WHAT A BLOCK AND FLUSH!

[The Jom]

Or maybe it was giving up Batum for such a poor return.

[SwisherPrice]

That's game...the only drama left is how long will they keep Luka in there to go for 50 or 60

[donzingis38]

luka/kyrie should still play in the 4th til the 5min mark

[The Jom]

It’s not just that Luka’s hitting shots. He’s also playing defense. And in 25 mins so far, he’s still at zero turnovers and zero missed free throws.

Underrated part of this. What made the Clippers a good team was the amount of long and switchable defenders they could put on the floor at the same time. Gave up three of them in the Harden trade.

[SleepingHero]

I am LOVING that they are challenging the double team and punishing the Clippers playing the Mavs 4 on 3

[dirkfansince1998]

Luka ruined a 100% TS game.

Crazy to think Lively is just scratching the surface.

Nice two plays by Green. He will be fine. Just needs to get into a groove. He will be an important player for us.

[Mavs2021]

Crazy to think Lively is just scratching the surface. 

His hands still worry me. For all his good work, lots of Derek Fumblyhands tonight.

Also Biyombo now averaging 10/11 through three games for Memphis. I would have liked him here, but it´s completely insane the Suns let him walk.

As of the 9:11 mark of the third quarter, Luka Doncic (37 points) and Kyrie Irving (23 points) had personally outscored the Clippers 60-59.

Honestly now that Zubac is out, I'd love to see Holmes get some burn with Kyrie to get him some reps. Same with OMAx

[The Jom]

Norman Powell -35 in 11 minutes

[BolsDamols]

Besides Kawhi, the only player on the Clips that gave me fits is Batum, who always plays well against the Mavs.
Thank God they made that trade.

What an awesome, stress free game by the way!

[The Jom]

Exum looks like a wiley vet out there.

[BolsDamols]

Looking forward to more Omax time in the 4th

Batum is the ultimate small-ball center. Deadly from deep. Defends the perimeter well. Switches on anybody. Holds his own down low. He’s been way underpaid ever since he left Portland.

Hardy what a burst of speed

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

Jesus Christ what happened? I went to dinner when Omax came in and shit the bed in the first quarter. Gotta catch up on DVR

[KillerLeft]

Hardy what a burst of speed

It’s fun when he gets downhill, isn’t it? Even without the ball, tbh.

It felt like the Clippers were our greatest rival a few years ago.  That's why it's so satisfying to see the Mavs completely dismantle them.
