I guess I'll listen to ESPN while I work. Haven't watched one of these sports talk shows in years.
 
Exactly.

Even if Kawhi or even PG end up having a defensive masterclass against Luka, it’s going to take a huge toll on their offensive production.

Thus the Clippers are F’d either way. Because no one else is scoring points on the Clippers.
But you contain luka you win ....luka creates so much offense for Dallas ....
 
You really can't "contain" Luka because he has the scoring and passing prowess to dissect any defense. Your only hope is he and/or his teammates have an off-night shooting the ball.

it’ll be interesting to see if they let him get 50 if it means no open shots for his teammates.

Yep. See Clippers v. Mavs bubble playoffs.

(That said, the Clippers can make it somewhat harder for Luka to get his than has been the case the 1st to games of this series).
 
Health for the Mavs is obviously a big factor this year to last, but it's also kind of feels like the Clips are letting the Mavs dictate the style of play and impose their style more.

These two games have looked and flowed exactly how the Mavs would ideally want them to.
 
Wiggins + Wiseman + Picks for Kawhi works financially unless I’m missing something.

I thought so too but I guess Steph, Kawhi, Klay and Dray would be hard capped? I read they would have to trade Dray too but I’m not 100% sure about that.

PG might be the better trade cause his salary would be cheaper.

That’s the problem. The Clippers never really developed a style of play besides Kawhi and PG getting theirs and everyone else shooting and (previously) making a lot of 3s. They’re still doing the same thing; they Mavs are just doing it better.
 
What does "Let Luka get 50!" look like, though?

He's already taking 27 or 28 shots a night, getting 35 points shooting 50+/40+ splits.

Their best bet might be hack-a-Luka and make him win games at the free throw line because he's shooting everything else into an ocean right now.
 
They can’t blow it up, they won’t have a first round pick until 2030 :lol:

The Clippers can't even play that "let Luka get 50" strategy. They're not a good defense team. Their roster has been overated, especially on defense.
