As a mavs fan, was honestly impressed with Zu. That man treated our centers like kids early in the series (especially game 1) and kept up competent play even when they got going

Rumor has it Leonard is going to be able to play game 7 against Mavs.

LET IT RIIIIIIIIIDDDDEEEEE

Maybe Paul will address it on his next podcast from Cancun 🤣

Accusing Gafford of “stiff arming” on that dunk is rich coming from a team that employs PG13, who notoriously pushes off on almost every shot he takes and gets away with it…😂

Love that Dallas ended the Clippers “Staples center” era with a 30 point blow out. Fitting

Honestly if the clippers were just more transparent about the kawaii situation. People wouldn't really have much of a problem, but it just seems like there's like an air of mystery behind the guy that makes him look really bad

Kawhi vacation mode every April

Bro not impressed because Kawhi “wasnt playing” as if the mavs didnt beat the Flippers both times when he was playing lmao.

How's the weather in Cancun? LET IT RIDE............#raccoonsquad #KYRIEOWNSHARDEN #LUKAMVP

Very few of our guys played with HEART and you can’t teach that, I honestly don’t know where we go from here but I’m rocking with the clippers for life🏀

LET IT RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE

Clippers fan since your Momma was wiping your nose. This has been the greatest drop from potential at its peak to finish at the end since I’ve followed these boys. I’m almost numb to it all now.

Well Again, who's excited for Cancun?! Cmon Boyz!!

I called Mavs in 5 at most in 6. Yall laughed about me, I was right, yall were wrong and now yall going to Cancun. Cheers!

Who ever put Dallas to Cancun on the billboard, Thank you!

The top 7 oldest teams in the NBA either didn't make the playoffs or got knocked out in the first round. Clips got out worked and out muscled by a younger team. NBA GMs need to start looking at their teams' rotations, because youth matters.

Hey Darian, Isaac from Liberia here really respecting your love for the Clippers. Go Mavs though.

The ref tried their best to help the clippers

Coming as from a mavs fan, and I'll drop a like and sub, gg this series. I watched all your pods this series and you do a great job bro. Sucks that Kawhi was hurt man I wanted to beat yall so bad because of the last series we had but I really wanted Kawhi healthy. sucks, but good luck next year man

what you said about PG and Harden is so fucking true bro all the talent but they just don’t want it bad enough

Keep up the great work, appreciate the time and effort you put in. A true professional and yup it was another rough year but can only move forward now.

Bro really hurt 🤣🤣

Love your work Darian, I enjoy your raw honesty. Enjoy Cancun 😊

The disrespect. Y’all been talking trash saying you didn’t need kawai then turn around saying not impressed. Take that L. Blow it up or prepare for more of the same.

The poison pill was the SGA trade. Imagine if the Clips had let Kwahi sign with the Lakers, and kept SGA and all those draft choices. I've been waiting for a rebounding PF for 5+ years. I would blow the team up, keeping Powell, Zu, Mann, and seeing what comes our way after Paul George signs with the Sixers...opening up his salary. Kwahi is a great player, and a terrible GM.

Disrespect to Mavs. Did you really think kawhi would lead you all in the playoffs? Wake up... Hes done, harden is old, and PG disappears.

Good stuff Darian. I'm a Mavs fan and think you're stuff is quality work. Keep it up, and good luck next year.

That gafford dunk on zu was def a push off foul, but damn that was nasty. They were battling tough against zu all series

R.I.P. Flippers 🫡, enjoy Cancun 🌴🍹🐠🍍🦜 and say your goodbyes to PG because he wouldn’t come back if he knew what was good for him, save travels 🚕🚎🛫 and LETS GO MAVS!!!!🔵🐴🔵🐴🔵🐴🔵🐴

GG’s clippers. It’s a shame we didn’t get a series with our teams at full, but that’s life. I underestimated Zu big time and was really impressed with his grit and heart. Not to mention Terrence Mann and Norman Powell are very impressive players who want it… I think they both can become really intriguing players with greater responsibilities. I kind of saw those three as your leaders, which is of course disappointing, but also encouraging--when you’re looking down the road of things. I’m kind of good after three series now, but hell we’ll probably see each other again, sooner or later

I am a Mavs fan,, you make me laugh when you spiel your intro "locked on Cancun Clippers" you make my day. I love your show man, please keep it up. I only watched you since game 1 but already subs to your channel and to your dime dropper channel too.

