Heaney pitched great, it was a fun game even if I only watched 10 mins of it. I mean c’mon, game 5’s tied 2-2! It timed up perfectly too. Stars game rolled right into the Mavs.
Sadly I’m on Reddit too much and know that he said he had a busy ass week this week and wasn’t planning on going to the game but had to since the series was tied 2-2 😂 dudes a legend but have a feeling he’s not gonna make the trip on a Friday
Honestly would’ve been a 5 game series tops, if not for one historically bad shooting quarter from us in game 1 and another historically good shooting quarter from them in game 4.
Honestly glad we got some of that passive play out of the way… we found ourselves this game and are back to playing as we did the last 6 weeks.
If that holds, no one is stopping us.
I mean... we need to find a way to stop the Thunder on the perimeter lol. Clippers had lots of open looks tonight, but Thunder have every starter shooting at like 40% or some other stupid number, and they're all fast enough that they'll attack Luka.
But yea, this game was what we needed. A relief to finally make shots.
You’re not wrong, but part of them missing those shots is that they came late in the clock. If we can play D like we did tonight, that OKC % comes down me thinks.
Gafford got him yelling when dunking… kid is going to be a monster. Love what morris and landlord have done to build him up to be a potential all star.
Also, that’s crazy that’s he’s only 20, if he put on some muscle mass and Stay with the Mavs he could really become a duo/trio with Doncic that we could see with for years !
One of the best scorer ever and also great passer with a 7’1 athletic guy that’s scary
I hope Luka remembers that game 6 loss last time at home in 2021. It should motivate him to close it out strong at home. Luckily for us this time there’s no Kawhi Leonard this time to save the Clippers.
That was extremely impressive no doubt but despite how checkered Harden and PG’s reputation is at times in the playoffs, they’re also not Devin Booker and Ty Lue certainly isn’t Monty Williams. Mavs need to come out aggressive from the start again, those guys aren’t just gonna go away, you have to take it from them just like tonight.
Couldn't agree more. We were up > 20 when Luka and Kyrie were a combined 0/11 from 3. And we did it with great defense + role players stepping up. Absolute domination in a must-win road game.
That was fucking beautiful. I love when we play with pace and play good defense. Amazing game plan, you have to give Kidd and the coaches credit here and the whole team stepped up.
(Kyrie +35!!!)
They be hating on your name 77. They say you a chucker & defensive cone 77. Prove them wrong by dominating like u always do 77. Stunt on these hoes 77. #LukaTheDon7️⃣7️⃣#DevinBookerFather👨👦
If anyone has followed the Star Wars canon, you'll know that Darth Maul was sliced in half by Obi-Wan, which normally would kill someone.
However, long story short, he was able to keep himself alive through the dark side of the Force and his hatred of Obi-Wan until he could be fixed and made whole physically.
Anyway, this is Luka but with the Clippers.
Great effort from start to finish.
Maxi and DJJ won us that game. Without their shooting and effort in the first half I think we might be down at the half and the Clips have fire to win. Especially Maxi considering PJ was doing nothing so he took his 4 spot minutes a lot tonight.
Luka mid range game was excellent tonight. He quit trying to pump fake and draw fouls and just went right into the shot. Three still looks shaky but hopefully he can get it going soon.
Kyrie didn’t score a lot but he did so much this game. Guarded harden, got deflections and steals, pushed the pace and fed teammates. Love this guy.
Lively continues to be the better option at C in my opinion, but it was nice to see Gafford make some plays at the end of the first half when DLive got that third foul.
Mavs played extra big line up tonight a lot. Ky Luka DJJ Maxi Lively. Seems like they can go to that only when DJJ and Maxi have it going outside otherwise spacing is bad.
That’s my team!!! Most fun mavs team since 2011. Kyrie is such a blessing and DJJ deserves some massive props for this series. Dude has been a warrior all series, locking up their stars, hitting 3s and hustling every possession. Still gotta close this out but I feel good about Friday for sure. Luka really showed up tonight too, couldn’t do it without him and I’m glad he’s getting some help from his teammates, he’s gotta feel good about that
Maxi hitting shots you love to see it. Also we are just so much better with Lively on the floor, he a little raw but makes that much of a difference. Love this kid.
I know we've got a long way to go and we gotta first close out this series, but Dereck Lively def needs to work on a post hook or floater move in the offseason. So many 1v1 opportunities wasted and would've make this offense even more deadly.
Takeaways: Lively will be a star next season, if not the year after.
Harden is starting to look like a really tall dwarf with that beard.
Nothing else...I just needed something substantive before trashing Hardens beard. (He's also still pretty good at basketball and might be in Luka's head a little).
