    Ty Lue starting Batum over Zubac is interesting. Might pay dividend.

    Carlie now putting in Boban in for Porzingas, talk about size mismatch.

    Imagine deciding "we need to go bigger!" and subbing out Porzingis to do so. :D

    I think this is the game right here, whoever wins this, wins the series.

    As good as it is to go up 2-0 on the road...would be devastating to then lose both home games, don't think you come back from that.

    Just hit me that Playoff Rondo and Playoff P are now on the same team...think they are cancelling out each other which is good news for the Clippers.

    It would be hilarious is this like the Rockets in 2005 where they won the first two games on the road only to lose the series. Karma, baby.

    Paul George is one of the most entertaining players to watch for me.
    His game looks incredibly smooth when he's on. I don't know what it is but it's soooo easy on the eyes.

    kawhi's programmers need to make it a little more believable and have him miss a shot once in a while.

    Yea no doubt he has a lot of flaws but something about his game makes it incredibly beautiful, especially when he's hitting hit shots.

    How did the Mavs get the 5th seed? Their roster, aside from Luka, absolutely stinks.

    definitely not a hilarious memory personally...man that was a tough way to lose. After the first 3 games Yao and mcgrady were being hyped/compared to magic and Kareem by Barkley and Magic himself. Only to ultimately get blown out by 50 in game 7.

    Luka looks done. Mavs look done.

    This game has been a serious letdown... Was hoping for shootout or tough gritty competitive game. Mavs shooting is off, doncic is off and the team is seriously lacking grit, energy and intensity.

    Clippers took the 0-2 hole and fought back. They took the 20 point lead by the Mavs and fought back. Unless mavs show some more fight, this series won't just be 2-2, it might be 2-4 as Charles Barkley predicted.
