 Clippers get embarrassed by Luka Doncic and the Mavs The Clippers were the favourites...Not anymore. They lost BOTH games on their home and now they gotta go to Dalls.  There have been 426 playoff series in which one team led another 2-0. The team facing that deficit has won only 27 of those series, or roughly 6.3 percent. But Kawhi is no stranger to 2-0 deficits.

If he continues on his hot streak with KP supporting him, they might as well be considered the favourites. This is from a bit of a biased standpoint as I am a Mavericks fan. But still, you never know what tricks Luka has up his sleeve. 1. The Mavericks offense was flowing, with Doncic drawing double teams wh...
