GAME 57: LAC (27-30) vs. DAL (33-23) | 97-99 loss

[Chicagojk]

There are times Kleber is really good, and there are times when he looks overmatched out there.   This postseason is going to be important for him.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Green needs to work on his shot this summer. Teams are just going to play off him until he improves his shooting.

[MrGoat]

Once the offense gets going the defense collapses

[KillerLeft]

Disappointing and not very intelligent foul by Brunson there.

---

Bad gamble by Luka on defense.

[dirkfansince1998]

Clippers still aren´t a good matchup for Brunson. He made his 3s but he couldn´t get in the paint and struggled on defense.

[MaxiThreeba]

Maxi and Dodo absolute trash tonight.

[KillerLeft]

Clippers still aren´t a good matchup for Brunson. He made his 3s but he couldn´t get in the paint and struggled on defense.

Agreed. I thought his game was much improved tonight, but still not good enough.

Tough for me to see past Luka’s first 3 quarters tonight though.

[ThisIStheYear]

Some days you wake up and nothing goes right at the office and maybe you should have stayed in bed.  That’s DFS tonight. He’s just gotten annihilated all night.

[KillerLeft]

It’s a miracle that the Mavericks are still in this game.

[ThisIStheYear]

It’s a miracle that the Mavericks are still in this game.

It’s a Luka Magic miracle. It’s ridiculous how little help he’s getting.  Unacceptable really.

[Kammrath]

Luka has 96 points in two games.....

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Luka with 31 fga's and 43 pts. Outside Brunson and Bullock, he got no help tonight.

[KillerLeft]

It’s a Luka Magic miracle. It’s ridiculous how little help he’s getting.  Unacceptable really.

On one hand, I agree 100%. On the other, I think about half of this game might be the worst I have ever seen him play, basketball IQ wise.

He has been exceptional down the stretch though.

[dirkfansince1998]

That was terrible. Jackson quicker with ball than Brunson without it.

[KillerLeft]

That was terrible. Jackson quicker with ball than Brunson without it.

Yep.

[ItsGoTime]

That was terrible. Jackson quicker with ball than Brunson without it.

Twenty Four MILLION dollars.

[KillerLeft]

Twenty Four MILLION dollars.

Temporarily, I think.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Luka is going to get wore out before the playoffs even start. He has to do too much.

[DrMav]

Ugh, should have taken that 2nd timeout to try for a better inbound

[KillerLeft]

Could’ve been worse. 

Probably not a great sign that the Clippers and Mavericks are fairly evenly matched when the Clippers’ two stars are both not playing.

But, this is square one.
