This is a game Clippers will give everything they got. Mavs win would be huge

Agreed. The odds are super long, but if they can somehow win this one and come back to Dallas up 2-0 then we can start talking about this whole playoff run in a new way, imo. 

I would like to caution folks to keep their expectation levels as low as possible, however. If they lose, I know this place will be just as depressing as ever.

I think the Clips start Rondo and try to punk the Mavs early. Hard/dirty plays from the start and hope the refs let it go.

It will be interesting to see how the Mavs respond.
If they win game 2 they may win in 4 as the Clippers don’t seem to like each other much and may crumble.

Win the first quarter, win the game

First quarter will be even more important tonight. Just don't let Clippers breathe. They will be giving their max and their confidence will be dropping by a minute if their max is not enough to pull away.

We hate the Clippers, but we love the Mavs winning. Unfortunately we can’t do anything about the Clippers existing, so need the Mavs to pull it out tonight to protect the cosmic balance of love and hatred. Must win game.

Wait, what am I agreeing to pulling out?

I expect the Clips to win this one, but a Mavs victory would put so much pressure on them. Go Mavs!

Doesn’t Scott Foster hate us? Or at least Luka?

After last year, the Mavs know they have to bring it every game against the Clippers.  I think they (Mavs) relish proving themselves against this team.  It will be a close game with the Clips getting very chippy.  Looking for the Unicorn experience.

Everyone please repeat after me "after tonight both LA teams will be 0 - 2".  Please repeat this at the top of every hour until the Mavs game starts.

After Tonight both LA Teams Will Be 0 - 2.

I mean, game 1 is basically the 1st quarter of a series. Mavs won the 1st quarter of the series. Mavs won the series!

Can anyone confirm if the game tonight on NBA TV is viewable for Dallas residence?  I would prefer to not be caught off guard with a blackout...which I think normally(reg season) happens with local markets on NBA TV.   Is that the case or is it different with Playoffs?

I have heard it will be blacked out locally, but I'm no expert.

Is it time for the game yet?

Ya I think obv win would be ideal but if Mavs lose we hope it isn't a situation where Clips unlock a strategy that blows out the Mavs and puts us on our heels headed into game 3. 

If Clips win but still struggle with how to defend Luka and the Mavs offense but maybe pull out a tough victory then we could still feel good from a series-standpoint.
