that last shot by paul george was insane
I seen a video where he practices that shot 😮💨🥶
@@Carlosgnz.where
That would change the game if he missed that one. Very good shot by a very good player.

The shot was nice I’m still trying to see how the ball stayed inbounds.
James Harden and Paul George played EXCELLENT and came up CLUTCH tonight.
Sin Kawai los clips ganan la serie
Ironic right lol 😂

Harden been a complete stud this series, they should have let kawai rest game 2 and 3, chemistry looking immaculate again.
Iluv kawhi but they are better without him
I been said Harden is going own this series. As for Kawaii I told a Mavs fan taunting me that Kawaii is taking away quality minutes trying to get in game shape. And no they are not better without Kawii when healthy. They are a championship caliber team with him healthy
The series hangs on PG and Harden at this point. Kawhi isn't 100% so they might as well rest him.

A really great game. That Paul George shot at the end- Kobe! Harden teardrops, Kyrie balling. This is why the NBA is instant excitement.
Harden is just good at basketball. He's a genius. I got goosebumps today

one of the craziest exchange of INSANE shots from the leagues superstars happened on that 4the quarter. We are blessed to witness this moment.
Harden must've just bought a new boat the way that flotation device was workin
Harden " the system" be wildin these series
James Harden is destroying every narrative about him this series. Not clutch? Wrong 5/6 in the clutch today Not efficient? Wrong his efficiency went up Playoff dropper? Wrong his stats got better
Took him long enough.
He's always been this good. People wanna find someone to pick on cuz their life is boring.
@@DEEZYD1230He Been Doing This Stfu N Go Watch Highlights
And he is years past his prime.
@@balin1eh he’s always been a great player, but his style of play didn’t always translate very well to the playoffs. Players can be a lot more physical and in the past he wasn’t scoring at his same efficiency. He also had problems defensively since bigger players would take advantage of
The beard and pg 13 were sensational in this great game 💯
This was one of the best Games EVER
Sigh ... Stop it
It would've been if Dallas won. Would've been the series too.
@@holden6104stop glazing lol
that layup by kyrie was crazy
I could not believe that went in, I was like holy sh*t
Irving is a wizard with the basketball.
Like how😮💨
Still lost
Kyrie has luka to make him better. Check stats. Kyrie has no pressure. Losing is always luka's fault. Wait until luka becomes a member of the mile high club and leaves the luka mavs to Kyrie
The back to back insane moves from kyrie and paul george are just amazing. This series is worth paying for if the call is not one sided.
Mavericks could not contain Podcast P and The System in the clutch moments.
James Harden on MVP mode
Super Kyrie, Triple Double Luca, but that was vintage PG13 and The Beard. What a game and series. If the Clippers win this series, that step-back three-pointer from the corner by Paul George may go down as one of the greatest clutch baskets in NBA playoff history.
Iconic Game , one of the best games ever
Mike Breen made this even more exciting with his calls, Harden heroics and Kyrie chaos were my favs 😄
James Harden was crazy at this game. How to defend him when his potential came to on a game.
A little off topic but JJ and Doris are REALLY good fits with Mike Breen. They let him do the play by play and they let us feel the atmosphere of the game by just being quiet, only chiming in after a play- and being very brief at that. I'm a huge JJ fan, but I wasnt ever as high on Doris but she has done an excellent job these playoffs so far. Really good broadcasting team
What happened to Breen - Van Gundy - Jackson trio?
@@finetrending7398Both JVG and Mark Jackson got fired when ESPN laid off like half its staff
What a shot from PG, when he's in his rhythm, so smooth, nobody better to watch. Harden is averaging 26 points over the 4 games in the series so far, hope they both keep it rolling 🤞
This is probably gonna be the best series this playoff season. The most evenly matched teams facing each other
Not even clips missing their best player of the season the player that beat the mavs himself 2x in the regular season
Favorite bucket of the game, was that PG 3. Probably the most clutch single shot of the game. All those Harden buckets were most clutch all together. Kyrie was a bucket too.
gonna be hard for the clippers to take the series with the refs siding with the mavs. 3 blatant missed calls is disgusting
Ya I didn’t understand the non-foul call on Zubac. He clearly was hit and then Dallas was also given the ball. The rulebook needs to be examined
@@JuliusSDeLaCruz As it stands, you can't call a challenge on no-calls. The refs obviously knew they fucked up badly on that play, but the challenge was called by the Mavs because, given the no foul call, it was clearly Zubac that last touched it, so they corrected the call that was actually made.
Both sides has missed calls, Paul George literally grabbed Kyrie’s Waist when he blocked his 3 lmao stop it
@@reyjae_4735stop making up shit , no he didn’t. You mavs fans are insufferable
They missed a lot of calls on both sides.For example , Westbrook hit kleber , I think , in the face and yhey didn't call it.
This is one of only 3 playoff games aired for free in the UK by the BBC. Damn if they are all like this, the whole UK will be getting into basketball
This was rhe best game of thr playoffs so far. Many have been blowouts.
@WaveRider1989 nuggets vs lakers game 2 was slightly better
@hlias_raskolnikov oh yea probably, I didn't see that game live had to sleep lol.
What channel were the playing it on?
@@WaveRider1989 That shot was unbelievable. Thats the moment of the entire playoffs so far