So did Clippers go to Cancun directly from Dallas?

Dude at this point we didn’t beat you injured, everybody knew kawhi wasn’t going to play. He doesn’t play for the clippers. Your team is Paul George, James harden and Russell

In 2020, Dallas played most of the series without their second best player, lost in 6. Yet I have rarely heard that context from Clipper fans to help explain why they won that series. Thats because you play the opponent lining up on the other side and not the "on paper" version. The bigger story is how much has changed. The finesse team vs the power team in 2020 flip flopped in this series. When the Clippers went bonkers from 3, they held their own and won two games. That was the only way theu could compete with this year's Mavericks.

Everything you said about PG is what ive felt for years. I truly hope PG goes somewhere else.

Hey bro I feel it imagine me being a all los angeles fan of kings dodgers and clippers for 35 years from nyc I love kawhi and George but as a loyal but real sports fan this is not working and I was at a brooklyn cyclones game yesterday with my family and I was getting trolled even in coney island .but I feel because of our new arena they are running in back great show great energy man I'm almost 51 and have endured more pain than u have

The worst part is Shai is still in the playoffs 😂

Hey Darian, I enjoyed tuning into your show as a Mav fan. Great work as a content creator. Wishing you the best 👍

Lmao. This was a rant of a disappointed fan. I loved this. I'm subscribing.

WTF…. This guy really said he’s “not moved” by the ass whoop the Mavs handed him. The Mavs can end up winning the Finals, but you’ll hear whoever this guy is say that he’s “not moved.” 🤡💯

At least Harden came through with his usual close out game. He never disappoints.

Mavs fan, but I have a lot of respect for you Darian. You do a great job and are obviously passionate about ball and the Clips. Hopefully your GM will stop being a star F'r and build you a team. Good luck next year!

Bro in the bubble you beat us in 6 without KP and Brunson and having to play Boban at center. The other series u won in 7 with us still playing Boban at center but was more legitimate of a win this was the best mavs team you faced. The clips was 2 60% from 3 games away from getting swept or losing in 5. Kawhi wpuldnt have made a difference. He's older and his knees are his knees.

T Mann on Luka 40.5% FGs, 23.9% 3s. But 153 attempts.

Kawahi legit had 1 month of prep Yall saying hes the difference with how yall played w/o him is sad

Darian, you are good at this. Good luck to your broadcasting/podcasting future. But the Dallas defense was a problem for yall… every time yall got going the Mavs adjusted. Have a great summer. Good luck next year…

as a mavs fan, earlier in the series, i wanted kawaii to play, because those were the games we won. Made me nervous to see that he was sitting before every game, clips seem to click without him.

Haha clippers lost 2 games with kawhi. Stop with the excuses 😂😂 cancun Clippers 😂😂

LET IT RIIIIIIIDEEEEE!! I enjoyed Locked On Mavs-Clippers crossover episodes and I like your analysis.

These teams need to stop letting their players play gm, its getting ridiculous.

Dude stop it. The Mavs simply were the most physical and locked in team. If y’all weren’t shooting lights out in game 1 or4 for the 1st half, y’all would’ve got swept. And that is with or without Leonard. He played 2 games that y’all lost in case you forgot.

Clippers need to blow it all up and try something different

not impressed because the claw did not play ?😂 mavs were the favorite coming in with or without him. TAKE THE L GRACEFULLY AND ENJOY CANCUN

Even with Healthy Kawhi, you guys were off to Cancun, Darian. This series went to 6 games because Mavs got lazy in 2 quarters in the entire game 1 and 3. But we hope you guys a bright future. ✌️ from 🦊 squad.

