nba playoffs aka the 'offs (which includes the 'ins) 2021

i think games 3 and 4 tipped this back towards kawhi being the best player in the series

bigger issue right now is luka scored 27 in the 1st half and the mavs are only up by 2

something tells me Luka's not done yet

he could take the second half off we dont know maybe hes tired or hes just proved all that he needed to

clips ball movement looking nice

man Luka really in the zone

the mavs were gonna need at least 45 from luka to win this, looks like he'll get at least 50

Clippers are strange

i stepped away from the game for like five mins and the mavs are up big now

jalen brunson was top 5 in sixth man of the year voting and has been weirdly absent in this series even tho the clippers have been playing some pretty guard heavy line ups

he's been good when he has played but carlisle has been playing him very sporadically

The most hilarious stat in the NBA to me is that Luka is now 4 for 11 in playoff games at cracking 40 points. He’s getting to 40 points in over 36 percent of his playoff games so far lol.

In baseball terms, Luka is hitting .363 in getting to 40 point games lol

kawhi's shot abandoning him in the second half

Yah can’t make jack

Still have no clue what the clippers best 5 is

Luka generating wide open looks his teammates can’t cash in on either

Still have no clue what the clippers best 5 is

kawhi, PG uhhh... reggie jackson, markieff morris... batum?

i have no idea why terrance man is in the game

kawhi pg and 3 rondos

the clippers small line up has been destroying the mavs but i refuse to believe you can win an NBA title when you're third, fourth, and fifth best players are reggie jackson, markieff morris and post-hornets nic batum

you def cannot but you might be able to beat the mavs

Ibaka being hurt is not good

you def cannot but you might be able to beat the mavs

might... probably...

Forgot about pat bev too lol

carlisle rolling w/ a line up (powell + porzingis) that i don't think has played all series

pat bev has been mothballed this series

haha the three point shooting in this series. gotta love it

"luka plays the entire clippers team to a draw singlehandedly and then two random mavs hit 2 well timed three pointers" has been the mavs path to victory in these games

Not a bad formula

I just do not understand the clippers defensive game plan in this series

batum smh

Lol pg giving it up

Also got stripped twice in a row a few possessions back

what an utterly bizarre turn of events. luka gets batum one on one and tries to make some insane pass to klieba, terrance mann gets the ball on a fast break and passes it to batum who blows a contested lay up

clips need dame rn

terrance mann with the classic pants-shitting “I’m not good enough to take this point blank layup in this situation” to set that up too

klieba

lol

welp

terrance mann with the classic pants-shitting “I’m not good enough to take this point blank layup in this situation” to set that up too

road team has won all the games

Kawhi was gun shy this game too. Clips gonna clips.

wonder what theyll do if they lose this series

lol what was this

Rondo mad as hell. 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/Oq6hb7Xl3w

cursed franchise

Apparently the mAvs only made 3 shots the last 8-9 minutes and still won.

road team has won all the games

― lag∞n,

was wondering if i had this right in my head, this has a bad unnatural feel to me when it happens

Put Dirk in Porzingis's jersey for game 6 and hope no one notices IMO.

i feel like the clippers having not even an ounce of a home court advantage is not conducive to them winning a title

Cheerleader (lifts megaphone): Whose house?!

Clippers fans: Management has entered into a contractual agreement allowing our team to occupy this house!!!

Cheerleader (cupping hand to ear): I can't hear you!!

Clippers fans: Fuck off!
