normal power has returned

not sure what was more impressive, that 3 or zu's step for step dance with jokic on the other end and the deflection to end him

It was pitiful to watch. This is why I have zero faith in Ty Lue. Thank god Norm hit that corner 3 and Batum with the great block.

Leonard’s missed fts is aging me like sour milk. Not good.

Batum with some big defensive plays.

Game 7 here we go.

Game 7 it is! It's going to be really hard, but if they come at it with the same level of effort and heart they showed tonight, it's winnable.

Even with his rough start to the series, Norm has more than done his part. Zu and Batum have been huge as well. We need another supernova game from Kawhi to close this series out now.

No way we get that effort on saturday in Denver. We gotta shoot better from 3. We are the better team when we play with effort. They need to get harden more rest. He was gassed at the end of the game and it showed.

Old man Batum was the difference maker tonight. Harden finally showed up but he's a known game 7 choker so we'll see. That 4th quarter was tough to watch, thank god Murray and Jokic didn't catch fire.

It's the 50 50 balls that they keep getting. And then Braun, Westbrook and Gordon never missing is making me lose it. In any event good win. Good heart by Harden. Solid game from Kawhi. Norm and Batum were great. DJJ had moments, even though he was frustrating at times. Idk how Lue can get them to be less lackadaisical.

Is he serious?

People complain about coaches not taking responsibility, sooo...


Batum started the 2nd half. As Ty planned all year by keeping his minutes down. His panic button. His secret weapon. That's what generals do. Keep something in reserve. Ty planned this war all year. Not the battles. You can lose battles.

First time Nico played 30+ minutes ALL YEAR. Plus+11. 6 points, 5 rebs, 6 assts, 2 steals, 3 blocks. ZERO turnovers.

Just don't EVEN Ty @ me again. Toldja all year that's what what Ty was doing. And what T-Mann couldn't do for us.

We needed every minute from Harden. Who could’ve replaced him?
Zu with incredible defensive position.
Got scary but it’s game 7!

Lue in post game talking about doing whatever it takes to win. Needing to make that lineup change with Batum over Dunn. Yet he waited until game 6? Ok then.

Denver 4-4 in game 7.

Clippers 4-5 losing the last 3.

Ooof.

Nice gritty win. Meanwhile Bogi still on a milk carton.

Batum's jersey number must be retired after his career finished. I'm sold.
