Little context, when they are not so much in front - maybe Clippers will play us better. But I agree it can not be so bad.

[@superpoochable]

We missed our shots, they hit everything and Zuboc bodied a nervous Gafford. A freak 2nd quarter. Mavs cannot play worse than this. They can only improve. I suspect a massive performance from them in the second game. If not, I will cry and go into a deep hole of depression. 😂 Let's go Mavs. Sean Paul - temperature

When Luka can't handle his emotions/having cold hand it's natural that Kyrie should take more possessions. He is mature leader and feels emotion of the whole team. JKidd plz learn use Kyrie as primary scorer too. He is incredible 50/40/90 shooter. We can't waste more games and more shots. Let's go,we believe this team.

[@dannysmuzic1807]

There are several plays where PJ and Dante drove past their man easily, but became indecisive ended up shooting awkward floaters. Take the mid-range jumper, use the glass. Kidd must challenge early touch fouls on his Biggs. It is of monumental importance. Also, get on to the refs about Clips 3 sec in the lane. Lively and Green should start imo. Luka always starts out shooting his three until he makes it, rightfully so. But you can't keep doing that, Need more off ball action for him early. Run actual plays half court Mavs D usually ramps up as the game goes on, which I have been fine with because it saves Gafford from early foul trouble. Can't do that this series, Lue exposed that Start Lively, not only because he played better than Gafford yesterday, but because he has actual post moves which could draw fouls from Zubac. Not to mention he is absolutely fearless of these playoffs, because he's been through way worse. It's my two cents. The game within..

[@ucky-uh5if]

Nuff said

[@jnmc2498]

They have to start the game with a lot more energy than this

[@wizdomtrust1596]

Too any people in the comments ready to blame coaches and players. None of the people doing that are true followers of The Mavericks. They misappropriate blame when we lose and misapropriate credit when we win and ARE ALWAYS annoying. Mavs in 6.

[@JorgeRodriguez-re4gu]

What frustrates me with Luka is he says he will do something and then doesn’t..like he says they need to keep passing the ball around and cutting..like ok…you keep the ball the majority of the time and everyone is standing around!!! You end up shooting the ball with everyone just standing around!!! It starts with you!

[@kevinhowe3280]

Luka was passing a ton in th 1st half and no one could hit a shot. Without luka they probably only score 60 points as a team this game.

[@JorgeRodriguez-re4gu]

@@kevinhowe3280 I’m saying.. it also looks like he can’t trust anyone. He will go down 80% of the time and iso

[@duskodragic649]

Starting 5 for Mavs should be best FG% guys: LIVELY: 83% (if he plays more than 30 min) GAFFORD: 75% (100% in 9 games from February) EXUM: 59% (if he plays more than 30 min) IRVING: 49% DONCIC: 48%

[@johnathanrobles9754]

Luka and Ky need to attack and put pressure on the rim. Luka especially settled a lot. It's great when the step back is falling, but with a slow start getting LA's bigs in foul trouble and taking advantage of having giys in jail to draw fouls would've helped settle the storm in the second quarter. That said if the the supporting cast is not making shots (I'm 99% sure they can't play any worse) we dont have a chance. Mavs in 7

This is the toughest series for us in this playoffs if we win this series our path gets easier. The only reason the clippers won was because of James Harden without him, Paul and Kawhi would be the same Clippers from back encounters #DallasMavericks Cover James his going to be there sharpshooter. Cover James. And the rest Cover PG and K L Aggressively and Physically if they play physical in the paint.

Mavs are fine

[@davidmitnick868]

Lol I love Kyrie

[@maferreira1984]

If we're being optimistic, this game showed the Clippers are pretty beatable (although Kawhi will definitely make them better), but not if Dallas shoots like that. They couldn't even beat the Pistons playing like they did in the 1st half. But, I guess neither team will keep shooting like they did -- Dallas abnormally badly; Clippers abnormally well (Westbrick 2/4 from 3, for Christ's sake) --, so mere return to average should do, at least with no Kawhi. If/when he returns, Dallas' role players will have to do a much better job or else they're cooked. Yes, Luka and Kyrie can get 60-80 points -- maybe 90 sometimes --, but not 120. Also, I thought the days of mediocre-to-average centers having a party against Dallas were over, but Zubac outplayed both Lively and Gafford way more consistently than he should have.

[@jessief2048]

I have a question for the entire Mavericks team starting with Kidd and the coaching staff. How were you so unprepared for this game? I said losing to Detroit would destroy your momentum going into the playoffs and it obviously did. Did you not do one thing to prepare for the playoffs? How irresponsible!

[@chrisfedder3680]

Jason Kidd is simply not a playoff HEAD coach...

Way better to lose first game, than the last, right? It's obviously that some commentator know nothing about basketball and sport in general.

Don’t you understand that somedays the whole team could have bad shot streak when opposite team having good streak? (And it doesn’t mean they are kids/or they are adults) Don’t you understand that when somebody 40%sniper has 6/6 3pm it means that in future there would be 1/6 3pm days?
