Let's pretend game#1 not happens, and that guys take day-free two days ago (which is actually not far away from the truth).
Playing against a better team on a neutral location makes already game#2 "must-win" game if we want to win this series.
Jokic has some GOAT moments in both series in the 2019 playoff, as well as Murray too this year against Utah. To beat the superteam like the Clippers, I think Jokic and Murray both need to play their best game.
From the rest of the team, my biggest hopes are Grant and Porter, which should play 35+ minutes IMO. Clippers best guard is Lou Williams, which coming from the bench but playing 30+ minutes, so I would use Harris to cover him.
I have no idea how we going to stop Kawhi Leonard, but fortunately, their 2nd star is wild player Paul George which during playoff knows to have horrible nights. Here is PG13 last 13 playoff FGM-FGA games:
6-13 6-19 12-18 3-14 3-16 4-17 10-22 14-20 8-21 3-16 11-20 8-24 2-16
It would be so helpful if he have one of these nightmare games in Saturday.
Of course, the worst case scenario would be another blowout loss, and this time no excuse for that.
