They will try to put Zu in foul trouble, abuse our paint with whatever line-up we put after that.

Zu putting up a clinic so far, lets continue big dawg.

Of course I want them to go up 3-1, but we all have very bad memories of the past 10 years when that has happened, but then again Doc Rivers is long gone.

Would be pretty amazing if Denver wins this tbh.. Clips gotta stay solid and focused.

Yea, the other team having injuries instead of (or not along with) the Clippers is wild

If they come out with the same focus and energy as game 3 I don’t see how they lose.

Early start means I can watch it live here in Ireland.

Can't wait for the sea of red!!

This team reminds me of 2015 Spurs.

Packed with vets that just know how to play ball.

i hear the concerns. but, from the clippers perspective, i think these primary factors should make us feel better.

coaching competency is a big difference here: lue's by far the best coach this team's ever had, and one who doesn't just do more with less, he does more with more, and he's willing to make adjustments when necessary.

frank took away lue's most useless toys: team-imploding players with egos to manage don't exist on the roster anymore. there's no morris/westbrook/tucker to be overplayed.

this team's probably the most complete one we've ever had: everyone plays within their roles and despite some weirdness and blips in game 1, everyone does what they're supposed to. all we need is bogi to remember how to play and powell to prove he's fully back with another solid game.

of course, we still need to win that 3rd game first so i suppose it's one of those bridges to cross when the time comes.

What a terrible start. No Clipper can score.

Finally Zu and 1.

Down 7 quick but it feels more.

They look nothing like they did to start game 3. Better wake up quick.

Leonard and Harden turning it over when they’re missing layups.

Clippers look like they are still groggy from their afternoon nap.

Leonard and Harden waking up finally.

Dunn missing everything.

Bogi 3.

Simmons dunk.

All that work to cut it to 2 and Harden turns it over fir Joker to hit that.

Clippers need to start this second quarter seriously. They’ve given the Nuggets too much confidence. Need to snatch that right now.

Bogi still cold unfortunately.

Simmons in foul trouble. Might need Brown or Eubanks.

Need Leonard to get a little selfish.

Batuuummm.

Tie game.

Leonard trig going is not great t all.

But Bogi and Dunn missing everything is not good.

Leonard has the worst whistle.

Down only 4 but it feels bigger.

3 minutes to get over the hump.

Dunn missing all those wide open shots is a killer.

AG getting all these calls like he’s SGA. Give me a break.

Denver getting calls like they’re at home.

Knowing these refs Harden will be ejected.

AG and Joker will get nothing.

Shouldn’t take this long. Crowd booing can’t be good.

Off setting technicals is a joke. If we were in Denver it would be a different story.

This better be a wake up call for the Clippers. Take this game seriously and start the 3rd like you care.

Clippers played terrible and only down two.

Just need to make open shots in the second half.

Free throws 12-3 for Denver.

We’re attacking the basket and getting hit but no call.

I can’t recall a game where we’re only down 4 and it feels like 20.

Can’t rebound to save our lives. Too man second and 3rd chances for Denver.

Powell and Dunn missing everything.

This one is over. Clippers will not only kick themselves losing this one but game 1 too.
