Game 27: Los Angeles Clippers (15-12) vs. Dallas Mavericks (17-9)

[SleepingHero]

Pretty good that Dinwiddie finally drew LAC's 5th so we're in the bonus. Hopefully we can get some easy points that way.

[SleepingHero]

Can Lively PLEASE fucking turn to the basket and dunk it????????????????

[KillerLeft]

Dinwiddie staring to heat up. Maybe there’s a chance.

[SleepingHero]

Last 2 minutes, Dinwiddie drew 6 FTs and a basket. Huge stuff.

[SleepingHero]

LIVELY WHAT A BLOCK!

[SleepingHero]

FINALLY Lively has a shot. LET THIS MAN SHOOT

[SleepingHero]

OKAY KLAY! WHAT BURST PAST ZUBAC!

[SleepingHero]

Zubac is eating Lively alive right now.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs can't get a single stop

[SleepingHero]

As Klay gets a steal.

[SleepingHero]

Unfortunately this is one of the worst Lively quarters in a long time.

Kidd challenging this. I don't see how the refs overturn this. Powell does kick out his leg but I don't think the refs go back on their call.

[KillerLeft]

I think the temperature of this board has always been pro Zubac (when he’s not trying to guard Luka on an island) but his offensive game has progressed a TON since those early series these teams used to play.

[Chicagojk]

Feels like one of the simalrities in a lot of our losses is we are outplayed at center. Zubac has been fantastic. Maybe the worst Gafford game as a mav. Lively had moments but is being outplayed against zubac.

[SleepingHero]

Batum is still a really good player man sheeesh

[SleepingHero]

Crazy to say that Lively has almost singlehandedly thrown this game for the Mavs.

He's done some good. But so much bad. Crazy to type out.

[Chicagojk]

Mavs fought hard. Just didn’t have enough wiggle room with the injuries. Clippers played really well. Zubac was their star of the game. Really impressive performance against our centers.

Clippers have a real good front office. They are not contenders but they made several solid moves.

Agreed. Gafford actually held his ground against Zubac better than Lively tonight, but was abysmal in literally every other possible way. Lively has been alternating between dazzling plays and terrible ones, and Zubac has pushed him around all night.

Yeah I thought Gafford was at his best against Zubac. But basically a non-factor the entire night everywhere else.

[Smitty]

Rough game for Lively. He’s had more rookie moments/games this year than he did all of last year.

Mavs weren’t expected to win this one without Luka and Kyrie but I wish someone like Grimes or Naji would have showed up more offensively.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs are very frustrated right now. Zero shots falling.

They battled. Just didn't have anyone consistently going offensively aside from Klay, who to me was our best player tonight by FAR!
