Luka wouldn’t shoot after the first quarter. He is the primary ball handler. This is on him. And he bitches to the refs too much, but all nba players do.

Fun Guy is something else. What a performance. He's been incredible all series.

lol what? He's 22, and they tried to build a roster around him, just didn't work with KP. They have $$ coming off the books, they can try again.

[TSonn]

LOL refs won't even call fouls for Mavs when they want to foul.

[tjforce]

Before anybody else blames the refs, or the Dallas supporting cast....

The Clippers won because their star absolutely balled out while the Mavs star went quiet for the last 3 quarters until garbage time.

Switch roles, the game has a different winner.

[dunkindutchmen]

Shouldn't be any question who the best player in the world is.....

[rifleman69]

Tim Donaghy made sure one series went 7. Thanks Ken Mauer!

But thats difference mavs and literally any other playoff team. Luka cant afford to have even an average game or they lose

Imagine knowing you HAVE to get 40 10 and 12 for your team to have a chance

So you say Luka wasn't setting his pathetic teammates with wide open looks tonight?

Spot on.



Luka stunk it up tonight. And he needs to stop the Lebron whiny act. It's getting tiring.

Lmao. Wow. Wouldn't shoot because he was getting fouled every time and none of it was called.

Co-signed

Luka too passive at the end when it was close. The other guys went cold he should have tried to take over. Great performance by Kawhi in a win or go home game.

He was trying to be more of a facilitator after saying he took too many bad shots in game 5. He'd have 20 assists if his teammates would hit at an NBA average clip. But I would've liked to see him more aggressive in the 4th when they lost the lead.

Refs kept the Clips in the game early when the Mavs were up 9 and then again whenever Dallas took a lead.

29/11/7 and should have about 10 more assists. Yep.

You guys whining about the officiating have to be joking. This must be your first time watching a playoff game.

Ref baiting or flailing is less effective in the playoffs. Ticky tack calls are not nearly as common either, generally speaking. There was nothing egregious with the officiating in this game. Standard physical playoff game.

Boban call says hello.

[texmcpherson]

Wow Clippers escaped that one, needed every single ounce of energy they got from Leonard...

Luka stats tonight:

2-9 from 3point land, 11-24 overall


are those good numbers?

[imbluestreak23]

Looked like Luka played well, but a few plays where he should have not passed once getting in the lane.

The whininess does need to stop. It ain't LeBron level but it's an awful look. Take the Kawhi approach and just cook.

Looking forward to a Mavs win in G7!
