advantage in FTA today. Kyrie and Doncic with 30+ each. Still lost

I get that Dallas looked terrible and clippers look great but people seem willing to forget what happened for the last 4 months off of one game? Dallas also has a pretty good coach. I think they will make adjustments. I do agree if Leonard comes back and plays well that could be huge but at the end of the day the clippers protected home court for 1 game.

Dallas fans would disagree with you. The "fire Jason" campaign is almost as fierce as the "fire Joe" agenda.

I picked DAL in 7, am still gonna stick by it.

I had a senior moment and was thinking Carlisle was their coach. Not good. Negative tommy point for me.

You can already tell how Milwaukee is going to struggle guarding this Indy team, especially in transition. They look so much quicker than Milwaukee and are getting good looks, just not knocking them down yet.

So far it's Lillard vs. Siakam lol. Lillard himself has as many as the Pacers right now

[jpotter33]

Pacers are playing awful. Getting decent looks, but not hitting them and also being careless with the ball.

That said, you have to be encouraged that you’re only down 9 after a 19 point explosion from Dame and you not making a three.

[Phantom255x]

Pacers looked very nervous that quarter. Hopefully they get it out of their system.

Haliburton needs to became the Haliburton from the first half of the season that was a menace. So far Lillard is delivering for his team

[jpotter33]

The young Pacers look like they’re feeling the moment.
