- We know that the Dallas Mavericks superstar, Luka Doncic, is a great scorer, but the team's success in Game 2 against the Los Angeles Clippers was due to his improvement in other areas, which will ultimately determine their playoff fate. Suns' Grayson Allen aggravates ankle injury vs. Timberwolves. Pascal Siakam leads resurgent Pacers offense in 125-108 victory that evens series with Bucks.

Tim Legler is the most intelligent, objective NBA analyst on TV. Great stuff.
He's the absolute best!!!👍
The best!
Yup and not bias at all
True...
@@InfamousSslickXthat’s what objective means
I think Gafford/PJ is a testament to how different playoff basketball is from regular season basketball.
Gafford came in to Dallas with all the highlights, dunks, blocks, and Wilt-like records of efficiency. PJ came in with very underwhelming shooting and counting stats.
Now playoffs mean players will get exposed on their deficiencies, especially defensively. Gafford strives on the physical game, but at 6'10 he can't do that against the taller and heavier Zubac. He's gotten exposed defending on the low block, where even skinny rookie Lively has fared better, because he's taller at 7'1.
At the same time PJ has been the Mavs' third leader in minutes and points, and a crucial part as both a point of attack defender but also a help-side rim-defender.
If the Mavs get out of this round, I think Gafford be huge in an OKC series. He’s thrived against those undersized bigs. Lively has been better against the bigger centers like Jokic over this run.
We also have to take into account that Gafford is not 100% healthy. He has been suffering a injury on his back from the beginning. I understand what you say but at the same time I still trust in Gafford. If he recovers he will have an important impact for the Mavs because he is a good player, physically strong and that gives you a lot of energy. We will see how he plays in the following games.
Pj and Dlive have been excellent. I never thought I’d see Lively effectively guarding at the perimeter. Man’s covering some space.
Not really :)) Obviously, Gafford isn't 100% healthy! He will show up!
Bad take. Clips defense focused to deny the center on pick and role. And they position a player on top to jam the pick and role. Mavs defensive scheme was terrible against Zubak game 1.
I am adoring all Tim Legler commentary. And Adam just makes it all the better. Keep it up guys!
That game was intense from start to finish. Dallas played incredible defense. This series is going to be great.
THIS WILL BE
MY GO TO PODCAST
FROM NOW ON.
As a Mavs fan I felt confident that Luka and Kyrie would make the plays to win in a close game like they have done all season.
YES Tim Legler isthe MOST OBJECTIVE ANALYST of the game. NEVER an air of BIAS on who the player he is talking about.
Despite the 33 and 32 pts game, Luka is yet to have a good game, much less a great one, but he is due.
i think luka's defense makes his performance in game 2 a good game. That was his best performance on defense, probably ever.
Luka played great D and made huge clutch shots down the stretch. By any objective measure that hasd to be considered a good game. It just isn't that amazing when you compare it to his own ridiculously high standards.
Yeah but he had a better game than everyone else on the floor by a wide margain
I'm not saying he wasn't good but a good Luka game is at a different standard. It includes him playing with better efficiency, fewer bad shots (like the 2-for-1 he took), a bit less ISOs, etc. A good Luka game is due and it's better than what he played so far, we all know he is plenty capable of having better games.
Honestly, if he makes 2 more of his 3s in game 1 and 2, that’s the difference. He did miss a couple point blanks shots also that are normally automatic. So the 33 game could have been 43 EZ. He’s do in the next one!
My new fave show/pod.... I heart you guys!!!
My favorite nba podcast.
This is the only sport podcast that I look forward to listening too
glad to hear.
Love listening to Tim
Go Mavs! Thank you for the great podcast.
i was super nervous watching this... What a relieve them winning in the end! Ky was huge... everyone was big for us in this one. Lucky Timmy sprained his ankle ;)
Yeah, I cringe anytime Tim has a semi open look!👀… of course during any playoff run you never know which player just may get hot and be useful... 🙏🏿 GO MAVS!