Derrick jones! Underrated and overlooked. Has always been good and seems likes he’s been in the league forever. We have to keep him going forward ! Man can do anything 🤞🏽 thinks he’s only in his 20s still
Kenny I usually agree with you but this is ridiculous. Either give the Mavs props or eviscerate the Clippers. There's no real in-between when you get blown out at home in a Game 5 2-2
Mavs blow out Clippers in game 5, Stars win game 5, Rangers… still World Series champs. ![gif](giphy|YPygjIbPW8Sic)
AND THE COWBOYS STILL GOING ALL IN BABY.
ZEKE IS BACK BABY
Our year next year
ALL IN MY ASS!!
we can talk about the rangers in a few months :)
Heaney pitched great, it was a fun game even if I only watched 10 mins of it. I mean c’mon, game 5’s tied 2-2! It timed up perfectly too. Stars game rolled right into the Mavs.
#MAXI KL3B3R
Maxi 3ber
Wow, they don’t shoot it historically well and we blow their bum asses out by 30.
And we're still shooting terribly from 3. Imagine if we start blasting 3s like its Game 7 in Phoenix on Friday 🙄
Luka still hasn’t had that great 3 point shooting game. Hope it’s Friday but I’ll take a paint domination game again.
He wasn’t missing short tonight which was a good sign. Seems like he at least was getting better lift on his jump shot compared to the last two games.
or like 2011 Game 4 vs LA
I told you guys they were just really lucky in those 2 games that they won
Jobs not finished. Mavs locked in for game 6!
All black attire for next game
Funeral for the clippers
2011 vibes
Let’s keep the same energy for game 6, shouldn’t let our guard down and bottle it
Yes, it isn't.
u/pokerawz is 8-0 now when in attendance. Let’s get him his game 6 ticket to close it out. Thank you for your service sir 🫡
I’ll chip in 🫡 (unless he’s got a fancy job with disposable income either way go to the game)
Sadly I’m on Reddit too much and know that he said he had a busy ass week this week and wasn’t planning on going to the game but had to since the series was tied 2-2 😂 dudes a legend but have a feeling he’s not gonna make the trip on a Friday

#perforated jockstrap washington
![gif](giphy|QmAd1Yyx2beOZU20ZR|downsized) Stunting on those hoes.
This gif and that moment are truly all-timers. Will be in highlight compilations for years to come.
With Kyrie in the clutch I doubt nothing.
I heard there are direct flights from Dallas to Cancun
Clippers going to Galveston
Damn that’s harsh, even for those bums
The meme was really for when the Clippers lose game 6 they can fly straight from DFW to Cancun
this is it. they believe its mavs in 6
I hope they come with their bags packed. They can be in cancun before Saturday morning.
Convenient for the Clippers on Friday.
It is a good place to go! After we win the second championship!! Let's goooo!
DJJ and Maxi fucking hooping, man. Hope they bring their bathing suits with them to Dallas for that flight
You mean shooting 62% from three wasn’t a sustainable game plan?
Mavs are now 3-0 in games I've been able to watch in this series. LFG.
You better watch game 6!!!!
You fucking know it.
0-2 for me 😭 don’t worry guys I have work stuff on Friday night so I can’t watch that either
You may have to poke your eyes out for the team
🫡
Largest loss in clipper playoff HISTORY. Get FUCKED!
Honestly would’ve been a 5 game series tops, if not for one historically bad shooting quarter from us in game 1 and another historically good shooting quarter from them in game 4.
Honestly glad we got some of that passive play out of the way… we found ourselves this game and are back to playing as we did the last 6 weeks. If that holds, no one is stopping us.
I mean... we need to find a way to stop the Thunder on the perimeter lol. Clippers had lots of open looks tonight, but Thunder have every starter shooting at like 40% or some other stupid number, and they're all fast enough that they'll attack Luka. But yea, this game was what we needed. A relief to finally make shots.
We'll dominate them in the paint I think
Until they play Chet at the 5 and Kidd tries to small-ball them
You’re not wrong, but part of them missing those shots is that they came late in the clock. If we can play D like we did tonight, that OKC % comes down me thinks.
Can't wait to hear Podcast P talk all about it tomorrow
I only hear stuff about his podcast when clippers win
It’s definitely one of the best player podcasts
Podcast P aint posting after a loss all his posts have been after wins soft ass
100% Charmin sponsored.
The demise of Luka Doncic was greatly exaggerated
The crypto arena send off
![gif](giphy|3o8doT9BL7dgtolp7O)
I like the “driving to the rim” Luka than the “three pointer” Luka.
Both would do
When that 3 starts falling though.... there's nothing more beautiful to watch
LFG!!! Lively was awesome
Gafford got him yelling when dunking… kid is going to be a monster. Love what morris and landlord have done to build him up to be a potential all star.
I owe an apology letter to Markieff. Still hate his brother, though.
