GAME #76: NUGS (53-23) @ LAC (47-28)—WED 4/4 7 PM, TNT

[Dynamix]

Haven't watched a live game since the early one against the Sixers. Should've eased back into it when we played Charlotte or something, my heart could barely hold on when the last shot went up.

Joker still scored 36 points but Ty had to give Tucker a good look at him [17 minutes, minus-12] in case he needs a panic button should we meet in the playoffs. And Joker didn't get a good shot--Tucker guarded him well enough and Joker sorta heaved it up there, unlike that clean look Doncic got to win that famous Game 4 in 2020.

Jokic usually makes those heaves, mofo is human after all

I will never understand this team

Pelicans lost 3 games in a row and slipped to 7th, might also lost Zion for couple games. Safe to say it's Dallas or Phoenix in round1.

SOFIA: Tonight's Thread Winner.

We just knocked off the defending champs. Without our best player. And you can't even tell if we won or lost around here.

This is supposed to be fun.

If the clips were to sweep Phoenix.. I just want some way to play Sacramento. I agree though, it does look like those two, with Dallas looking most likely.

Great team effort. Great win. Thank you LAC.

The most 2023-2024 Clippery thing to do now would be to lose to the Utah Jazz without Markannen/Collins/Clarkson, the very next night.

Good win. Maybe we can build this thing back up. PG balled and Harden finally hit some shots. Big Zu was stellar down the stretch. One missed layup but man, this is what we've been wanting to see from him. It also helped that Lue didn't use small ball down the stretch and kept a body on Jokic.

Finally Harden even took some shots lol. I would rather Harden go 1 for 12 than 1 for 2, because it means that he is at least a threat on the floor and helps open things up for other players.

Yea, dude can't be taking 6, 7 shots in a game without Kawhi, and then we're all here talking about how many points the role players scored. He's making more than like 4 of them combined, there should be a reason for that right?

Harden still doesn't want to do the additional things that can help you win in this league though. Be ready as a catch and shoot guy, moving off ball, setting screens, he's never going to be that guy, but it would also help his impact when he's not actually making anything or when he decides the defense is too much for him to attempt shots that game.
