PLAYOFF GAME 5: DAL (2-3) @ LAC (3-2) | 111-154 loss

I respect Kawhi and his game and attitude.  The rest of the Clippers are punks.

I agree. I just wish the Mavs had some punks like that. We need to get some tough players that don’t back down after this season.

Do you really think RC would give players who play that way minutes?

I don’t know. He gave Deshawn Stevenson, Brendan Haywood, Brian Cardinal minutes when they won the championship. 

So, you're saying there's a chance!

^^ Stevenson was the only one out of that group, that had some dog in him.

Time to get Reeves out there. MKG is worthless too, have him give some tough love too

I don't see why not.   Let's see what he can do!

Sucks but kind of expected. Without KP again is going to hurt this team.

[Hypermav]

We wanted the Mavs to get experience good and bad.  That certainly happened.

[DrMav]

Simply outclassed in talent and heart tonight. The former is fine with KP out, the latter is just sad and inexcusable after the high of last game.

The Clippers actions tonight are just pathetic as the favored team and the one the league wants to shine, and I’m infuriated that we didn’t escalate the issue and our coach is the one who was thrown out.

That should be intentional foul not clear path

So it cost the Mavs a dunk refs are so bad

[mtrot]

Really nice hustle by Reeves there.

First time I agree with you. That call was a joke

[mtrot]

Lol,  KP looks like his eyes are getting heavy and hes about to fall asleep over there.

[omahen]

This game was over the minute it was announced KP is out. Let's hope he comes back for the sixth, because it will be difficult to watch another game like this one...

[mtrot]

Sad,  The clippers scrubs come in and shoot lights out on threes.

150+ given up.

Mavs should be ashamed with their effort level tonight.

[omahen]

Ok, this is just embarassing for the reserves. They can't allow to get destroyed like that. Thats why no one will be on the team next season.

He did. I can’t forget about Tyson!

I'd be tempted to not play either Luka or KP again. We aren't winning the championship, and the health of both Luka and KP is way way more important than playing this out. They have both got a really good taste of the playoffs and both had super confidence boosting performances. Of course the Mavs almost certainly won't do it unless they both legitimately just can't play, but I'd do it to put their future health first.

[MrGoat]

The Clippers are the better team but this is the first game this series where they really showed it. George finding his groove again was disastrous for us. I'm not sure how much of a title threat the Clips really are though, they really lack killer instinct

Sorry, but this is such a losers take. Of course they have to play any minute they possibly can. With that logic, why did they even bother playing the season. They weren't winning the championship, so they should just sit out...
