Dunn plays defense like he's got AI lock on. You cant shake him. Amazing defense.

The Clippers upto this point has played some ugly, dumb basketball.

They should thank the heavens Kawhi had a perfect game upto this point, this should have been a 15 point game already.

Westbrook was my new favorite player for all of three seconds...

No doubt they would be getting blown out without that Kawhi 1st quarter.

Joker with 4 shots and Westbrook with 6. Why does Jokic do this so much? He hurts the team too with not being aggressive to score

I'd put in Coffey for Bogi, he has been useless and defensive liability

Denver's transition game has been putrid. Why are they in such a damn hurry?

Clippers shooting 23% from three

Denver shooting 50%


At some point Clippers shots will start to fall
