You would think that after this many years in the league, Westbrook would have finally figured out that "playoff intensity" doesn't mean increasing your scowl and amping up the histrionics and fake tough guy bullshit. 

In a way it makes me mad because I think he could have been a great player, but he's just too stupid and mentally weak to get there.

Hey, at least he'll fight fans if they call him Westbrick!

Kawhi is ruled out for today. Just saw the line move 2 points. Dallas is now favored by 7.5.
Honestly, line should have moved the other way. Kawhi was a liability on both ends of the floor

I wonder what excuse Kidd will pull out for this shitshow. Leaving Green in this long may let the lead get to 40 by half.

I was extremely close to pulling the trigger on tix this morning.   Thank goodness I didn't.    Really no excuse for coming out this flat with an opportunity to put a stranglehold on this series.  Not good.

good news is that its just the 2nd quarter...

1-2 series.  at least we can try to tie it next game and retain home court....

of course we beat this bunch of meh by going into the lane and gettin easy 2pts.  so what does Kidd do.  start jacking 3's like game one.    at some point you need to coach.

Jason Kidd's called 2 timeouts. Possession after the first time out results in a turnover. Possession after the second timeout results in a shot clock violation. How good would we be if we had a coach who did his job?

we are up 2-1. next game (if we lose this one), will be to take the series lead, not tie it.

ha. totally blanked on the last win.  was at a concert and didn't watch it.  that's what I get for drinking early.

Not sure how good you can feel after being down 17 at half at home, but this feels like a weird one.

Because they were down 31 with 5:43 left in the 2nd?  That’s how I feel better. I wouldn’t call it good. Hopefully their two big dogs cool off at half, and Luka pulls his head out of his ass. 

I agree with you. I think Luka waking up is much more likely than George going for 50 and Clippers hitting 30 threes.

Sorry but Luka needs to come out. He's tentative on defense.

Need to stay aggressive. Clippers already with 3 fouls this Q and the refs have shown no desire to stop calling it tight.

Agreed. I was surprised to see him start fourth given he’d already gone 32 mins.

Sit Luka. Bring him back with 5 left. He's too tired and banged up to do anything.

Love this team but godddamn how do they miss all these layups?

Kidd lost this game early in the 4th leaving Luka in. He wasn't contributing on offense and just hung around on defense. We had to compensate for him and gave up 8 easy points. He also picked up his fifth foul so he can't play defense now.

Maybe don't come out and go down 23 points in the first quarter, such a shitty start.

Harden whipped our ass down the stretch. 
Easier to do when your guy's too scared to defend you for fear of fouling out. I'm so annoyed with Jason Kidd.

Is there anyone who actually thinks Jason Kidd is a great coach? Why is he the coach of this team?

We owned the paint last game. Jason Kidd says let's come out and shoot threes.

We come back from 31 down by playing defense and scoring in transition. Jason Kidd says let's let the Clips play offense 5 on 4.

We've got a guy getting blown by on defense every time. Jason Kidd says let's sit our two best rim defenders.

something is so off about Luka... need him to come alive. Gaff absolutely has the basketball yips out there right now. Hoped Game 3 would break him out

that extremely late double team attempted trap of Harden at mid court early in the 4th that lead to a Plumee layup looked like 5th grade coaching and execution.

It's a combination of Terence Mann guarding him and Luka exerting himself physically on defense. Mann's basically hand checking Luka with impunity and on the other end Luka is getting really tired. I think it's alright, we need to keep playing how we are.

Yeah probably, he's got that same limp from the end of the season too with the knee. If we get a single good shooting game it won't be close. Clips look a lot better without Kawhi, but that also aided by them shooting 50% and 63% from deep in the two games without him on high volume lol. Some of those first half shots were just unreal
