Game 7, Round 1 : Los Angeles Clippers #5 @ Denver Nuggets #4 (3-3)

[THE J0KER]

If we win today, we will grade the 2024-25 season positively, and if not, negatively!

Yes, this game was that important.

+11 at halftime!

The Nuggets usually have a big 1st quarter and then underperforming in the 2nd, but today was opposite with monster 2nd quarter after cold start (Jokic and Murray started FG with 0-9, finished half with 5-7).

We need someone to be our X-factor today, and in 1st half we have not one but 3 such cases in Braun, Westbrook, and Watson!

[THE J0KER]

ORIGINAL PLAN: Die for every ball until the last second and win.

PLAN-B: Blowout win before 4th quarter to be fresh in game-1 vs Oklahoma.

BTW, no way under Malone "less-important" players would ever shine like this in game-7!

I haven't been able to watch the playoffs but thanks for postings. I appreciate the insight.

I remain a firm believer that Jokic can lead a team to victory over any other team -- if he is allowed to. I also believe Murray plays differently not just in the playoffs but when he feels the coach has faith in him.

I also believe Porter would be more valuable coming off the bench and that is not a knock on him. I believe that because he would be expected to be more of a leader and because we have some bench players that would fit right in with Jokic and Murray. (Of course almost any player would look good playing with them -- unless he was a 70 yr old former football player like myself ROFBL.)

OKC is just another train stop along the path of the 2025 Nuggets! I believe!