Tim is one of us #GoMavs
Dallas haven't had a great offensive game these past few games. They are due to have one or more
Best nba pod
Tim Legler, best unbiased analyst in the game
Off topic, but I love the intro music when the horns kick in.
Reminds me of They Reminisce Over You
In one of the first shows Adam talked about how he chose the music for the intro.
That's called hip-hop son

@@tbd407 No, it's not.
Laugh if you want Exum and Gafford are going to go crazy at home. Mavs will win by 12-15 on Friday
Or at least one of them
gafford had an ankle injury game 1 and back injury game 2, he will bounce back at home.
I trust in those guys. They are doing to be important in the following games or in the newt series if the Mavs beat the Clippers
Maxi played some of the best defense of his career as well, if he can be semi-reliable with those open look 3-pointers, this series may be a good rest period for Gafford.
Legler is the best. It’s always the role player off the bench who makes the best coach, analyst or GM.
great stuff!!!
This is what I've been looking for man. Basketball nerds who are passionate and WATCH the games. 10/10
If the best OFFENSIVE player in the league can beat teams with his D, the league is in trouble. Last year, I'd joke that he was Luka Oncic of the Allas Mavericks because he had NO D. Now, locking down Harden, PG, Kawai, Westbrook, etc.? DAAAANG
Ikr 😂 like they were hunting him and just getting embarrassed 🤣🤣
J kid is scheming great team defense if you watch closely there’s no driving lanes and Luka is tall enough to contest any shot Kidd deserves a lot of credit as well
I see a chance for Gafford to be usefull for the mavs but he has to stay out of foul troubles despite being aggressive. It helped the mavs tremendously that Zu was in foul trouble early in game 2.
Refs were really trying to help the Clippers too.
The problem is see with the Suns is KD and Book play mainly iso. So often Grayson Allen is open hut they rsther go for a contested3. They should move the ball more
Being aggressive early, and getting Zubac into foul trouble was critical in game 2 for the mavs
LUKA MAINLY NEEDS A DEFENSE AND SOME TIMELY SHOTS FROM OTHERS AND HE'LL MAKE U WIN GAMES
Mavs played Lively/Gafford 30 minutes, Zubac played 33 minutes. Both Lively and Zu had a +4 +/-. Zu did not force the Mavs to stop having a hard roller
Kevin Durant can get 40 all he wants (which is why we put KAT on him), but that's going to take a lot of shots away from an already frustrated Booker and Beal who'll have 0 rhythm.
Suns are cooked. Defense wins championships, and they don't have any.
Howl!!!!!! 🐺🐺
I’m not gay but I love Tim legler
You dont have to be gay to love a man
Haliburton's season clearly changed when he rushed back from injury in order to make sure he played 65 games. Legs, you're generally one of my favorite guys breaking down the game, but I cannot understand how you continuously skip over this - and no, I'm not a pacers fan. Hali himself has talked about it, as have so many other people. How are you the only one who doesn't?
This is the 3rd video I've seen with these two where they act perplexed and don't even mention the Haliburton injury. It's clearly a variable here. Pulling my hair out, haha.
To Tim's point about Luka passing up several shots for scoring opportunities within a possession or a drive, it was strategic imo.
In the first game Luka just dribbled up and shot a three in a defender's face almost all game. He made it a point in game 2 to not "settle".
It's actually pretty amazing that he can do that and it's also genius because it helps him later in games when he sees that guy again.
There was a play he took a defender (Zubac?) off the dribble to the elbow, faked a fade away, feigned a floater, pivots, spins then finally laid it up off the glass.
The reason that is genius is because he has now catalogued all the things he can do to that particular defender next time- smh. Insane.
And that 3-pointer I was talking about, from game 1 that he kept shooting in defenders faces, maybe too much? He saved that one for last, in game 2 in Hardens' face. Beyond next level chess!
It’s clearly Luka/Kyrie vs Kawhi/George because I feel they are now evenly matched everywhere else. Clippers need Harden to be great and Dallas needs their role players to make threes.