Without Leonard, the Beard came to play. Exciting matchup.
Where is Stephen A. where is Kendrick Perkins, where is Nick Wright and many more media that made casuals hate Harden so much for no sreason
No reason.?
The question is, why does Steve A Smith make so much money?
Where are you now after those last 2 games from Harden junior?

@@TheKennyGM You don’t know me little small boy! 😂🤣 You’ve been humbled junior go cry about it!
maybe this game proves that they don't need kawhi anymore. their wins in this series is all without him
Funny they already extended him
you dont know how fucking happy I am, I love harden he such a good dude and amazing player and russ, they deserves everything can't be going out like that without a ring
Casual Fans love to hate harden but he totally deserves a ring he is way past his prime and he's playing so great it's crazy He's just been unlucky most of his career especially that WCF game 7 as well as Kyrie going down in Brooklyn
This is the problem, we need the NBA playoffs are on national television. It's the reason the NBA ratings are down. 💯
100% they also rarely put regular season games on sometimes and for the life of me I don't understand
@@rimskyrichard8651 Money. The NBA has to milk every last dime from as many potential viewers as possible.
Zubac is the decoy in all the floater of harden, good job ty lue
Mavs had the game in their hands but couldn’t hold it. GGs Clippers. We’ll be back for game 5.
As a clippers fan I gotta say, this series is such a great look for both teams and the nba as a whole.. let’s see what y’all got headed back to LA
Is this the best playoff cast ever? So many future hall of famers
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="76">1:16</a> watched the move 5 times. James Harden pulled out some magic and it wasn’t a travel.
Clippers need a scoring machine Harden not a playmaker.
This whole regular season Harden's been their primary playmaker, expecting Kawhi to be healthy and PG13 the 2nd scorer. Now he's expected to be the 1st option with PG13
respect playoff harden and kyrie for ethical hoops also luka filling up empty statsheet as usual and chucking up momentum killer shots for mavs
Ive been saying kai has been the best player this series for the Mavs
He is clearly somewhat injured not 100% the problem is you can’t rest your best player in a play off series.
@@aewisjericho88482nd best player luka been getting his ass carried
@octoberbanks dude had a 30 point triple double but he getting carried?? Lol
@@manilla-gorillaWith poor efficiency
Pg13 and Jh13 turned into peak Allen and Shaq
Best series of this round, by far
that 3 from PG was so clutch! go Clippers!
The layup by Kyrie, then the three by PG, crazy sequence.
That layup by Kyrie and that shot by Paul George were both unreal. The Mavs showed how dangerous they are by rallying back, but the Clippers showed their experience by keeping their composure and pulling it out. Harden and PG both stepped up hugely tonight. Kyrie did what he does. Luka was not that good tonight overall, but he stepped up late. We'll see which team carries their momentum into Game 5.
The incredible intensity and superior performance by both teams makes this a CLASSIC game, imo. Any basketball fan would be memorized watching this play out - I know I was.
Mike breen with another classic…….*irving inside for the layup……OOOHHHH!!how did that go in*
The best series yet by far
Kyrie and PG out there showing their bag
What a match! I litteraly jumped at George's triple
They let kyrie down man he did everything he could bro he dropped 40 for a classic comeback game and it won’t mean nothing without the dub
that's why i love paul George
Paul George and The Beard were just too much for Doncic and Ky💯😭
Moral of the story, don't bring back Kahwi, just let Harden and PG cook.
Definently want to see James Harden and Paul George!! No Kawhi needed!
The comments are vibes. All appreciation. Everyone came to play today. Kyrie was insane. That Clutch step back fade away 3 by PG13 was magnificent. And The BEARD tear drop after teardrop when it mattered most. I love this series.
i got goosebumps in kyrie's wild lay up finish 🔥💯
harden always blossoms when he is 1st option
Powell came in clutch with his points in 2nd half fr
The Mavericks sold at towards the end because they left the paint wide open for Harden to drive like 5 times
That's what happens when Lively and Gafford are on the bench
Mavs not using Gafford is really baffling. They went 18-3 when he started
Jason Kidd ruined their comeback. Kleber played the whole 4th instead of lively or gafford
James Harden has been the only consistant on the Clippers. Give him respect. This playoff series just to be clear
As a former Beard hater, who really questioned the move when they picked him up, I gotta admit he has proved himself worth the downsides so far. I mostly still can’t handle the flopping, but I will say after looking at his career, a lot of the blame he gets is because his teammates seemed to have let him down or get injured. But I get the feeling the clips won’t be able to sustain this success across three more series without a healthy Kawhi.
@@danielprince229 He's the GOAT, put some respeck on him