Cancun on 3 😂

RACOON SQUAD! LETS GO!

Thanks man it was a fun series i enjoyed the cross episodes! things will be better in the new area, looking forward to see how you prepare for it this offseason! Go Mavs

Mavs fan here. Loved the crossovers and will definitely watch the show each time the teams play against each other. Fingers crossed with rebuilding and for a full health Kawhi!

Mavs fan here. Listened to your podcast since Game 1 Darian, kudos for a great channel it's very entertaining. Hope next year your Clippers find a way. Thanks for the series coverage

Wish Kawai was healthy so this series win could feel better but its next man up era and Luka played hurt and sick. So with that i have to be proud to be a Maverick fan amd cnt wait to face the Thunder lets go Mavs !

You play the team in front of you. GG Clips.

As a Westbrook fan, thank y’all for the last big memories…. Whoever put that banner up is foolish

Darian, you do an amazing job! Very passionate, knowledgeable, and realistic with your analysis!! I just started listening to you this year and I, like most of Clipper Nation, had so much hope for this year. Unfortunately, it ended so poorly. But Keep up the great work👌🏽🔥💪🏽🤓! I completely agree with everything you’ve said. However, I somewhat disagree with Ty Lue as the coach. I feel like he did a very poor job this whole year with the way he didn’t give more rest to James, Paul and Kawhi throughout the season so as to prevent injuries like Kawhi and burnout like James and PG when we needed them most in the playoffs; like getting Bones, Brandon Boston and Theis more minutes in each game where it wasn’t super close so our older stars could get some rest and keep The Young bloods engaged and develop as well. I felt like he relied too heavily on James and our stars to run the offense and letting them do what they wanted to which in the end, left them tired and injury prone as a result. So many times they seemed like they were disorganized or the rotations/matchups were poorly used or questionable at best. In short, I think he relied too much/overused our stars in the regular season to try and get a better seed, but ended up backfiring in the end with Kawhi getting hurt and James and Paul looking tired and unengaged when we needed them most. And also the rest of the team seem disengaged as well not getting many minutes. And I don’t see why he didn’t at least try to throw the very athletic Kai Jones to battle Lively and Gafford as well as use Theis more. They just seem so much more athletic than us and I think adding the very long and athletic Kai Jones and a hustler like Theis would’ve helped spark some energy and athleticism in our team. But he didn’t even try. I like Ty Lue as a person and I know he has coached very well in the past, but I don’t think he’s done very well for the Clippers the last couple years (I know we’ve had really difficult injuries with our stars to deal with) but he uses too many excuses to why we lose and look so horrible often times. The intensity of the players and the way they play usually reflects the coaching.

welcome to another edition of tuned out clippers!

Well at least you took out one of our best bench players in Kleber. Coffey must be really proud of that! Great sportsmanship by that guy...

Clipper fans called me a clown and a piece if shit when I said there was no chance you guys win with the players ya'll had. Even with Kawaih, ya'll would've lost. Now yall are quiet. 🤦

Agree 100% about PG just done with him. No urgency, no stepping up when kawhi was out and truly looks like he didn't care. You wanted money then show up and play like it. Thanks for the time but hope we sign and trade him in off season because it's clear he doesn't have championship mindset and shaq called him out for it and he was right.

There are 3 things guaranteed on this planet…. 1) Death 2)Taxes 3) Clippers/Suns will never win a championship!!

We took yall out twice with Kawhi so... i think youre pushing it a bit to say he would have been a huge difference maker for you guys. Best of luck next year folks! Enjoy Cancun!