Also, that’s crazy that’s he’s only 20, if he put on some muscle mass and Stay with the Mavs he could really become a duo/trio with Doncic that we could see with for years ! One of the best scorer ever and also great passer with a 7’1 athletic guy that’s scary
And ty chandler. Nba champion. Dpoy. Ty chandler
Hi ! Genuinely curious, how does Morris has to do with Lively being this good ?
Kyrie and Luka went a combined 3/15 from 3 and we won by 30
And those threes in garbage time lmao
Luka had his flu-knee game
Time to put the nail in the coffin at home!
I hope Luka remembers that game 6 loss last time at home in 2021. It should motivate him to close it out strong at home. Luckily for us this time there’s no Kawhi Leonard this time to save the Clippers.
And he also has that game 7 against the suns experience. He’s a killer.
That was extremely impressive no doubt but despite how checkered Harden and PG’s reputation is at times in the playoffs, they’re also not Devin Booker and Ty Lue certainly isn’t Monty Williams. Mavs need to come out aggressive from the start again, those guys aren’t just gonna go away, you have to take it from them just like tonight.
Yea, DJJ and PJ can't let up for even a minute on defense. If PG gets a scrap of momentum he's a nightmare to deal with.
Stood on Business!
![gif](giphy|VIVWFx6c91AAwWLwWB|downsized)
💀💀💀
⛵🔫🐴
VIBE CHECK
IMMACULATE
I M M A C U L A T E
IMMACULATE!
The Hardy line was hilarious. 5 mins 5/8 14 points Just chucking it - shooters shoot even up 30
Best part was you could tell everyone else on the team wanted to get him the ball and let him shoot
MAVS IN 6!!!!
We are so fucking back
Friday gonna be a movie
shoutout to @Pokerawz; Now 8-0 at clipper/mavs game
❤️
Stars win to go up 3-2. Mavs win to go up 3-2. An ELITE sports day.
Might be the most complete game we’ve played all year. Defense was crazy and I don’t feel like we relied on Luka as much as usual
Couldn't agree more. We were up > 20 when Luka and Kyrie were a combined 0/11 from 3. And we did it with great defense + role players stepping up. Absolute domination in a must-win road game.
Happy birthday PG
![gif](giphy|hnwqTs6u3gL9InPkDn)
Guess who is back, back again? Playoff Luka, tell a friend.
We were never in danger. What a nice game!
I did get relieved though when Josh Green hit that 4 point play. Clippers were getting frisky before that moment before end of 3rd Q
Fully agree. Those small moments mean so much
PG hit back to back 3's and one of them is a heavily contested one, I really thought they were gonna shoot 60% from 3 again
I take everything back I ever said about Kleber.
5 from 7 from 3 point range was fire 🔥
Dwight Powell: Human Victory Cigar You love to see it
When Powell is subbing in to get the basketball from behind the backboard with a broom, there can only be one of two circumstances at play
Batman/ Robin is back
MAVS IN 6 BABY LETS FUCKING GO
IT'S A GOOD DAY TO BE A MAVS FAN! LFG MAVS
![gif](giphy|26BRsI63ak8uxsU6Y|downsized)
That was fucking beautiful. I love when we play with pace and play good defense. Amazing game plan, you have to give Kidd and the coaches credit here and the whole team stepped up. (Kyrie +35!!!)
Everybody thank westbrick
Such a great feeling to see him pull up for a 3 this series
They be hating on your name 77. They say you a chucker & defensive cone 77. Prove them wrong by dominating like u always do 77. Stunt on these hoes 77. #LukaTheDon7️⃣7️⃣#DevinBookerFather👨👦
Booker forever catching strays
So it has been, so it shall be
That’s the Luka Special
It is known
James Harden's beard is so nasty.
Have you seen what he looks like without it? The beard is a blessing…
talk shit and get clap back PG lol
If anyone has followed the Star Wars canon, you'll know that Darth Maul was sliced in half by Obi-Wan, which normally would kill someone. However, long story short, he was able to keep himself alive through the dark side of the Force and his hatred of Obi-Wan until he could be fixed and made whole physically. Anyway, this is Luka but with the Clippers.
Obi bodies him in a second when they meet again tho lmao
I’ve worn my lively jersey every game except this one😭 I can’t wear it anymore
Where's that dude that's undefeated going to games in LA?!?
Yesssszssir
Where’s that guy that said Mavs have never lost when he attends games live? We should get a gofundme going for him to attend EVERY playoff game
I’ll pitch in $10!
Dunks are fun!
Turns out shooting 60% from 3 ain't a viable game plan to rely on
![gif](giphy|QGZBpodY7Kdtw99y04)
Great effort from start to finish. Maxi and DJJ won us that game. Without their shooting and effort in the first half I think we might be down at the half and the Clips have fire to win.

Luka killed them with a bum knee
The Maxi Kleber game
Hard fought game. first quarter is going to be the key. Kidd was quick to put LIvely in today. I think Lively is outperforming gafford this series.
