Although, in any series in the West, you can’t really tell about a series until after halftime in Game 3. It is not uncommon for teams to split the first two or one team to win the first two, then figure it out and win the next 4 out of 5. Why the 7-game playoff system is true and fair.

Nah I watch w/o any type of bias, which allows me to dissect the game properly! Folks care more about getting their takes in, good or bad, than anything else.. Main reason why I post, when I do, is to point out shit that gets overlooked or gets over critiqued.. Which always seems to be Patt, Reggie & Serge to a lesser extent

Our starting shooters, Kawhi, PG, Mook, were 3 for 20 from deep. They hadn’t played in over a week, and maybe early start had an effect, but Mavs were better prepared, pretty sure Clips will make adjustments and come out a lot better Tues.

Blazers smoked Nuggets, they are playing their best ball of the year, so really no easy path in the west, but Utah looks vulnerable so far. Really doubt if Lue or any Clip cared where the Lakes ended up, like has been said, may be better to catch them early.

If I were the Lakers, I’d probably be more concerned than the Clippers. The Clippers got more shots up than the Mavs, took nearly the same number of FTs, rebounding battle was close, had fewer turnovers than the Mavs. A lot of decent things to take away from Game 1, the Clips just didn’t hit their shots and the Mavs hit 47% from 3 vs. their season average of 36%.

Lakers, got heavily outrebounded when that is supposed to be their strength. They both shot the ball poorly. Lakers got all the foul shots, and yet it was a near wire to wire win (I think Lakers had a small point or 2 lead in the 1st quarter). I guess they would argue their defense held the Suns to under 100 pts, so just get their offense going a little bit, and they should best that mark. But I’d be surprised of Phoenix doesn’t get their offense going as well.

Memphis is a dangerous team. West is dangerous.

Lakers look old and a step slow.

As clippers fans, sometimes it only takes a little lakers failure to give us a little spirit. Lol glad to know you got one smile in shep.
Astronomically it’s seems impossible for the lakers to get swept. Most still favoring lakers to come out the series, but the way suns looked today and the way the lakers looked today , I’m not trying to overly “hate” on the lakers, but my honest eyes tell me the lakers might already be mentally defeated , I wouldn’t be surprised if they get swept, more then likely they make it a 6-7 game series , but shep they looked bad and I’m not sure realistically they can do anything about it.
Hopefully we snap outta our shit , cannot go down 2-0 just can’t

Excellent post, Paul Durant, thank you! Half of them is not too much to ask for. Any less than that and the Clippers will lose this series, and it will be deserved.

There. I said it.
