    Too bad he's been eh in the bibble (I caught the mispelling before I posted it, but I kind of like the word bibble. Not sure why, so I will leave it as bibble) He was arguable our 4th or 5th most important player. Obviously Caruso is #1 by a mile, then Lebron, then AD. But after those 3, who has been more important in more big moments than Dwight? We need him to show up. We desperately need him to show up.

    Kuz. But Dwight is right there. There are certain matchups where you really don't want to play MCG, but you still want Dwight out there due to his mobility. He'd be terrific if the refs would actually let him play without calling those weak fouls against him.

    BTW, the Blazers needed 42 from Lillard in a very tough game vs the Nets... they did win it... by 1.

    That Nets team was absolutely crushed today by the Raptors, so that kind of puts things in perspective.

    Clippers allowed just 38 points in 1st quarter.championship defence
    Most ever overrated team in the history of NBA.

    Pretty bad showing by the refs in that game. Porz shoved Morris and probably deserved a tech, but they should have given him a no call as a makeup for the really bad 1st tech.

    This league is SOFT af. NBA wants that Clipps - Lakers series i guess... but i can bet some serious $, we won't be getting any favorable calls.
    I might catch a game here and there but all the love is gone.

    thought the refs chose to swallow the whistle at the end, and it served the clippers. beverly fouled out, like, four times. looked like he realized they wouldn't blow the whistle and got brazen. game was lost on the play when he fouled curry on a three point attempt when the clips were up 4 with about 2 minutes left. they hit a three on the other side, ball game. six point swing in a 2 min game.

    anyway, the game was closer than i expected. the clips pretty much dominated dallas all year, and this was a very favorable matchup for them.

    luka is god. that is all.

    Adam Silver has one more thing he really needs to fix with his league. The amount of soft they project. Let the players jab and push a little. Stop giving techs off looks and simple words. Enough of the hard fouls that turn into techs. Let them be emotional. These decisions have cost teams titles. Suns were hit the worst and Dallas had this game in their favor.

    Mavs got majorly jobbed by the refs but they also failed to capitalize on a lot of opportunities in the last 5 minutes. That just comes down to playoff experience. If they'd kept their heads steady, the easily could have won, even with the bad calls.

    I hope they get swept and Giannis starts to look for a "bigger" team. Since Luka is not changing teams anytime soon, i'll settle for the Greek Freak.

    Bron likes to lose game 1, then sweep the next 4. It’s his version of the Gentleman’s Sweep. So, yes, it could happen to us.
