He just whines WAY too much. He gets all star treatment and whines when he doesn’t get more.

He had a quadruple-double yesterday: points, rebounds, assists, complaints. He does it all!

I am ok with Luka having an amazing game, but if you control the other guys, this series is over.

Those 3 guys are not stars. They have flaws. If they didn’t have flaws, they’d already be stars.. So why can’t LAC exploit those flaws? Sure, Dallas has a historically great offense. So why aren’t the Mavs a 60 win team? Why doesn’t Curry average 25 points with his 90% shooting? Because other teams have exploited those flaws.

Go ahead, let Dallas score 135 points. And then burn them for 145. That’s what these games should look like.

Rant complete.

They make a run and everybody’s excited. You know, they make a run on us, and we cave-in.””

This seems to be a pattern with Clippers teams coached by Doc. Lob City had the same problem. Kind of odd that Doc would recognize it without realizing that he’s the common factor.

Doc needs to fix some of the odd lineup choices. Pat would certainly be a welcome site….but at the end of the day, just freakin execute. 3 seconds on the clock you switch to deny on Luka. That had to have been the plan, and Reggie just did not execute. Dallas #1 option on that play was to get Luka the ball, it was gifted to him, and he made a big shot. So many lessons to learn from this game — don’t take your foot off the pedal, stop trying to throw Trez at Boban, and focus on execution.
