[dirkfansince1998]

Was that the best quarter and a half of the season?

Without a doubt. +29. Only allowed 18 points.

[Mavs2021]

Exum +25 in seven minutes. Haha.

i pray the mavs do not get comfortable with this lead.

the ptsd it'll bring us....

[StrandedOnBeauboisHill]

The Exum/Green situation is going to be a very interesting one to watch play out.

[SleepingHero]

Mavs finished pretty strong.

Since as long as I've been alive they've always given up 2nd half leads, gotta come out strong here and make sure they can relax in the 4th

[SwisherPrice]

I expect the Clippers to look like this a lot this season. Too old, not motivated, they're all just happy to be getting paid a lot to finish their careers in LA. I don't think any of them really care about winning a championship at this point in their careers

Clippers saw the 2019 Rockets and were like:

27 from Luka, 17 alone in the 2nd. 20 from Kyrie.


Amazing

kyrie must've taken it personal when clips started hunting him down in the first

[dirkfansince1998]

Kyrie is winning the matchup of desperation trade targets. Harded had a solid first half but isn't as involved on offense. Westbrook is completly useless in the half court.

[dirkfansince1998]

The Exum/Green situation is going to be a very interesting one to watch play out.

Mavs have minutes for both of them. As good as THJ is shooting right now the Mavs need more defense next to Luka and Kyrie. If the +/- trend of those lineups is still the same in a month the Mavs best option is to cash in on THJs hot start.

   Nico should be winking at Paul George though.  When the clips decide to rebuild they can have a few of our firsts for George.  He would be perfect here

Green's trump card against Exum is that he is young enough to develop further.
But that may not be entirely true.
Exum might not be as young, but seems like a late bloomer who's just starting to make his game better. The expectations derailed his game as much as his injuries.

On a team like the Mavs, he can blossom (despite having dominant superstar ballhandlers).

On DJJ..
What can I say? I know we love DFS around here, DFS might have a slight edge on D, but DJJ runs away with the O.

[SleepingHero]

Lively with some rookie growing pains there.

Kyrie still on fire

[dirkfansince1998]

Clippers going small. Good test for Lively.

Was amazed adding Westbrook didn’t kill this Clippers team. Looks like getting Harden finally did. They need to blow it up.
