"New look" Clippers lost both games and didn't score 100 points yet, mainly as a result of poor shooting overall. They must think this is their chance to change that.
It will be interesting to see how Mavs will hide Luka and Kyrie in this one. All of Clippers starters are considerably bigger and stronger than Kyrie. If Mavs hyde Kyrie on Westbrook, Luka will be left guarding one of Harden, George or Leonard. I hope Mavs are able to bounce back from the bad game against Toronto.

Statement from NBA spokesperson: “The Mavericks will play tonight’s game on their core court due to a manufacturing issue with the team’s In-Season Tournament court.”

Lol. Just as well I guess. That court in Denver was an eyesore. Although if it helps our player camouflage on the court maybe we should want it after all

Zubac has had games against us where he doesn’t miss and grabs a ton of rebounds. Recently though Luka has played him off the floor. I wonder what happens if Clippers go small. Do we keep Liveley out there or does he lose time as well? Similar to what happened in the nets game.

Terrance Mann said it best:
Their game plan is to let Luka get his, and he loves to play against the Clippers. The real question is can this game plan work with Kyrie on the court?

Dereck Lively II (illness) will play against the Clippers after missing the team’s loss against the Raptors. Maxi Kleber (toe) has been ruled out.
Clippers coach Tyron Lue mentioned the rotation will be different tonight against the Mavericks than it has been in the first few games since adding James Harden.

I'd keep Lively in. You can also punish a team for trying to go small on you by attacking them with the bigs. You want to be the team that's controlling the tone of the game.

You only pull out your bigs against a small lineup if your bigs aren’t mobile enough to defend little guys. The weakness of this Mavs team is how light their bigs are. The strength is how mobile they are. That’s by design. Going little against Dallas is a last resort. You only do it because Luka has forced you to by pulling your immobile big out to the 3-point line and torching him.

Hunting Kyrie on the switch early

At this pace we´ll also hold the Clippers to 90ish points comfortably.... at HT.

Powell and Kleber suck. Mavs have no rim protection...Wait a minute. Who is on the floor right now?
RE: Game 9: Los Angeles Clippers (3-4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (6-2) | 7:30pm CST - SleepingHero - 11-10-2023
Such a slow start but the Mavs to have seem to find their fire now
Luka's 3s have looked so pure this year

lively's still a rookie though while powell/kleber are vets who still make "rookie mistakes."

Harden really gets every single whistle on earth
Omax sighting!!!
RE: Game 9: Los Angeles Clippers (3-4) vs. Dallas Mavericks (6-2) | 7:30pm CST - dirkfansince1998 - 11-10-2023
Grant's on ball defense is super disappointing. I know that it is a difficult matchup but even Luka is doing a better job right now.
As I post it. Harden walks right by Luka...

Powell with 2 bone headed mistakes

“O-Max will not contribute this year.”
SMH, it gets better and better.

OMax walked right into the trap...
