Well, as Elvis used to sing "It's now or never". You tie this thing two each and it's a series again. You lose and history has shown, unless your opponent has Doc Rivers as coach, that it's pretty much over. Even though didn't watch last game I got a feeling the Clips could pull it out. Kawhi GTD along with Hardaway and Doncic though Kidd has indicated already that Luka will play.
Lez go, Clips!

Clips looked old last game. PG13 can't turn the corner on anyone, Harden can't stay in front of anyone, and Kawhi is a step slow and can't elevate on his shots. Russ seems ageless but can't shoot. The young wings are energetic and good on fast breaks but ineffective in half-court sets. That leaves Zub and Norm to make a difference, lol. I think getting away from Theis and perhaps Bones at this point has not been the best idea.

I would like to see Bones & Theis to get more minutes. Or even Pj Tucker to get a good 5-10 minute run and throws some body slams out there. This is going to be physical 90’s version game. We got this.

I just want to see some hard defense, 4 quarters of it, and on the other end of the court, pass the damn ball. Pass it!
If we do that and we lose, I can live with it. If we lose again playing iso ball and being soft on defense I’ll vomit all over my TV screen. That’ll teach them a lesson!

Kawhi is out indefinitely, not surprising. Prob came back too soon.

line jumped to -7.5 after he was ruled out. Beat their asses Game 1 w Coffey starting so there’s room for optimism. Think Dallas will come out strong being up ten in first quarter then the Clips will grind it out close late. Could see it coming down to the final shot (PG, Luka, or Kyrie ftw).

Refs pick Harden to put into foul trouble. We probably should've challenged, that was a terrible call.

213 era has been a disaster.

Would we have been up 3-0 if Kawhi hadn't come back?

Now Zu gets his 2nd. We bring in Plumlee. I wonder what the logic of going to him over Theis is.

Game.1 offense is back without that slow old guy

Wonder what could've been if we used the game 1 win to try to steal more rest for Kawhi.

Looking like Game 1. Hate to say it but maybe the Clipper brass gave the wrong guy “the bag” (especially so unnecessarily early). Oh well lez keep riding this lineup/substitution pattern as obvs Dallas has trouble w it.

The team looks brilliant when the threes are falling. And they are falling big time!
