RD 1 GAME 3: DEN (1-1) @ LAC (1-1)—THU 4/24 7 PM, NBA-TV

Clippers are 5 point favorites and -210 straight up! Minus-188 to win the series. Vegas believes.

The best series and they put it only on NBA-TV while OKC is blowing out the Grizz on TNT. smdh

I can't wait for this double header at Intuit.

It should be a celebration of all things Clippers.

Hopefully our role players can hit some form and we can make the Nuggets doubt.

Lue said everyone was healthy after practice today.

Except they aren't guarding him 1 on 1. There is a swarm around him.

Think I heard on Sirius NBA Radio that in Game 2 Kawhi took 1 shot inside 10 feet (dunk). Makes his shooting even more impressive.

Sadly won't be able to watch the game tonight as I have a double header for my kickball flip cup league but I'll be checking the score constantly

They will make the adjustment for Kawhi. Guys like Bogi and DJJ need to start hitting some 3 balls. Powell has to play better also.

Yeah, they’ll try to make Leonard a passer. He’s willing and capable but he along with the open man need to be decisive. Quick move to an open spot and Leonard needs to move it.

Hoping Powell’s fourth quarter carries over but really need Bogi to snap out of it.

DEN just packing the paint early, taking away Zubac up close and Kawhi's midrange game. Powell and Dunn with early 3s. Kawhi with a 3 from the corner. Dunn hits again.

At the other end, DEN scoring at will in the paint. Now a couple of treys. 20-14 Nugs.

Denver shooting lights out. I just want a cleanly reffed game. May the best team win

Gordon, Porter, and Braun doing the most damage.

Harden having trouble dribbling. But he nailing them 3’s lol.

16-2 run.

Let’s hope Leonard can carry while Harden is on the bench.

This is like Hearns and Hagler!
Haymakers at both ends!

Nugs packing the paint so the Clippers are 9-13 [69%] from 3
lead by 7 after 1

and Joker played the ENTIRE 1st quarter
Kawhi only 8 minutes

DJ is a player I fear doing damage.

Up 10 but it doesn’t feel like it.

Leonard struggling some. They’re more physical with him and he needs to figure it out.

Need Harden back out there.

Big Buckets Batum is having the kind of game that real contenders need from their role players. Love to see it.
