Frustrating game to watch as we haven't been able to get into any kind of rhythm. Who's gonna give us that spark?

Missing fts even when we get them.

Even Batum is missing.

Cut it to 7 and now 16.

Clippers will kick themselves.

Bubble flashbacks for real.

Joker doing his thin no surprise. It’s the role players for Denver that is hurting us. Clippers role players have shriveled up.

Harden with 6 shot attempts is a choice too.

This is looking like typical Clipper garbage in the playoffs. A serious team/franchise would have either swept or won in 5 with the state Denver is currently in. We're going to barely win a 7-game slog at best like always. :roll:

Barely 60 points in our own arena. We’re getting embarrassed right now.

If I was Lue I’d clear the bench and send a message.

This sucks but the series is not over. Hard to understand what I’m seeing but we can beat them in Denver

This franchise just cannot handle the slightest expectations or any big game. I knew we were in trouble when neutral fans started acting like the series was over after last game. It's exhausting to feel this way every time we have a lead in a playoff series and be proven right every single time without fail.

Again, if we actually lose this series, there's no valid excuse to bring back Frank and Lue for more of the same. We need a culture change desperately.

They act tough but there is no fight in this team today. Shameful.

Denver is a championship team. The "state" you talk about is a regular season thing. Playoffs are a different beast.
I will say this that after we blew them out, we should have expected this and showed better preparedness. WE DIDN'T. That's on Lue and the players. No in game adjustments? That's on Lue. The sad part is now we need to win at Denver and that's not going to be easy.

Not bringing the same energy, intensity required to beat the nuggets. Also missing a lot of shots. They are more physical than us today.

Not even excited about this run. You cannot come to play half way through the 4th quarter.

I wish Lue would have pulled this card earlier. Like the late push. Gotta keep up this.

Norm is literally saving our asses right now. What a turnaround from those first couple games.

I'm still frustrated with the lack of focus/consistency to start the game, but if we somehow pull this off, all is forgiven.
