After evening the series at 2-wins apiece, the Los Angeles Clippers entered Game 5 with all the momentum and in a good position to take control of the matchup.

Instead, they were bested by Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks again. This time, though, it has put them on the brink of elimination in the very first round.

With the Clippers staring down yet another massive postseason disappointment, NBA fans took to Twitter to react:

The Clippers don't have a very illustrious history as a franchise. They have struggled to attract talent and stay relevant tint their own city.

So when Kawhi and PG arrived in 2019, it was like a changing of the tide. Finally, after years of mediocrity and bad luck, the Clippers had two reliable stars to get them over the top.

Unfortunately, it seems the team just can't get out of their own way. Just a year after melting away a 3-1 lead in the Conference Semis, they stand on the verge of elimination in just the first round.

No doubt, Game 6 will be huge for the Clippers' future, and for the legacies of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

We'll see how they respond with pressure at an all-time high.