The clips are much better without KL2 against The Mavs; the Clippers won games 1 and 4 without KL2. They lose when he played
Nice win no kawhi needed
Last 5 minutes James Harden scored 11 points 1 rebound 1 steal the man is hungry.
Amazing layup drill for harden at the end great defensive strategy 😂
Paul George 🤯🤯
I hope they make it all the way Ik it’s going to be tough
even the Clippers coaching staff is hypped.... dont remember seen a coaching staff like this... Great energy!!!!
That corner three by PG was clean asf.
What a series
Clutch after clutch after clutch
A best match up for 2024 playsOffs . 💪💪🔥🔥
Vintage Harden is back 🔥🔥
Wild Ending ‼️
STOP PUTTING THE SCORE IN THE THUMBNAIL, DAMN!
That last shot by paul george was insane
Luka is so hard to watch. Bro played ass and cried all game.
Luka with that game tying 3?
he cry every game , just ignore it at this point

@@FrancisFordFurnah Luka was just flopping every posession
I guess he's ass with a triple double

LAKERS NATION MAMBA MENTALITY SOLID💪🏆🙏🌟
We knew a big kyrie game was coming and LAC weathered the storm, these next 2 gonna be insane !
Harden was killing Doncic. They both have no D (pause), but Hardens defense affects Doncic more than Doncic affects Harden
yeah wit Luka playing hurt
@Rambo20244 so Doncic must b hurt during the whole regular season too against others. Ok. Got u
@@astreets749 dude I know you saw luka fell on his already injured leg... dude was clearly hurt and already in foul trouble
@Rambo20244 so again, he must b hurt all REGULAR SEASON when it cones to D if ur saying Harden is only killing him cuz Doncic is hurt lmao. Ur slow or sumn. Doncic gets killed by errbody fam. He just kills back
@@astreets749 I guess you don't watch games if you didn't see luka shutting pg and harden down in game 2 and 3
Even tho Luka was off today, the rest 3, Kyrie, PG and Harden were simply 🔥 af today! Elite scoring abilities! That absolutely filthy layup from Kyrie! Not to mention his clutch 2nd half! Same for Harden! With the clutch buckets in last minutes! And PG with a sensational 1st half and that clutch behind the glass 3! Oof!
DAMN! Is 2018 harden going to come back????
Luka terrible defense is mind blowing. How do ppl consider him a great player is crazy too me. Faking a injury as usual once the clips about to win the series. Kryie is the best player on Dallas #goclips
that shot by paul george was just greatn ess. i think our mavs will prevail this series though.
U guys shouldnt spoil the game on the thumnails
When clippers shoot 3's efficiently they are unbeatable!!! Unless the opponents can answer back those 3's
We need the playing mentality of both harden and george activated, with or without kawhi, unstoppable if that happens.
Harden is a Mavs killer since OKC and Rockets days.
Bruh I believe the clippers ChEMISTRY just flows better without Kawhi, it's a similar set-up like the mavs where you've got two generational megastars at the helm running the show while the other solid pieces are connected to create a dynamic offense/defense..tbh Kawhi should sit out the rest of the series
Mav tears brightens my day 😂
High level of basketball men!!!
I will never understand what Kidd / Washington were thinking going with that type of defense. Completely gifted the Clippers the game.
thats very entertaining to watch
Every game is WILD & CRAZY 😂😂😂
Best game of the playoffs so far
how was this a wild ending? The Clippers were in control the entire time.
this game was fire.
