    Yeah, there is little chance he flames out, Doncic is taller than Harden, he can be better than Harden, he has 10 years on him.

    How do you measure greatness doe?

    At this point I could say I like Harden better and he might be half an inch better and Doncic hit those ridiculous shots Harden hasn't for a long time, I meant real buzzer beaters in OT....

    Harden developed a post defense, it's easy for Doncic to take charges as well.

    I root for them to take it to 7.

    thats exactly what it is, they afraid of losing their place from the opinions of shannon, skip, max and stephen a. when they make their top 10 nba players list. Harden would have accepted the matchup againist luka( i know that much)

    I hate myself for hating so hard on Luka. But man I cant stand it.. Only thing I can take from this is the slander PG is going to get. Hopefully Kawhi gets dragged too.

    Luka love is so annoying I wish sports never came back. @ me your displeasure.

    Dallas has so many efficient shooters. Luka has quite literally the best spacing in the league.

    Clippers has better defense. Variance on Mavs' three, when they're going in, they can win these type of games. Gives hopes for our Rockets.

    That was an amazing ending, wow!! Did not have faith in Mavs at all after being down early but they showed up in the clutch, not just Luka. Made the same mistake as House though, giving up that 3 to Morris, but Luka is a cold blooded killer.

    How long before Paul George truly gets hated by the media? His defense was zero and on offense only saw him defer. What a waste.

    can't believe he made that over kawhi leonard. oh, that was reggie jackson? that seems...unsmart.

    i hate both teams so much, this is conflicting. luka waits until the playoffs to make a game-winner.

    The one thing that is underrated with Harden is his durability. That little ankle turn luka had the other day. Harden would have played through that. The Mavs need to try and lower Luka's usage because that make you more susceptible to injuries.. Luka has already been in out of the mavs lineups the past 2 years due to injuries. Hope he stays healthy, but i remmeber derrick rose( although rose wasnt near the player luka was) was once seen as the next great thing
