Not an easy game to accept 27 Denver points off Clippers turnovers, Kawhi **** game, Powell no show. Still had tons of chances to win.

Yeah. He wasn't that active on the glass and looked half asleep

Jokic is still just a flat out freak. Murray is still a pain to watch. Russ with some big time plays to close out the game.

Great game


Absolutely amazing game! Great to get the win and hopefully more close battles this series.

Oof, who said that? There’s only 1 vote out of hundreds for that option.

It was never going to be a sweep.


This series was literally -110 vs -110 on the last site I looked.

The only thing I want Russ to stop doing is driving the ball or trying to go to the rim. Everything else he does is great

Harden really to blame? He kept them alive in the 4Q. Where was everyone else?


He's the 1A. You casuals saying he's better that Kobe was.It's a joke how deluded you are


Please tell me you dont hold positions that affect other peoples lives.

Like a cop,government worker or a politician.

Did you just create crap out of thin air about what i think and then just went ahead and call me deluded?

Are you borderline stunted fam? Again please tell me you dont hold a position that affects other peoples lives.

Offensive rebounds and bad TOs proved fatal for Clippers. Nuggets looked like the wanted it more and made all the intangible plays.


Clippers better team on paper and shouldve won but thats why they’re the Clippers

Terrible loss for the Clippers. Denver had no business winning that game.
Thank you Nico!

This was Kawhi first game against the Nuggets this season. I'm pretty sure we'll see a much better Kawhi the next game as he knows what to expect now.

For real? Not one all season???


Ya first full game I’ve watched start to finish this year. I tried watching a couple Magic games to start the year but always just ended up switching the channel by half time. Just been watching NFL and college ball instead all season.

MPJ being benched seems to signal they will probably try to flip him for KD this summer.