It’s as simple as that.
Wolves been wearing down teams like this all season.
Were you guys watching the game ?
Have you seen the defence Luka was showing ?
At which point, which the defense has gotten its props, but are we going to say, holy shit this defense locked down 3 of the league premiere shot makers for a full series? Like, i mean, what if its not the big 3s fault, what if it is just how great this defensive construction really is?
Mental toughness seems to always be lacking on KD led teams
Anyone else think the Suns should liquidate Bradley Beal for multiple depth pieces?
Nobody wants that contract. $50m a year for 20 ppg?
@@gffriedmanWell, San Antonio has a lot of cap space 😂 but I don't know if Pop likes Beal.
ALWAYS overreaction both directions after every game...League wide actually and since the beginning of time smh..KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE...the players coaches should and DO! food for thought
GREAT fortitude shown when Clips took the lead early 4th...J Kidd made good adjustments and God Kyrie Luka the Don made mostly smart plays under pressure....good learning experience for our young dogs. Marathon not sprint! AWESOMNESS to hold those hosers to 90 points! nice to see them getting their GRIT on! PHYSICALITY baby!! series begins after a home loss
Gafford was hurt early in the game, that's why he didn't play much more.
And now that we go home guys like THJ. Maxi, jones jr. All these guys will knock down those open 3s.
if you play d your offensive output decreases.
Luka didnt also hav best shooting games even tho he scored 30pts in both games why do they act like only kawhi and clippers players had shooting bad game
Because he made big shots when it matter and they did say Luka hasn’t shot it well
Luka can close. Also, Luka took two launched 3s in a two for one situation before half. Removing those, his shot chart was very efficient
Adam said “I’m glad you brought that up” so many times 😂
when zubac is on the floor, Kleber MUST be n the floor aswell. simple
When Kawhi gets the rust off, it’ll be scary. Clips in 7
When mavs hit wide open layups, it’ll be scary. Mavs in6
@@kennethhanes5702and free throws
If****
Mavs in 5
When’s his knee replacement surgery?
Bro why is exum not playing he won mavs like 4 games this season
Rotations get really tight in the playoffs, but Exum will get more chances to make an impact I'm sure. Luka played almost the whole game so that didn't leave a lot of minutes for other guards last night.
Exum was making too many mistakes and bad defense they needed that win
Matchups. He should play most of Tim’s minutes. Can’t stand watching THJ trying to guard Russ. Dante is the perfect guy for Russ.
@@iamchaunceman exum has slow feet tho i don’t like him on Russ.. exum good for big guards
Mavs in 5
Just ignoring the Cavs 😂
lol that IS messed up...wonder what the ratings are for that series
@@mariopippin3008 probably not good tbh. But come on Legs! Lol
126-109 Mavs win game 3
110-103 mavs w
Mavs are not out of the woods yet. Clippers are defending Luka better than anyone. Clips got a lot of hungry vets. Mavs are under pressure to win Both Dallas games or Clips will win I reckon
Dallas has shit themselves in the foot. Has nothing to do with Clippers defense. Under 38% on open/wide open shots (closest defender > 4’ away)
The guys getting those looks aren't great shooters.
@@williamroper5422 that’s not true. Again, taking from the deadline and looking at the guys averaging 15+ minutes outside of Luka and Kyrie, so the guys playing during these games, they average right at 50% shooting (24.6/49.2)
I think Kyrie should take more shots, not Luka. Kyrie taking 18 shots is not enough for a play off game, he is a better shooter than Luka and I think he turned down too many shots. You cannot win a championship if one guy hugs the ball. See where Harden ended up.
Kai has the green light to score. Luka is an elite 3pt shooter so either is fine to me
The last 20 games were against bottom tier teams
Yep including 2 against clips, okc, Miami, kings twice, Denver….
Mavericks only won by three points
Actually it was 6 but pg wanted that shot clock meaningless three that happened to go in. And mavs missed a lot of free throws. They led most of the game.
