My Analysis
No Kawhi, no problem.
Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, as crazy as this may sound, the LA Clippers are better versus the Dallas Mavs without Leonard.
In games one and four without Kawhi, the Clippers jumped out on the Mavs in both games, up 27 in the first half of game one and up 31 in the first half of game four.
They won both.
The Mavs won games two and four with Kawhi in the lineup, 96-93 in LA and 101-90 in game three in Dallas.
Now tied at 2-2, the pivotal game 5 happens tonight.
No getting around the fact Luka Doncic is banged up playing through that right knee sprain and it's definitely hindering his play.
In game 4 he was 1-9 from behind the arc. Not exactly the Luka were used to as his Mavs battled back from down 31 down to take a 105-104 lead.
That's when Paul George hit the ridiculous 3 and James Harden was unstoppable in the last 1:30 as the Clips held on for the win.
For my dollar, I just don't see how much the Mavs have in the tank from the game four comeback and near miss.
They looked absolutely drained walking off that court on Sunday and yes, they have had 2 full days rest but guess what, so have the Clippers.
I don't trust them laying this kind of number tonight. I just don't.
Don't be surprised to see the Clippers win the game outright.

LANG'S PICK: LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS +3
I am 10-2 my last 12 with plays rated 100 dime or higher!!!!!
Both losses involve the fu@$%$king Indiana Pacers.
Lost a 100 dime play on them in game one. Lost a 200 dime play with them last night.
I build the winning streak with 3 straight 100 dime winners only to give most of that right back with the pathetic Pacers last night.
To say I am frustrated is the understatement of a lifetime.
I will continue to grind. I will continue to bang home these 100, 150 and 200 dime winners.
Tonight, I bounce back with a 4th straight 100 dime winner.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Another triple digit poop chute play for Langer

Wrong.
No lamenting on a single thing here today other than I was dead wrong.
Luka Doncic, on one leg, absoutely destroyed the Clippers. I didn't think he could do it but he did.
Tip my cap. What a performance. End of story.
After 3 straight 100 dime winners Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I have now dropped 2 in a row the last 2 days.
Just fu@#king frustrating. No other way around it.
I'm talking 4 straight winning days, followed by 5 straight losing days, followed by 3 straight winning days followed by 2 straight losing days isn't going to get it done.
I'm known for some epic winning runs. I feel one is coming. Been doing this over 30 years, I know when a rock solid run is coming.
It starts with this 50 dime winner tonight.
