When the Mavs drew the Los Angeles Clippers in their first-round playoff matchup, my anxiety was already high. Just a year removed from Kawhi and Co. sticking a dagger in MFFL’s hearts, the wounds were still healing. Being so conditioned, I didn’t really give Dallas much of a chance going in, yet somehow after what I
May 24, 2021 There’s no more fascinating chess match already underway in the first round of these NBA playoffs than Luka Dončić–led pick-and-rolls vs. the Clippers’ dynamic defense. Clippers coach Ty Lue wasted little time throwing several coverages at one of the league’s preeminent playmakers. Switches, blitzes, drops, hedges. They ducked under screens and fought over them, with Leonard, George, Nicolas Batum, Patrick Beverley, Marcus Morris and Rajon Rondo all spending at least a few possessions as Dončić’s primary defender.

Friday night, the team let a pretty desultory Knicks game get away from them in the fourth quarter. Last night, they weren’t really in it until the fourth, but a furious comeback led by Luka Doncic fell short. (Partly this happened because he picked up another technical foul.) This is coming after a week where their only win was thanks to Luka Magic at the end of the Grizzlies game. Don’t love it. No Appointment Necessary For Vaccine Monday At...
3 things as the Mavericks try to stop the streaking Knicks Share this story Photo by Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty Images Last we heard from our good friends the New York Knicks, Dallas caught them in a bit of a rough patch. The loss against Dallas in early April saw New York dip back below .500 in the midst of losing five out of six games. Well, wouldn’t you know it, those wacky kids just don’t know how to stay down! The Knicks come to town on Friday riding a four game winning streak and holding the 5th spot in the East.
