They're really engaged to every single action on the court. This is a real homecourt advantage for sure.

I wasn't expecting this.

Noticed that too. He seems to have gotten his mobility and speed back

Jokic gotta stop making the “right” play passing it to Westbrook and just go man

Nuggets coach looks so small in front of Taylor. This is the first time I am seeing someone interviewed by Taylor look so muck smaller than her.

How short is he?

This game is headed for a blowout

For those who were asking why Jokic was flopping in the first two games, you just saw it in the Simmons minutes. He was being more physical without a call than would ever be permitted if it was a big guarding a big or a guard by anyone.

Jokic finally sits, Zu two quick hook shots.

The series-long pattern of Kawhi shooting 0% when guarded by Pickett continues...

0-2, I believe.

Pissed at myself. Got a chance to buy tickets 5 days early for only $45-80 each for good seats. Didn’t. Then scalpers bought them when they opened to public 5 days later and they went to $200+ each.

So my theory is right. The Clippers terrible attendance this year allows for affordable tickets to real diehard Clippers fans who are stoked to be there.

Batum is playing fantastic.

Clippers 11-15 from 3 and now running away. I was waiting for this Intuit Dome run.

Derrick jones could barely get up on defense and just fires away as soon as he gets the ball, lol.

Jokic just cannot rest at all if Denver is going to win this series.

Man Batum was washed 4 years ago or so and now he's playing great minutes

Is Harden going to destroy Jokic's reputation?

Sheesh.

Jokic shouldn't lose this series.

Wolfgang630 · Post #179 » by **Wolfgang630** » Fri Apr 25, 2025 2:50 am

Jokic did all he can do. It is what it is. Denver isn’t a championship contending team. If Clippers win I’ll root for Kawhi to make it all the way.

The Nuggets and Jokic are just going to have to accept that he has to play every minute.

Who wins?
