We are so much deeper on both ends of the floor compared to both of these teams.. Other than a backup sg/sf with a 3pt shot... Jokic is playing well, but the rest of denver is pretty underwhelming.

James harden is becoming a liability for lack of effort/mediocre defense. Clippers don't look good either.

Either jokic takes over, or clips somehow pull this off.

Right now, I feel like this is one of our biggest advantages that people just don't talk about. They see the defense and they see Ant, but the reliable depth right now compared to last postseason might be the true difference-maker.

Clippers play with such a lack of discipline. Off night from denver, and they may give this away.

I totally agree. Naz is great, but we get to bring him off our bench, to beat up on second units? I think NAW and SloMo could be starters on some teams, and Monte Morris may be there too. And we have all four!

if the Clippers pull this one off they will have done it without Kawhi. Nuggets are playing without Murray.

Clippers are good only with Kawhi. Harden play no défense at all. Denver rely only on jokic and Murray. Others players . But when those 2 play the are damm good.

Doesn’t get more juicy than a buzzer 3 ball. Just like Ant missed ours without the bigs, Joker missed his without Murray.

Denver messed that up. But happy they did. Tossing it to jokic with no intention and thinking he would create separation isn't smart.

Phx 3 point favorites tomorrow as of now. Would be nice to take one of tomorrow or vs. LAL.

In terms of statement, last game vs. Denver is most important, but tomorrows game vs. Phx is a close 2nd. Need Ant's 3 to begin to approach butter-level.

Side note for anyone following the Rockets. With 3 losses in a row and this latest one being to GSW, their chariot turned back into a pumpkin. While not technically eliminated, for all intents and purposes the Rockets are done and the top 10 are set. Now it just comes down to seeding.