Excuses... Whatever help you sleep at night. 💔💔💔

Have fun in Cancun

i did severely underestimate dallas but i also thought we would get a healthy kawhi by AT LEAST game 2 maybe 3

Kawhi ready for game 7…in cancun 🤣

Thank you

Good for you

Always enjoy your podcast… hope you continue with locked on clippers … at 76…. I lived through watching 1990s NBA ball… no need for me to rewatch it…. NBA athletes are the best-conditioned, highest - skilled in the world of sports- to see the “ powers that be” turn this into professional wrestling on a basketball court…. Just demonstrates a modern example of the king who cut open the goose that laid the golden eggs in order to get all the gold at once…. So I’ve discontinued my league pass subscription and ending my KZfaq tv subscription… and resigning my lifelong membership as a NBA fan…. Take care…. Oh by the by….remember…the clippers finished above the lakers….

Yea I agree the Gafford dunk looked like an offensive. Probably would of been if Zu sold it

MAVS IN 6 FLIPPERS 🤣 😂

We’ll always have Cancun 🦝

Definitely rough. I been a Clippers fan since they were the San Diego Clippers and it's always been rough. Better now than before though, Donald Sterling is no longer around. We now have Balmer who has pockets and the desire to win. However because of the lack of picks, the cap situation, the age and health of this roster, we are looking at 4-5 year fix window of no title hopes.

GG. Its the Cancun stuff really..

I don’t think you can use an injured Kawhi as an excuse when you have an injured and illness stricken Luka on the other side of the court. The difference is Luka toughed it out while Leonard once again sat it out, and Kyrie is a proven closer against PG and Harden who are known playoff fizzlers.

I feel ya, Darian. I've said enough in the DD stream comments. Ballmer _should_ send the HoFer's packing if he wants to return to elite status in 3-4 years, but the Q is if he WILL rebuild amidst the unveiling of his shining hoops Tech-Mecca.

I don't understand starting PJ. One of the big issues in this series has been rebounding, apart from Zu the Clips don't have another strong rebounder in the starting lineup. PJ gets you middling defence, almost no offence, just corner threes and isn't a good secondary rim-protector. So my question is, why not start Theis instead? He's a better defender, better rebounder, better shooter by not being confined to the corners and he's a lob threat. Like at this point do you think PJ is a much better perimeter defender? If he's better, it's not by much and you're giving up all this other stuff.

The Clipper curse is real 😭😭😭

I said this before the start of this series… It may be a case of “be careful what you wish for,” but I would have really preferred to have a healthy Kawhi to play the series…. Because I hate people making excuses and diminishing what Mavs could have (and actually had) accomplished in the first round against the Clippers…

Man imagine shai and jdub on clippers shit got me fucked up 😂

Ty Lue should get the blame for trying to use Russ as a Ray Allen

Cancun on 3! -courtesy of Nick, LET'S GO MAVS!!!

Congrats on your vacation to cancun!

Told you so many times now 👍 The Clippers is a CURSED TEAM 👌 no money can buy a NBA CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 3 hall of famers eliminated in the the 1st round of the playoffs 😂😂😂

Now we know why the advertised Dallas to Cancun in LA. How does Kawhi have anything to do with PG and Harden go8ng missing offensively? And Westbrook going absolutely missing.

Remember when the clippers were talking shit when KL and PG landed?

Thank you Kawai and PG for Shai and JDub and the other picks! Wish us luck! Be nice to Russ and we don’t care about Harden 😂

Kawhi deserves the blame like cmon the guy is never playing

It's not only about health this team. They are getting older.

S.O. to Darian for being a superb host. Go Mavs! #cancunclippers

My plans for next season DV, keep Bones, Boston, Mann, Coffey, Miller, K. Brown, Zubac, Jones and Diabate. Let Harden, Westbrook, Theis, Plumlee and Moon walk. Somehow trade Powell, PG, Leonard and Tucker, with a weak free agency class this maybe possible. In return obtain young high upside players 24 and under, and start over. I know this will be difficult and hard to accomplish, especially with the opening of the new arena, but this team is screwed now, might as well face facts the future looks awfully bleak. Give me your thoughts bro and have a good summer, and try not to anguish over our Clips.

Mavs injured during the last meeting too! Porzingas, Brunson come to mind, probably others. Change of guard, you had your wins.
