2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West First Round: #4 Denver Nuggets vs #5 LA Clippers (Series tied 2-2)

[OkcSinceSGA]

Intuit Dome is loud.

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.

If you’re a verified “fan” you get discounted tickets. Especially in The Wall sections

Earlier this year, Ballmer was charging too much for tickets AND parking. Those prices are cool for the playoffs, not the regular season.

Expected. No Jokic, no answer for Zubac.

[ejftw]

Crowd is insane not gonna lie

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

I wasn't expecting this.

Ballmer coming up with the arena the way it is + the wall was absolutely genius. It feels more like a bigger college arena than any NBA one I've been too. Really helping with the sound

[Wolfgang630]

Is Harden going to destroy Jokic's reputation?

Sheesh.

Jokic shouldn't lose this series.

Umm yeah he can lose this series. The clippers are the better team and they have James Harden and Kawhi vs Jokic

[Infinite Llamas]

Of course, when I’m rooting for LAC next round vs OKC they will all suddenly turn into pumpkins. Naturally.

[JustBuzzin]

The Jokic era in Denver is coming to a end. He's not going to stick around for this much longer.

Best player in the world losing in the 1st round doesn't even sound right. That's like saying prime LeBron got bounced in round 1. Just doesn't make sense.


Sorry Denver fans you don't deserve greatness.

[OkcSinceSGA]

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

I literally said before the series started Batum needs to play a ton. His two way play is a must.

[Mamba Mentality]

Clips are 7/11 from 3

It’s been a Jokic masterclass but they’re still down 7. Crazy.

On the other, it’s great to be only down 7 when the other team goes 9/13 from 3.

Their three point defense is ass and Adelman is trotting out a lineup of Westbrook, Watson, and Pickett. What could possibly go wrong?

[Infinite Llamas]

Is Harden going to destroy Jokic's reputation?

Sheesh.

Jokic shouldn't lose this series.

Umm yeah he can lose this series. The clippers are the better team and they have James Harden and Kawhi vs Jokic

Zubac too

That’s 3 all-NBA caliber players vs one man.

[MarcusBrody]

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.

I needed this laugh, thanks!

Wait, you think they'd have permitted Zubac to play like that?

What a weird thing to say

[f4p]

Dang, that was a 17-0 run.

[RB34]

Playoffs crazy. I don’t want either team to lose.

[PeteyPablo]

Clippers on a 17-0 run right now

[CodeBreaker]

Batum is ridiculous

[ejftw]

that a foul on Nico tho

[f4p]

If the clippers don't miss a 3, I'm predicting a win.

[Mamba Mentality]

Batum is still a solid role player after all these years.

[RB34]

Murray clamped.