@@iamchaunceman still won by three
@@corysimmons455yeah and the scored less than 100 for the first time this season and still won, on the road playing their worst offensive game in 2 years
@@Dixonmcdixon clippers played they worse offensive game as well
@@corysimmons455 yeah because of Luka defense
Cope harder. When Dallas Luka torchers ur clips youll delete this comment lmao
Legs has been the mavs biggest supporter in the media what are you talking about
He’s probably talking about some of the dumbasses talking about how “good” the clippers are lmao
@@reececisneros1622 ugh, yea this should be under some1s comment about the all mighy clippers lol
Media and Mavs fans are delusional and dmb!
(Media and Mavs fans)
Game 1 Mavs struggle but it wans't the Clippers defense at all it was just a bad shooting game, Game 2 Clippers struggle and it was all Mavs defense it wans't a Clippers bad game.
The harsh reallity that media and Mavs fans fail to recognize it that, Game 1 Clippers defended really well and with transition offense they where able to shot the ball above they avg so it
wans't just a bad shooting game for Dallas or a ''lucky'' game for the Clippers, Game 2 Kawhi joins the game the ball movement got really stagnant almost forcing Kawhi to shoot and not
getting others involved, did Mavs played good defense? Yeah but it wanst all!
Now when I hear people saying that Mavs wont shot this bad (talking about game 1) sure they wont but Clippers also wont shoot this bad (talking about game 2) and these Mavs fans saying Luka and the Mavs still struggle Game 2... Well, they shot 42% from the field (bellow they season avg 48%) and 42% from 3 (above they season avg 36%) so please reduce yourselfs to your ignorance and don't talk just to talk! And media needs to start watching the games instead of watching the highlights....
Also Clippers played an exelente Game 1 biggest lead 29, second quarter Mavs came back because the lead was so big and any normal person could see that Clippers took they foot out of the gas and burn the clock starting they offense when there was 6 secs left on the clock (Mavs with 20+ FTA)! Mavs with a more or less season avg shooting night and Clippers with the worse shooting % of the season still manage to lose only by 3!
Clippers have a better and deeper team if you don't think so, well, you are dead wrong! Sure I'm talking as a Clippers fan but I have a brain and I know how to separate things!
I’m a Mavs fan. The Clippers are deeper and overall more talented. I would fall more to the middle in the debate of “great D vs bad shooting” in both games. Was a bit of both. Tim’s point, and I agree with it, is Dallas has two stars that you trust to come through in the clutch, vs the Clippers having one. Harden, PG, and Russ are certainly capable. But history suggests they will underperform in the biggest moments. We shall see though. Also, I agree with Tim that if the Clips continue to to be great at limiting Lively and Gafford offensively, Luka needs to be more aggressive in the midrange. It’s probably the best shot you will get in the possession. I fully expect Luka to GO OFF in the first game back in Dallas. But again we shall see. It’s gonna be a good series that could go either way. 🤝 Respect.
@BassYakCam Very respectful take. Seing both sides without bias. @TheKennyGM The guys on the show are also saying that the bad offense was because the teams were underperforming, not because their defense was good. As usual. Fans will be excited about their team and be dismissive about the other teams strenghs, nothing new. Both sides
Luka? Better than kawhi. Kyrie? Better than pg you act like the mavs don’t have players who can defend the clippers best players 🤣 Luka didn’t even shoot well tonight you think he’s not gonna start cooking yalls shit?? Mavs are the best defensive team the past 20 games clippers are not going to win this series don’t get your hopes up little buddy
Saw the Jazz and the Suns fans say the same shit. 🥱 mavs in 5.
@@reececisneros1622fr bro made Devin booker his son 😂 he’s about to have the whole clippers team calling him daddy
tim legler is a coward
Kawhi it’s the most overrated player in the nba today I stg
I am about as big a Mavericks fan as it gets and I will say that Kawhi is not overrated. He may be a little past his prime but he's still very dangerous.
He comes from an injury. He is a HOF and we have to respect him. If he starts feeling it he can be very dangerous.