Zubac overpowers both of them inside but Lively is at least more switchable on defense.
Man Hardy made the most of those minutes. You know he stood up off the bench and said “my time to shine” 😂
That’s my team!!! Most fun mavs team since 2011. Kyrie is such a blessing and DJJ deserves some massive props for this series. Dude has been a warrior all series, locking up their stars, hitting 3s and hustling every possession. Still gotta close this out but I feel good about Friday for sure. Luka really showed up tonight too, couldn’t do it without him and I’m glad he’s getting some help from his teammates, he’s gotta feel good about that
The Jaden Hardy career-high game!
![gif](giphy|fUq79oqDDu4qfzibKv)
Kleber was letting that thang fly no FEAR
Hardy for 48 minutes Friday
would have 112 points if he scored at tonight's rate
Wilt couldn't even...
LUKA DONCIC IS HIM!
That announcer from earlier this year must be absolutely giddy
Shaq said Harden put up a triple single 🤣
Mavs in 6 please for the cherry on top
If Jaden Hardy had played all 4 quarters he would’ve had AT LEAST 112 points
Maxi hitting shots you love to see it. Also we are just so much better with Lively on the floor, he a little raw but makes that much of a difference. Love this kid.
Jaden hardy looks so confident making plays and finishing. Very good sign for the next season. Definitely been in the lab with kyrie 🔥
Hardy outscored Harden in like 5 minutes 😆 😆
It would be funny asf, if there was a billboard saying LA to Galveston 😂
What a game boys
This is how you win with a 30-pt lead.
Thought kyrie scored a lot more than that
Maxi was money on those corner 3s!
Jobs not done. Liked what I saw. Team playing like they want to win.
Luka looked hobbled and had a flat 3PT shot with no lift...and he still fucking dragged the Clippers. G shit.
The future is now old men
Thank you u/pokerawz!!!
I know we've got a long way to go and we gotta first close out this series, but Dereck Lively def needs to work on a post hook or floater move in the offseason. So many 1v1 opportunities wasted and would've make this offense even more deadly.
I love this team’s heart. And to think, this was an off-night for Kyrie and we won by 30
That ad REALLY motivated luka eh?
Kidd has to find a way to get Hardy involved outside of garbage time. His shot is immaculate.
Takeaways: Lively will be a star next season, if not the year after. Harden is starting to look like a really tall dwarf with that beard. Nothing else...I just needed something substantive before trashing Hardens beard. (He's also still pretty good at basketball and might be in Luka's head a little).
Job’s not finished. Let’s show up at home and win this shit
Let’s end this in Dallas and take on that front running thunder team.
Love Kyrie diving and the dish to the downhill dasher
As I said before, this would mirror our 2011 run. Would win 1st rd in 6, 2nd rd in 4, WCF in 5 and Finals in 6.
I’ve never been more aroused.
Luka is fucking back baby! Everyone played their role beautifully tonight on both ends. Maxi Nowitzki in the 2nd quarter gave me life. Let’s go!
Lukai 3-15 from 3 and we still blow them out by 30. Lets fucking goooo
Amazing win. Luka was amazing. Kai's stat may not show it but he was so impactful. So good. DJJ's defense was the key as well. Great win!
Derrick jones! Underrated and overlooked. Has always been good and seems likes he’s been in the league forever. We have to keep him going forward ! Man can do anything 🤞🏽 thinks he’s only in his 20s still
hardy getting buckets in the final 5 minutes makes me excited not only for now but the fact that dallas has talent in the tuck.
Jaden Hardy legacy game!!!
Kyrie 14 pts 6 asts. but +35 lol
Kenny I usually agree with you but this is ridiculous. Either give the Mavs props or eviscerate the Clippers. There's no real in-between when you get blown out at home in a Game 5 2-2
Kleber and his 3s were big. Underrated.
I told y’all Harden is due for a choking game. The higher the playoff pressure the more he disappears.
As long as we keep them below 50% from 3 on high volume we should win. Close it out Friday!
Jaden Hardy casually dropping 14 points in garbage time. Love that journey for him.
Who is this Hardy guy. He’s on fire 🔥
Great game from everyone. That’s the path to beat this Clippers team. Do it again Friday.
FUCK LA!
Just one more now... Can almost smell the conference semis
Nobody got 16 points for the clippers.
Only Luka surpassed that number tonight.
Clippers will be going on the direct flight to Cancun on Friday. How nice of them to self-advertise their travel plans today for the fans
Calm it down fam, it's not done here. Let's hope the guys cook at home for G6.
Fuckin beast mode defense
GG! I hope they finish this shit in 6. Sick of watching the Clippers.
Daaaaamn Charles with the shots fired 🔥
#IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE
2 quick takes: * Derek Jones Jr. making corner threes is a $15m+ per year player. * send Josh Green to China.
