Doncic is still sick, didn’t do much in shootaround. He has been sick for nearly a week and admits that if this was a regular season game he probably wouldn’t play. pic.twitter.com/tTmK8oeJXs

Was saying I thought Luka looked sick, and remember someone saying Hardaway was sick as the series started.

Just another reason to despise thj

Luka playing Slovenian 4D chess. 50 point triple double eminent. I remember a certain German legend having the sniffles before finals game….

He also said the knee is "not good" at the end of the video.

I'll take that as a 1st quarter

Missing wide open 3s is probably one of the more frustrating things in basketball

That has to be shooting

Ffs pj

Going pretty well so far, only concern is that everyone but Mann and Zubac are playing like ass for LA but they're only down 4. This is classic playoff P/playoff Harden, we should be up more.

Would really love to know what is going through Lukas mind on thay last possession of the half

He just willingly gives away momentum with trash possessions like that. It's infuriating

So sick of last possession Luka…

The defense has been really good so far and we forced Mann and Zubac to make some tough shots. Those guys are keeping the clippers in the game.

Love PJ's defense and he got Maxi going in that quarter with the assist on the first Maxi 3. Props to Maxi for finding his shot too.

I don't really mind the ones where he feels like he is in a rhythm and is setting up a good step back 3.
Too often he takes really bad ones, or just kinda stands around and then shoots.
Unless he gets it with 10+ seconds, I think less than that the ball should be with Kyrie. At least until Luka feels good enough to have the threat of the drive again.

Why drive and shoot or drive and dish when it's way easier to settle for a 3 from near half court? Luka is so frustrating

Luka 7/10 on 2 pointers and it feels like he hasn't missed a mid range all series. Props to him for getting to his spots and getting in to the paint for layups or for lobs.

He's doing a great job of forcing the issue to get into the paint this game

Luka dribbled out the clock and took a 40 footer before half. As expected

I'm so sick of him dribbling the ball up top with 3-4 seconds left. I swear it's like the last 5 times he gets the ball for a last shot. So dumb. Like I can't even come up with an explanation for what he's thinking. Other than he just doesn't want to get hit or is a lazy POS.

He also does the same thing any time we are on a run.

Give the ball to Kyrie on every possession where we run the clock down. This is ridiculous.

Westbrook and Harden a combined 2-14. Must be an important game.

I think he actually thinks him taking a 30-35 footer and possibly a 30 foot runner or floater is a higher percentage shot than him letting anybody else shoot anything. It's wild.

Whoever in bounds in that situation going forward just needs to pass to Kyrie and Kyrie needs to tell Luka to clear out.

Great defensive possession to start the half then Luka gets his pocket picked by Coffee lol

Of course he nearly airballs his first 18 footer this half.

It's crazy they just let Mann foul Luka

Both hands all over him every possession. Meanwhile harden got a call on Kyrie 30 feet from the basket…

Dallas should be up 20 right now. LA is trying to hand them the game and they're just like "nah".

Wtf is this whistle now…

Luka has had to move his step back in by about 6-7 feet. It sucks, but I at least appreciate that he has recognized he has to do that now.

That's a laaaaate whistle

Incidental contact and Clippers get the call…

This is an interesting wrinkle, we are getting up 2 bigs for screens and Lula picks which way to go. I'm sure that has a name

Russ just clattered into Luka fullspeed, crazy

Botched Luka and Kyrie 2 on 1 leads to Flight 55.

Clippers are playing 4 on 5 - Westbrook is absolute trash!!

Russ 0-8 in 11 minutes. Hes feelin it. Keep shootin Russ.

And PG being dominated by DJJ. George is so scared to shoot, even after he gets in to the paint.

Kyrie should have let DJJ swat that in to the 10th row.
