Yeah bc he was a FA. I mean PG isn't looking too good right now right now, Butler is playing much better. If the Clippers were to lose this series...PG is going to get hammered and he won't ever recover (legacy wise)

Porzingis (knee) ruled out for Game 5 vs. Clippers

Complete puss. Back spasms now knee issues? I feel like his entire career is going to be like this. Doncic has to carry the team again against an angry Clips team.

Respectfully disagree. If he doesn’t think he can play then I’m fine with him sitting. Dude’s career is way more important than this game or this playoff. I want to see him have a long career with the Mavs.

Helps when Paul George isn’t impersonating a boat anchor.

And when the Mavs' only other legit star is out. Luka can't do like he did last game every time.

The Clippers were honestly one highlight buzzer beater 3 pointer from having a commanding 3-1 lead playing it out.

Paul George was playing like ass, Luka was playing God Tier....and it is still only 2-2

It has had an odd flow, but the Mavericks are not a particulary good team. They are an okay team at best.

This series is more about the only good team bothering to show up and care.......

They sure seem to be tripping and stepping on that foot of luka an awful lot.

Thanks for the breakdown even though we all knew this and yes the Mavericks are a good team when healthy

He’s an idiot that thinks his word is the gospel. The fact is...the series is and was 2-2 without playing without Porzginis and when he did play he wasnt 100%. I like the fact he didn’t mention the Mavs were one game away from a 3-1 if the refs weren’t so pitiful in that Game 1....yes, the Mavs could be 3-1. But you could say this about a ton of series. It’s an excuse.

Paul George is who he is...he shows up to the fight when they dont need him. You could tell the Clippers were going to win this from their intensity from the tip so now he shows up and everyone will rave him for it. Same Playoff P though. The Clippers are easily the more talented team but the Mavericks have been playing just as well this series...well until this game 5.

Mavericks have been down their 2nd best player for what, 3 games almost now? (1 solely because on officials), won 2 games, and now they're not a good team?

PG said something interesting postgame, he claims he just couldn't get into playoff mode these first few games, with no fans or atmosphere. He flat admitted he was affected by it. But now thinks he's flipped the switch. If so, Clippers back to being favorites IMO.

Doc Rivers went OFF postgame on the social issues. He was mad.

What's his excuse for all those other years when fans were in the stands and "Playoff P" was shitting the bed?

You'll have to ask him

He also alluded to being "in a dark place" these past few days (surely headline related, feeling powerless in a bubble to do anything)

And I agree with Shane. Puss
