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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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